OPENING DAY!!!!!!!

All the blood, sweat and tears (and thousands of $$!) over the past 40 days have finally culminated in our opening day. I think it was a big success!

We ended up selling a few dozen bottles of wine and liqueurs, a few jams, a few homemade chocolate blocks and a heap of coffee. We were pretty busy first thing in the morning, then it cooled off a bit over the middle of the day, and finished up with a few customers just before closing time.

While we weren't flat out for the whole day, it was nice to have a lot of people through, and nice to get some positive feedback about how nice the place is looking.

We had some trouble securing our eftpos machine in time for yesterday, so I think we did quite well for being 'cash only'. Quite a few people bought one or two things, saying they would have bought more if they had more cash on them. Hopefully we'll get that sorted early next week.

Fingers crossed we have as much success over the next few weeks...!
