To Market, to market to sell my designs. A couple of weeks ago I ventured out to my first attempt at selling my designs at the local outdoor Farmer’s Market. I wanted to do some marketing and market research to see what people were gravitated to and hear first hand comments about my work. I sell…

Someone once told me “blue and green should never be seen”. On the contrary, I envy green and seriously disagree with this statement. What a loss it would be to not put these two colours together.
