A Person ....... After They Die! So use integrity! Less of a burden than regrit!

Chair
Caning, & Seat Weaving What If (For Me) Recently I read a very interesting paragraph
about how, & where to strip off old chairs, & it will NEVER be in my shop again due to inhaling
dust, mildew, etc. from an old chair(s) because of where, & how they may have been stored!
It will be done outside of my shop with maximum ventilation, & before I bring the chair caning, or seat weaving re- storation into my shop to restore! Coming from an attic, an
old barn, a basement, or an out building may cause health problems which I did not bargain for when
I took in this or that chair caning or seat weaving restoration to do!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Dust Mask, & Gloves will be used ALWAYS during the strip off of old chairs etc.!
|
* If you have discovered,
& are daily using the Chair Caning Lock Step Method TM that's absolutely fantastic!
I will be teaching the Chair Caning Lock Step Method TM without the references/substitions so that it will
(hopefully) not be so confusing to my Online Class as I did with MY STUDENT ADULT EDUCATION CLASSES!!! They got it, & use it every single day!

generation!

RAINING WITH PROMISE OF FLOWERS, GREEN GRASS, CROPS ETC.!!! ON SAT UR DAY (RAINING WITH PROMISE) JULY 10, 2010
@ 9:05 AM EST
Peeking out the window to see what the weather
was doing this morning, a welcoming rain greeted my eyes with promises of crops being watered, flowers
kissed with moisture, & brown grass getting some moisture so it can return to its former green glory!!! And no Chair Caning Material has arrived from Frank's Cane, &
Rush this past week so our week-end will be filled with a little bit of upholstery, & some sorting, &
tossing of things I really don't need, which I thought I needed at the time, to be trashed, or sold!!! And life continue to slowly, very slowly putter along!!! One
of the great BLOGS I follow is A BLOG called "COLD ANTLER FARM" & the author's writing is
superb which has encouraged me to try to be more expressive, & write better, if that's possible,
which it is if you just try to do so!!! This is where the "Advertising,
& Promotion" game comes in because the first few words a Journalist sees, & reads will
determine whether you get past first base or not where your Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving "Advertising,
& Promotional" article is concerned!!! * More important is do you have
"PHOTO BUZZ" included in your Ad of a Chair Caning, or Seat Weaving job you did with
a very interesting story to PEAK their interest in your Chair Caning, Seat
Weaving "Advertising" story!!! * Remember every Chair Caning, &
Seat Weaving job has a story, & some are just really more interesting than others!!! Just remember to take pictures of all of your jobs, & Book Mark those more memorable jobs with a great
story!!! You will be more than glad you did when opportinity knocks!!!
IF THE ANSWER IS A RESOUNDING "NO" WHAT ARE YOUR CHOICES, OPTIONS?
* First of all you do not have to discard your current Ad, or Purchase another Ad because you simply
can obtain a "FREE AD" here on the "ONLINE CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVERS'
DIRECTORY" with "PHOTO BUZZ"!!!

FRY DAY & ??? ON FRY DAY (ANOTHER WEEK END'S COMING) JULY 09, 2010 @ 12:42 AM IN THE MORNING
What am I doing sitting here @ the computer
this time of day? It's not sleepless anywhere except Colonial Heights, Virginia,
& that's not good!!! Always have an interesting day; but it seems
as of late I'm really just more than plain ole bored so I'll have to reset my trusty ole compass,
& just go in another direction that's all there is to it!!! * Picked up another regional
advertiser today from Hopewell, Virginia whom is brand spanking new to the internet as of today!!!
Will be getting a few photos over the next few days so he will have some "fantastic" "PHOTO
BUZZ" to go along with his Ads!!! "PHOTO BUZZ" DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE
BECAUSE IT BEGINS THE CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVING CONVERSATION WITH YOUR POTENTIAL CLIENTS' BEFORE
THEY SET ONE FOOT INTO YOUR CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVING BUSINESS!!!

PICKING UP SPEED, IS THE ILLUSION!!! ON THURS DAY (STILL EXTREMELY
HOT) JULY 8TH, 2010 @ 8:48 AM
When you're going
downhill you're picking up speed quicker than you really think you are, & this hotter than usual July
is going the exact same way, quickly!!! Working on an unusual
coat, & hat rack from a by gone era (really don't know when it was made, wish I did) which will go in
a mud room when I come in from out of the cold weather with all of the weather elements that come with that time
of year!!! There's an interesting story that goes with this (hotel I think)
coat, & hat rack!!! I had purchased it because it was different, and I've always liked different things
anyway, and I couldn't take it home with me the day I purchased it so when I came back a couple of days later to pick it up the Antique Dealer offered to buy it back at DOUBLE the
price I paid for it!!! I politely said no, & loaded it up, & took it home; but I had NEVER
had that happen to me before so I new I had purchased "JUNK SHOP TREASURE" which I am now
in the process of restoring, leaving all of its rich history, & patina intact!!! Just
needs a MUSEUM QUALITY REGLUING, & a CORRECT MUSEUM QUALITY CLEANING!!!
All in all we had a terrific day!!! Especially enjoyed our junk shop
diversion this afternoon where we ran across the Wicker Scale!!!
It's great to live near an absolutely fantastic junk shop!!!

