plus several for seamstresses for clothing.  Good to see this going on in my area.  Demand for help in related trades is always a good thing.

Thanks June for the inspirational news.  Maybe things are getting bad enough that people are repairing rather than buying new.  Maybe, just maybe people are finally realizing the damage that cheap Chinese goods are having on our economy? Probably not, but one can dream.

Vary cool June. I have 7 or 8 pieces in my shop waiting to be done. I helped one of my customers sell her 50's style "zen" sofa today and that person wants to recovered it. I'm still seeking employment and today had one phone interview and one e-mail from resumes I sent out. Things are certainly looking up.

I think that guy has a pretty good deal going for himself.

If business is slow he doesn't have to pay you anything. :)
