Addressing a Serious Issue

Read MoreWhen an Email “Hurts”
So… as you might suspect, we get a LOT of mail from customers. Sometimes a letter can make me laugh… sometimes it can make me think…at times it can humble me, annoy me or MAKE MY DAY! But every once in a while (thank goodness its not too often) a customer send me an email…

So… if you haven’t visited the homepage of my website in the past few weeks, then you may not have noticed that we’ve updated our logo. Well… to be clear, I wasn’t the one that updated it because I wouldn’t begin to know how to do that. Instead, I hired a talented young college student…

So… you might remember from a previous post that we were NOT very happy with the results from our 2018 AQS Paducah show… so much so that we asked to be moved to the Expo Hall for 2019. So when we found out in November that there would indeed be room for us in that…

So… with yet another pattern almost in the books, it’s time to choose the ONE bag sample that best represents the Bangle Buddie design for the pattern cover! In order to do this, I like thinking about which of our samples would most appeal to our customers… which one would gather the most attention at shows… and…

So… in our last post we told you that we had only one more sample to create before making the all-important decision about which bag we’ll be placing on the pattern cover and if you’re thinking that this fabric looks familiar… you would be absolutely RIGHT!
