After a long night of set up, the Store at Grant Design Collaborative is now open for business! We opened around 1:00 this afternoon and had three customers shortly thereafter. We also had three sales! Granted, they were our friends, but it's a start. The Store looks smashing, and the team did an excellent job on all of the products and set up. Here's a photo of Jim at the sales desk with his amazing hydrangeas from our garden. Tomorrow night, we will be open for the first Fourth Friday block party in Canton, so we hope to sell a lot of crap!
It will be interesting to see where we go with the Store, so stay tuned for more updates!
By the way, if any of you want to order our rugs, we can now sell them through the Store at a discounted rate to friends and family. Look at them online here, and let us know what pattern and size you want: http://jaipurrugs.com/SearchEngine.aspx?category=Hand+Hooked. We can place the order with your credit card and ship right to your door! But hurry if you want one, the first order is selling out and backorders will not be available until September!

There is something about that first sale. Friends a big part of a successful business. They will support you. Good luck.
I'm anxious to see it.
I'm sure it is smashing and hip.
Thanks. It will be interesting to experience Canton's reaction to it.
Okay -- first, we need help...you know our entry...round rug or rectangular? We want a new rug and Bob suggested we invest in one of yours...so the question is, round, or rectangle?
And I will take a couple photos of some shirts we thought seemed like something unique and reminded us of you guys...thought of the store immediately.
I sent you a text about the rug. Let us know.
Could we have an estimate on the GD05Hand Hooked in a 5x7.5, and are the "prints" blue or brown? You can send me email with the estimate.
I will send you an email with pricing.
