One Year Later
One year ago I acquired Crown Point Graphics from the Bursaw's. It would be an understatement to say that it has been an interesting year. Learning a new business, a global pandemic, an economic shutdown, presidential election year, it seems that 2020 had a lot of lessons to teach a new business owner. I think the graphic says it all. With all that has gone on this year it is easy to forget about all the good things that have happened. I want to share with you the good, no,... Read more...

I look out my window and see all the brilliant fall colors, the crisp air, the smell of bonfires, roasting marshmallows, sweet tart apples. I love this season!

What an adventure. I went to India earlier this spring seeking inspiration and new suppliers. I can say it was quite the adventure. When I left Covid-19 was just becoming a worry globally. Cases in India were low and the US was just starting to show some concern. By the time my trip was coming to an end a full scale global shutdown was happening. More on that. I arrived in Mumbai India, formerly known as Bombay, right after Holi a festival in India The festival of spring or colors.... Read more...
