The first full month of PEM being in business has been amazing! I feel like I'm finally getting into a routine that I can fit into my weekly schedule. There have already been many great learning opportunities already involving shipping techniques, photography, purchasing, etc. 

This will be the first Tuesday that I will not be adding new products, which I am not happy about! Unfortunately, there are always going to be bills to pay and mouths to feed. Priorities!

Some of the recent specimens that I have gotten are so beautiful that I almost don't want to get rid of them! But, only almost :)

The site hit 6,000 views yesterday, and words cannot express my gratitude and pride. It seems unbelievable. 

I have a few friends that have been affected by the government shutdown... shout out to you guys, I hope this nonsense can be resolved soon! 

Check back next week, and CHEERS!

The site officially launched on August 23, 2013 (somewhat planned, but coincidentally on my birthday!). I cannot thank everyone enough for the support and feedback that I have received thus far. 

I could not be happier with these results!

I have a lot of ideas for the site that I'm tossing around. I think I will have a monthly featured mineral, and each specimen's price will be reduced by a percentage. Also, by sharing on Facebook, I will provide free shipping costs? 1 share, 1 free ship. Sound good? 

Currently, my focus is on purchasing inventory and finding advertising venues. If anyone you know is interested in this type of thing, by all means, let them know about PEM! 

I am also working towards compiling all the dimensions and weights for every specimen. This will take some time, so please be patient with me. Until then, please feel free to e-mail me and ask about any product you may be interested in. 

Again, THANK YOU!

Cheers, 
Jess
