Number Roping

Sign & Web Site
 Well, the highlight of my week was still the Ramini Buffalo Mozzarella farm!  Since then I've been roping numbers.  We've been trying to figure out how to cut $50,000 out of the budget!  It's not a good ideal to start out over budget!  God knows it'll wind up going there on its own!  It's all about being prudent in the beginning.  I'm just having to forgo some finishes and go real basic.  You put in everything you want up front and then adjust from there.  Just so happens, I've got to scale DOWN.  Its all good, my contractor and architect are working really hard to make it happen within a tight margin.  I am so blessed to have them on my team!
Stripped Down

So I'm working on a sign for the window to announce the coming of "pizzalina".  What do you think?  I took the photograph at a pizzeria in Naples this year, it was my favorite oven on the trip and I'll be using it as inspiration for my oven in Pizzalina. I've also got the same layout as a marker for my website, now up.  Still under construction also, but looking great thanks to Zina Jordan of Seattle, my web designer extraordinaire!  Also finalizing some logos, you'll probably see them next week.  I've got to find a sign maker, started that process today.  Got an appointment with the ABC next Friday to get that submitted.  Pricing tables, chairs, banquettes, POS, & insurance.  Got to get all the numbers nailed down, so I can finalize the total budget and pray to God, they come in near the initial projections!  Ooooo, God I pray for favor!

Check out the new website   www.pizzalina.com tell me what you think.

 buona notte.....

    I"m sorry you've been having trouble getting your store front design approved. I'd love to help you with that process. We long time merchants have been working for years to get individual looks to our store fronts. You'll see more color and design added as we move forward. With the new patio near Pizzalina a rustic Italian front would look great. Jean, Gold Dreams~Damselfly Unlimited
