March Newsletter
Lori and I are back from CHA and slowly starting to settle back in. Apparently we missed all of the terribly cold days while we were in California, but it's still darn cold! We are now able to sit back and look at our new space and start to tweak things to make it better. You will probably see it change quite a bit over the next few weeks as we make improvements and adjustments here and there. Thank you for all of the great compliments and words of encouragement!
CHA was fabulous, lots of new goodies to look at and of course BUY! We really tried to behave ourselves, we really did (even though Teresa doesn't believe us one bit!). Lori has put together an entire Sneak Peek Preview Area in the crop room, so if you are local come check it out! It looks awesome and makes us giddy for all of the new products that will be arriving soon.
Here are some of the things you can look forward to:
