it's jakki from rpi

Hi! I think it found you in my email. How are you?!

good!

you?

I have been trying to find you on etsy for a while...I must have been mistyping your store name

lol, thats so cool that youre on etsy too!

well you were the inspiration!

I love your shop! Have you been doing alot with it?

Oh yeah? How did I do that?

Well I made a new years resolution to try to list something everyday and it has been going pretty well so far

Well you had sent out the email to everyone a while ago about looking for recycled materials

And I checked out your store and fell in love with etsy...I had been thinking about starting my own invitation business for awhile and...

etsy was the venue I had been looking for

Awesome. Good luck! I love esty but it is a little hard to get noticed there. We've been doing much better at craft fairs and such

nt to give that a try too

oops, *you may want to....

so how is architecture treating you?

I am not sure I am craft fair ready....hopefully soon!

ugh! architecture is rough out here. How about you? How is troy?

I am not loving it, hence the side business. Troy is fine though and hopefully I can figure out my life one of these days

hahahaha

i am so in the same boat

well if nothing else architecture gave us good etsy connections!!

Its scary, I wish theyd have warned us that we may hate it.

True!

My business partner is a unhappy architect too!

So where are you living now?

I am out in groton ct. Ron has a steady job as an engineer out here (thank god!)

Nice. Are you still architecting at all?

I was until a few weeks ago. I had a part time job with a Cape Cod firm and things just started slowing down. So I am looking for a new job

and there aren't local firms hiring so I think I am going to look outside architecture

well, maybe it the perfect opportunity to kick off your business?

it really has been! And I love it....I wish I could do it full time

you think you'll be able to leave architecture and head into business anytime soon?

Im still working full time which is seriously rough. Im going to try to find something part time instead

That way I can try to give revision a chance

how did you find a part time architecture job?

by complete and total accident!

I am sure you'll be to find part time jobs more easily now

hope so

well I gotta get going

Good luck with everything

it was really good to "bump" into you

Thanks. Good luck to you too!
