But why?

I feel as though I should be giving excuses as to why I need to have a blog. There are lots of reasons. A pretty big one is my ego.

Surprisingly more important than my ego, I want to find a way to promote my little store. It's great to see fun stuff and to buy it, but to have a chance at knowing who you are buying from and most importantly who makes what you are buying is something that I think is important. I always love the personal experience shopping is when it's someone you have gotten to know, whether by being local or just plain friendly. It's the feeling that you are receiving more than just the item and paying your money. You are having a discourse, an interaction, with someone and supporting them. What you get from that experience, and what you give, is far more than the sum of it's parts.

This blog is my opportunity to speak to you, to talk about my work, the crafts that I do, my experience trying to run a this smallest of small businesses among all the other things that I do.

(Wish me luck.)