A VERY SPECIAL DAY!!! ON WINDS DAY (STILL HOTTER THAN ?) JULY 7, 2010
@ 8:15 AM EST
Today 36 years ago I was Blessed with the Birth of a Son,
& today we celebrate that momentous event!!! Then it's upholstery time for
me today, & yes, I do some of that too!!! If you do Chair Caning, &
Seat Weaving you really need to take all of the related Craft Courses, if they are taught at
your local High School, or Community College Adult Education Program which would also include
Basic Furniture Refinishing, A regional MOHAWK REFINISHING CLASS IF THAT IS AVAILABLE, Basic
Wood Working, & Basic Upholstery!!! I did, & I am more than happy I did because it
has really made a hugh difference in my Chair Caning, & Seat
Weaving Business!!! Playing with LOGO ideas' to end the day!!!

CAN'T DO IT, UPHOLSTER IT RIGHT? WRONG!!! ON TWO'S DAY (SPELLED WRONG I THINK) JULY 6, 2010
@ 7:55 AM EST
In the 36 years I have been in business
as a Chair Caner, & Seat Weaver I have NEVER recommended to a Client to get their
Hand Cane Chair Etc. upholstered because it appeared to difficult to do, or was beyond my Chair
Caning, & Seat Weaving craft skills to do!!! I simply took it apart,
& figured out how to do that particuliar Hand Cane Chair Etc.!!! No contest!!! That's what I
did, & still do for an extra income!!! Today it would
be much easier because I now have the ability to take lots of pictures as I "UNWEAVE" the Hand
Cane Chair Bottom Etc.!!! I hope you noticed I said "UNWEAVE"
the Hand Cane Chair Bottom Etc. because if I merely "CUT" the bottom out I would
not "LEARN" its secrets of "HOW IT WAS DONE" so that I could "REPLICATE"
it!!! It is not necessary to completely "UNWEAVE" it: but just enough to "LEARN ITS
SECRETS', & how to"REPLICATE" it!!! Well, so
much for this now on to my day of daily chores to do for today!!!
The first priority on my list is to restock my Hand Cane in- ventory by placing an order with an old
friend, "Frank's Cane, & Rush" whom has been giving me more than first rate service for many, many moons!!! And we are working our way around this "Heat
Wave" by staying close to our air conditioners which our fore fathers did not have!!!

ON MUN DAY ("THANKFUL DAY FOR ME) JUNE 5, 2010
@ 12:14 PM EST
* Last week I spoke
about how extremely important it was to have your "AD" include "PHOTO BUZZ" like
the ADS here on the "ONLINE CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVERS' DIRECTORY"!!!
* So I would like to share a personal story with you about how these Ads immediately go to work for
you before I BLOG about today's "ADVERTISING, & PROMOTION" subject!!!
* Last Thursday, July 1, 2010 I picked up a Hand Cane Chair to do from a regional Master Furniture
Refinisher, MAX BRAUN of "BRAUNTASTIC" out of Prince George, Virginia, & contacted his client that I, indeed had her Hand Cane Chair safely in my shop to be re Caned!!!
But before I contacted his Client I posted "PHOTO BUZZ" of her Hand Cane Chair on MAX BRAUN'S
Ad for "BRAUNTASTIC" on "ONLINE CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVER'S DIRECTORY so his Client could view her Hand Cane Chair before it was even delivered!!!
* And her response was, she was going to contact her friends in the the Chester, Virginia area to view her
Restored, & Refinished Chair becasuse they were thinking about having some furniture re-
finished!!! And also her friend in the Hampton, Virginia area!!!
* So his "PHOTO BUZZ AD" was hard at work for him because he has an Ad with "PHOTO
BUZZ!!!" He did not have an Ad with "PHOTO BUZZ' prior to July l, 2010!!! Like the Silent Movies of yesteryear you had to be present to
see the movie on the screen, & if you were not sitting in a front row seat in the theatre you saw
what? AB SO LUTE LY nothing!!! It's the same with "NON PHOTO
BUZZ ADS" because your Clients' have to be standing in your shop to see their / your work!!! Now today we'll discuss a big ticket item, a computer, business cards,
envelopes, stationary, & "THANK YOU NOTES" to send after the work has been delivered,
need your business logo, or letterhead which is self explanatory so we will have an extremely short "A &
P DAY"!!! * A "Thank You Note at Christmas, & a New Year's Greeting" all rolled into one would be the absolute most effective advertising tool for your "Chair Caning,
& Seat Weaving Business"!!! * One very important thing do not go cheap
on any of the above items because it reflects your "BUSINESS IMAGE", & no excuses
about not at "MINIMUM" having a business card!!! Because if you do not it's a huge "RED
FLAG" for potential Clients!!! * GOD'S BLESSINGS', & "THANKS"
for stopping by, & "MAKE IT A GREAT DAY"!!! *CHEERS with
a health drink!!! * TOMORROW WE WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT GETTING
CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVING ADVISE ON THE INTERNET!!!

YOUR CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVERS' DIRECTORY!!! ON SON DAY (NEW WEEK) JULY 4, 2010 @ 7:56 AM
I'm drawing a blank this morning as to what I want to BLOG about
today so I will sit down to this ole computer later today, & just see what comes out!!!
* When I began my Website for the Mentally, & Physically Challenged Chair
Caners', & Seat Weavers', & then added "The Double Nickel", Age 55, & up Chair Caners',
& Seat Weavers' I never thought it would be so absolutely difficult to build a "FREE"
"National Chair Caning, & Seat Weavers'Directory" with "PHOTO BUZZ" ADS; but "LIFE
IS FULL OF SURPRISES' ISN'T IT??? * AND NOW THE "CHAIR CANING, & SEAT
WEAVERS' DIRECTORY" TM "FREE" ADS WITH "PHOTO BUZZ" WILL BE
AVAILABLE TO ALL CHAIR CANERS', & SEAT WEAVERS'!!!
