So... exactly where do all those bells end up??

Over the years, nice customers have told us countless stories of where they have hung their bells. Some even sent us photos. It occurred to me that it might be nice to occassionally see where some of those bells hang. So, I thought I would begin to add a few of those photos to the blog. I won't add customer's personal information, but if I do have a geographic area I might at least use that as a caption. So.... here goes.

 
Ok, so this first one is hard to see, but it is on a deck of a condo in The Woodlands, TX.

 
I am sorry to say I don't have the details as to the town or state, but thought this was a unique display. Heck, we could use this one for the Windsongs booth.
 
 
 
More later....

Another Holiday Season

Another year closes and hopefully everyone who purchased a bell as a Christmas gift for family or friends was happy with their choice. The hill country weather was cooperative and there weren't too many really cold days out in the bell shop.
Things were really busy for entire month of December.  We had prepared ahead of time and had some things stockpiled, but all of a sudden we ran low on sails, so here is what the supply looked like after about three days of work concentrating on the incoming orders!!


 The UPS truck drove up every day and took boxes away (by the way, we have a very nice UPS driver, but then is there such a thing as one of those guys who isn't nice?).

We had a record shipping day late in the December.

                                              30 boxes went on the UPS truck that day!





We want to thank all of our customers who bought bells and shared their stories of how they found us and who the bells were going to. And we heard from some of the recipients of bells as gifts; sometimes even before Christmas day. Apparently some people opened their presents a little early! Everyone seemed happy and that makes us happy.

                              We hope the new year finds everytone happy and healthy.
