Skipping this week to tend to this new sweet boy. I admit I am bit overwhelmed at times with the learning curve of this wild new role, but during nap time my mind wanders to the bustle of market. Hoping you all have a wildly successful show!
Looking forward to seeing you all again soon!!

Do you ever need a little nudge to make some lemonade? I admit social media is not my favorite task, I struggle with what and when to post; if the content is good enough, if the grid is compelling and which hash tags am I suppose use?

For the past few days, weeks really, I've slid into a social media slump, rarely posting. For a private person, a break can be restorative, for a retailer using social media as a marketing tool, it can be dangerous to be too quiet. For a retailer committed to raising awareness about producer groups around the world making a positive social and/or environmental impact, it is down right missing the point.

I want to thank Barbara Autry for sharing some of her enthusiasm and passion this afternoon, and letting me piggy back on her initiative to have the gumption to ask for a visit to the https://madeanew.com/boutique website.
Here's to making some lemonade!

Today is opening day of , and the first (that it has been open) and I have not attended since 2013. That year I sat 9.5 hours ahead in a dingy room on the coast of India with a very different task at hand. Regardless of the setting and distance, the decade of furniture markets before would not quite in my mind, and I knew one day I would, I must return to it in some capacity.
This year, I sit with my feet up, staring at this amazing view, awaiting a new family member who is set to make a grand appearance any day now. Yet, the furniture market still runs thick in my veins, and I cannot help thinking of the bustling streets, aisles and showrooms that are surely filling up as I type.
Here's hoping you all have a full and successful market week! See you in the Fall!
