12/09/2005 Entry: "Holiday Champagne Sale"

Last weekend I joined four other women entrepreneurs at a Holiday Sale in San Francisco. It was held in a charming Victorian house in the Mission. Lisa of Kept Couture invited me to set up a table and sell some of my pastries in their private weekend sale with Mandy and Sarah from Redstart Design and Rigel Stuhmiller (I love her fruit/vegetable prints). I was so busy preparing for the sale because I didn't know how much to prepare. It was my first time selling to people I didn't know, so I was a nervous wreck all week. I decided to make some chocolate sablés, macarons, lemon tarts, chocolate igloos, and strawberry cream puffs. Although we didn't get the turnout we wanted, it was a very good learning experience for me. One important thing I learned: It's great to have friends who will buy all your leftovers. :)
