A deal, that is, regarding the rattan shortage. I mentioned that I was hoping to hear back from a couple of people with possible supply links, well one of them came up trump's and we'll be getting some raw material next week.
It isn't coming off a boat, it's already here in the UK, stuff which was
supplied surplus to needs of a hot air balloon basket maker and he was
prepared to sell it on. I got a message at the end of last week that it
was a definite so whoopee back in business! (not that I had run out
completely but stock was depleting too fast for comfort).
If I continue selling at my current rate, which is nearly double this
time last year, I should have enough till May so I can't rest on my
laurels I still need normal supplies to resume, but for now I'm very
grateful to the balloon basket guy.
And so should all those deserving bottom be:)
Stay safe.
