Bummer. The good news is I'm retiring in January so I should not miss next years order deadline. Glad the orders went so quickly for you but sad I missed them. And I'm planning on getting a chicken plucker next year. Glad thing are going well for you. <br /><br />HoosierGranyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-26089155097270055922015-10-08T21:29:40.122-04:002015-10-08T21:29:40.122-04:00My first batch came today and they are beautiful! ...My first batch came today and they are beautiful!

I will be packaging and shipping orders the rest of this week. My goal is to get all the orders shipped by next Tuesday. Getting a lot of orders all at once is fun and rewarding but ii's a real chore getting them all shipped out in a timely manner, along with everything else that normally has to be done around here every day.<br /><br />The day before this year's clothespins went on sale, I was contacted by the editor of a popular, large-circulation magazine, letting me know that they will be featuring a small article about my clothespin business, with a photo of one of my clothespins. This editor actually uses some of my clothespins and really likes them. So that's some good news.<br /><br />I hope to ease back into blogging here later next week. I have lots to write about...Herrick Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116051416696885647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-24615087699552897432015-10-08T06:53:58.288-04:002015-10-08T06:53:58.288-04:00Mel—

I, too, thank you for the wonderful work...Herrick. I, too, thank you for the wonderful workmanship of these clothespins. I purchased one dozen last year just to see what they were like. Wow! I sure was happy with them. Went back to order more but found that you had sold out. So, I ordered some from another craftsman off the list you provided but was sad to find they did not hold a candle to yours. I have waited this entire year to order more from you and was so happy when the order button went back up. Can't wait to have my clothespin bag full of sturdy, working clothespins. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into them. They make our lives easier!Marilyn in SW MOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050273072977627801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-54575107486518815902015-10-05T08:57:11.276-04:002015-10-05T08:57:11.276-04:00I almost missed it!

Spent my birthday money on them (not many people would understand that, I suppose, but we all have our priorities.

And I now have only around 1,000 left to sell.<br /><br />I'm hoping to sell out soon, get all the orders shipped by the end of this week, and get back to normality around here. :-)<br /><br />Herrick Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116051416696885647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-75188212759505921342015-10-03T23:44:02.864-04:002015-10-03T23:44:02.864-04:00I had my timer set to remind me and placed my orde...I had my timer set to remind me and placed my order at three past the hour.

Thanks for the clothespin order!
Nearly ...Hi Pam,<br /><br />Thanks for the clothespin order!<br /><br />Nearly 100 orders came in the first 25 minutes after I put the order button up. That was kind of overwhelming. I took the button down for an hour to put the brakes on and figure out where I was with my inventory. Many of the first orders to come in were for 100 or more clothespins (one order for 300). But the velocity of orders and quantity of clothespins per order has slowed down now, at 5.5 hours later. <br /><br />I have around 2,000 clothespins left to sell.<br /><br />And I'll be packaging and shipping orders all week.<br /><br />Thanks again.Herrick Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116051416696885647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-83366523117883130422015-10-03T16:07:37.396-04:002015-10-03T16:07:37.396-04:00Yay!!!!
