SITREP: as at X-Day minus 22 – 2210 hrs – workday ends.
Demand outstripped production last week, due to me being held up by circumstances beyond my control, and having to care for a beaten mog.
Packaging, dispatch & retail sales have been outsourced. And my father thought he’d retired. HA!
Production is now operating at 200% of normal. The entire house is now classified as a “workshop”, except by IRD who claim I do “other stuff” here as well. Yeah right.
Wellington locals are still able to purchase directly from me, and get both the best possible deal and personalised packaging. Kids are really impressed by seeing their name in print. Trust me.
If you live in central Wellington, feel free to stop by the latest outlet, Christophers for Crystals in Cuba Mall to pick up your Gnome Home. He only got a small order, so I want him cleaned out people. Go forth and commit retail!
As always, for those of you not picked by god to either be born here or live here*: you can still shop on line.
*Governments are temporary and are the tool of the devil – geography lasts a lot longer.

I loved my set (I got the set of two home doors and a loo). High quality stuff – strong, clever design and super sturdy construction.

He threw in an extra roll of gnome-sized toilet paper for you to write that, didn’t he.

No, my eyes are no longer good enough to write on gnome-sized toilet paper.
I have simply bought too much cheap crap through the years (poorly executed, shoddy materials, insipid designs, etc.). Good stuff ought to be recognized as such, and thus encouraged.

You mean it does not have “Made in China” stamped on it?
I thought toilet paper was too soft to write on it any way:-)

I have a soft touch. And you might also be using the good stuff.
