OT: Guild chatter and lots of ideas

[Guest guest]

x-posted to keep the big NP group in the loop about some Guild ideas.

Well, the private group for Guild members has exploded with

chatter - did they catch the talk virus from here? ;-) I think it's just

something bubbling under the surface of connections, critical mass in

ideas and just a general good feeling about what's going on in our

world. (Maybe the launch of the new Guild website helped

http://naturalperfumers.com/perfumers.htm and the other galleries are

particularly fetching, IMO)

Anyway, I casually mentioned the other day that several folks had asked

me about Guild merchandise - cups, hats, t-shirts, etc. Whoa! A torrent

of ideas, opinions (what types of shirts for men and women, who wants

baseball caps, who hates them, etc.) came forth. I'm trying to sort

through it all and set up an online shop. Several Guild members

generously stepped up to volunteer to help me since I wrote (insert

plaintive wail here,lol) " So when do I find time to clone myself to do

all this? ;-) "

So it looks like Guild Goodies (I'm thinking of calling the shop that)

will launch this Fall - After I finish the new packaging for my

perfumes, finish four perfumes, finalize all the details for the Fall

2008 online perfumer course I teach, etc. I put Beth off in the filming

project until late Fall, and now I have to figure how to juggle all this!

found a great French fabrication company for ceramic and other

fine art goodies. Looks like the Guild is taking off due to the interest

and excitement of the members, and I'll play catchup asap - just

laughing because I thought a hat or t-shirt would satisfy them. Oh,

here's one wish list:

ties, scarves, hats w/ different styles ~even baseball

styles~ you never know (I'd love one!) mugs, stamps, address labels, tees of a

variety of styles, and with the upcoming months sweatshirts. I'll add notepads.

Scent strip holders a given.

Oh, Adam had specs on the ties - silk, of course, a certain width, and others

demanded tunic-length t-shirts. Mercy. ;-) I think he wanted fedoras, the women

pushing for big brimmed sun-protection hats.

I think there's more, but with 90 posts in a few days, I need to reread some of

the suggestions. Whew!
