I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. After I knocked out my last fairs of 2013, we were inundated with holiday traveling, wrapping, planning and fun. The kids had a blast playing in the snow in Reno, and we had fun with Craig's family. I enjoyed running with all my winter gear on, and even came home one night after dark covered with frost! (I had to scrape my phone, ha.) It was fun for a vacation, but boy was I ever happy to get back to San Diego and our mild weather.
As with many of you I am sure, the new year brings up thoughts of future goals and plans. Wire Harmony has been an amazing learning experience for me in 2013. Lots of fun times, new friends and also hard work and the roller coaster of emotions dealing with the world of retail. To be honest, I was getting a bit rough around the edges. (Grrrrr.) But I reminded myself to be true to my passion, which is why I got into this crazy business in the first place. I gotta do what lights my creative fire!! So, I will be forging ahead with new ideas, new techniques, and different ways to approach the market. I love feedback and comments, so if you have any jewels of wisdom for me, let fly!! Oh, and an awesome side note, the ledger actually came out in the black for 2013!! Sweet.
Where to see Wire Harmony...
My pieces are back at the
Blue Mug Coffee and Tea, a fantastic coffee house in Escondido. Stephanie and all the staff are warm and friendly, and serve up some undeniably good java.
