Little-By-Little

We are getting there little by little. It's tough trying to get a business rolling with out going into debt, and I want to say I kind of like it this way.

There is that old saying...you appreciate it more since you had to work for it...

This is so true, we are grateful for ever step we take, closer and closer, day by day. Now I know this sounds like a bunch of cliche's, believe you, me...it's not. Sure we could wave a magic wand around and poof.....the shop is done...(who am I kidding that sounds fantastic)...that would be nice and all but, there is something to it when you build each table/workstation/desk.

What do we have done, how productive have we been?


We have a computer desk and new to Us computer.


Built workstation, and stocking with supplies...pens, paper, equipment, tools...

ok there is nothing in there but i promise...i have pens, paper clips and envelopes galore!




Bought sink top (we still have to buy the cabinets that the sink fit in...we should have this done by Saturday?)

Bought a new to us display refrigerator, THANK YOU INTERNET!!!


side note...I tell you, this Internet thing is fantastic...now if only we can get it to be productive...hummmmm...all that will come...

Printed temporary business cards...now I know some people maybe cringing right now, but let me explain...A) remember we are doing this debt free and B) they are not those perforated style that you can tell you made them yourself...(not that there is anything wrong with that, just not the direction we are going) they are laser printed double sized, for advertising purposes also...


Next up drilling for the pluming...something about the s-curve connects to the straight pipe, the straight pipe connects to the "P" trap...I don't know...it's plumbing...that covers it!

Supplies...more supplies, buckets and vases oh my!

San Diego Rose Company is coming along, we are the little engine that could...choo, choo!

Setting Up Shop!

What have we been up to?

We have part of our website done...now it's published and you can view the items, however it's not funtioning yet...you can't order just yet....check out our website


San Diego Rose Company officially has a home! Ok...retail location but none the less...


We have a home!!!

Follow me here...we have the name, we have the corporation, all we needed was a "home". We now have it, and we are moving in...slowly but surly. Doing it all debt free.

That's right....DEBT FREE. Starting off we did not want to go into debt right away to get this new venture up and running. Sure we could have gone out and gotten some sort of loan/credit card but we really wanted to get a business running in this market and make it profitable, without it taking 2-3 years. Sure down the line the corporation will take on debt but as of right now, we are doing it all out of pocket. Only spending what necessary to get us going, using what we have already to make due. Going as green as we possibly can, reuse, reuse, reuse. We are buying a few things new as we have not been able to find everything used or refurbished. We will be using as much recycled materials as possible.

A Rose by any other name...

http://www.sandiegorosecompany.com/



A rose is a perennial flower shrub or vine of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae, that contains over 100 species and comes in a variety of colors. The species form a group of erect shrubs, and climbing or trailing plants, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. It is a common error to refer to roses having thorns. But thorns are modified leaves, whereas these sharp protrusions on a rose are modified epidermal tissues (prickles). Most are native to Asia, with smaller numbers of species native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Natives, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and fragrance. [1]
The leaves are alternate and pinnately compound, with sharply toothed oval-shaped leaflets. The plant's fleshy edible fruit is called a rose hip. Rose plants range in size from tiny, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 20 meters in height. Species from different parts of the world easily hybridize, which has given rise to the many types of garden roses.
The name originates from Latin rosa, borrowed from Oscan from colonial Greek in southern Italy: rhodon (Aeolic form: wrodon), from Aramaic wurrdā, from Assyrian wurtinnu, from Old Iranian *warda (cf. Armenian vard, Avestan warda, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr).[2][3]
Attar of rose is the steam-extracted essential oil from rose flowers that has been used in perfumes for centuries. Rose water, made from the rose oil, is widely used in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Rose hips are occasionally made into jam, jelly, and marmalade, or are brewed for tea, primarily for their high Vitamin C content. They are also pressed and filtered to make rose hip syrup. Rose hips are also used to produce Rose hip seed oil, which is used in skin products and some makeup products.
