2MinuteTuesday – Kathy Patterson
Kathy Patterson
Brendale Stationery Supplies
What does Ink, iPhone and Inspiration have in common – this local stationery business owner.
My interest in business comes from ….
having worked in the stationery industry for over 30 years, (Whoops! How old am I???) and thought – “I can do this!!!”
I made my first dollar …
helping clean a high school with neighbours when I was about 12.
If I wasn’t doing what I am currently doing I’d be ….
probably working in a stationery store. (But I’d really love to be babysitting my granddaughter full time so she didn’t have to go to daycare.)
My favourite song is …
any of Jason Derulo’s songs.
The best read I’ve had was …
any of Torey Hayden’s true story books. (Sad, but a good read)
My best investment was …( on the spur of the moment) –
my iphone (sad but true!!)
My worst investment was …
ask me in 5 more years!!!
The best advice I’ve been given is …
“if you don’t try you’ll never know”. So! What did I do – went into business!! Mmmmmm!!
My greatest achievement has been …
my 3 daughters!!!
The question I’m most asked is …
“why did I open a stationery shop??”
