Multiples


I have always loved multiples and collections of various objects…I think things look more interesting if there are varieties of them…perhaps that is just my excuse to buy lots of pairs of shoes (and bags, lipsticks, vintage shoe forms, vintage spools…ok there is quite a list)



While in Munich I was snapping away and loved the great displays and merchandise that was there. There were shops that were totally dedicated to selling brushes, another would just sell tights…and I loved that! I feel that department stores and giant retail stores take away the specialness (don’t think that is a real word but you get me) of having unique specialized stores. So bring back butcher, the baker, and the candlestick-maker and let them all do what they are great at…and leave me to do the collecting.

My New Web Site



So it has finally happened…I gave my web site a new look. It surprising how long it takes! I used to be a bit of a web geek (a life time ago) but I am totally out of practice. However I love it and it works for me! I am going to upload my new products (once I photograph them…got a new light box). 
What I now know is that running your own business means that you wear so many hats, designer, business manager, photographer, web designer and the list goes on. However its never monotonous and always challenging. 
 
I love being my own boss and facing challenges head on. There is a great sense of adventure and achievement when accomplishments are realized. Ok…off to face the next one!
