First Stop during our 25th Anniversary Celebration
Seattle, Washington
We received many well wishes from our customers while we were gone; but one customer wrote:
:"I just wanted to say how much i appreciate you guys! I tried to find someone else to do a one time order with since you are on vacation and there is not a single other seller that has eyes with the same great quality and prices as you guys! don't ever go on vacation again!
The note made our day ! We realize that small creative business owners do take a risk of losing a customer when they take a break; but we think the benefits far outway the cost in the long run. We started talking about looking into a partnership in the future so we don't have to close shop to take a break.
Creative Quest
The author has lots of musings and advice based on his life experience as an artist. I recommend this read if you are feeling a little tired or stuck in your creative business.
CAREFUL IT BITES Kelice Penney
On reflection, I realized that hanging out with other creatives like Kelice is very much like what Questlove described in his book as one way to get the "creative spark" when we feel like we have lost our creative fire. Stay Tuned to find out where we went for the next stop of our adventure !
