Etsy excitement

[mizarchivist]

The stranger who bought a small tin from me last week has asked me to make custom made tins- we had a lot of back and forthing about the dimensions she'd need. Just about none of my tins are 2" tall, which was her requirement. They're either woefully short of that number or over 4",  which wouldn't work. However, I figured out that the largest spice container tin on the Container Store site is satisfactory to her, so I need to make a pilgrimage to the Promised Land.  EDIT: I ended up buying 20 tins online, so the end cost will be 1.50/tin instead of 2.50 and I get to use Etsy "profits" to pay for this purchase via paypal. I hope it doesn't take too long for them to ship! :)
I'm giddy with this major success. I expect I'll get a few extra of the same size on the principle of she may have friends who would also like some of that sort. It would be entirely ironic if future sales were for a size I have none of normally.

Also: finished The Book this afternoon. I'm pleased. Email me if you want to natter on about details.
