A New Tool In The Barn!
Hey everyone…welcome back to the barn! I received an exciting package in the mail a few days ago and I can’t wait to use this new tool!
A few months ago when I was going through the process of revamping my website, having a logo created and just trying to get things moving forward…a dear friend of mine told me that they wanted to gift me something. Honestly…I always feel a bit awkward when someone either wants to or gives me a gift. Anyone feel like this? Well…I had to get over it because this is something I’d been wanting for quite some time, but needed some sort of a logo for it!
A branding iron! Up until this point I’ve been using a pyrography pen to burn my initials into and the item number on the bottom of bowls and to other items. But now that I have an actual logo, I was able to get this with two sizes of my logo!
It’s a bit of a learning curve when it comes to branding things…how much pressure to use, how long to hold it there, how to get it back into the exact same spot it was in because you didn’t hold it down long enough the first time! All these thinks make a huge difference. But I’m so incredibly grateful to my dear friend for gifting this to me!
I know that people are going to want to know where this was ordered from, but being real…I don’t want to give these people any business. The customer service, or lack thereof, was incredibly frustrating. It took weeks to get them to respond to emails from my friend about getting the gift card sent to me. And when it came time to send them my logo and actually order this…the response time was abysmal. And while I’m incredibly happy with the branding iron itself…the experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I don’t want this to come across as bad mouthing another business, so I won’t share their name. But needless to say, I won’t order from them again.
But back to the fun stuff! Once I dialed in on using this…I had to get everything I already made branded with my logo. So I gathered all my serving boards, rolling pins and bowls (all of which are available RIGHT NOW for purchase! So head on over the Work Shop Store!) at 9 pm hahaha…and get them branded!
Thanks to my incredible friend who has always supported me and believed in my craft. And to all of you who will purchase from me in the future…I hope you love my new logo and the branding!
Talk to you all soon!
