We are starting September with a slight cool down here in Arizona - in the balmy 90's instead of at the scorchingly over 100 degree mark that is normal for this time of year.
We MISSED the Tucson Fall Rock and Gem Show AGAIN! I couldn't believe it - the excuse being a terrible head cold (me) but probably better for everyone that I stayed home. Looking forward to the February shows and just hope one of us don't go down with a cold or flu.
Cisco Traders Online Store has new merchandise - a whole slew of pendulums and healing crystals. We are slowly but surely adding to the online site at www.ciscotraders.net but it has been SLOW, I won't kid you. Regular customers can still buy on Ebay at www.shopciscotraders.com - that URL goes straight to the Ebay store.
Mike and I went to Walla Walla, Washington in July to visit our daughter and have some great photos of that fun trip. More later on the Walla Walla Onion Festival - a not to be missed event! A trip to Jubilee Lake in Oregon was fabulous - so cool, so piney, so mountainy - a great break for desert rats like us.
We also made it to the ASD Las Vegas and got some great leads on cool merchandise. It is a one-of-a-kind event and every online retailer needs to go and check it out for merchandising ideas.
Whew - a busy summer but glad to be settling in to buying, listing, selling. Hope the new website is everything you all have asked for - let us know what you would like to see us sell! We want it to be more than healing stones but aren't sure what direction to take. Jewelry? Imported free trade goodies? Food? Beads? There are so many things we are interested in - I am like a kid in a candy store! But need to focus, focus, focus.....
Connect with us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ciscotraders or on Twitter @ciscotraders and let us know what YOU are looking for. We are always on the lookout for the unique and obscure.
Til next time - J
