ONLY 34 SEWING DAYS 'TIL CHRISTMAS!

Am starting to look ahead to 2008. The TV with CNN & MSNBC is right next to the sewing machine. Dire predictions of higher gas prices (less spendable income), lowered housing prices with the bubble bursting this year, more junk coming in from China, bad, bad, bad.

What does that mean for our industry? We are going to need to look harder at marketing ourselves to a shrinking market.

This is the perfect time to start thinking about a Co-Op: either as a store or just as an advertising co-op. Join with others in your area to have one brochure, one yellow page ad, one ........

Let's get thinking creatively for 2008!

Morning All You Curtain Hangers!

I keep changing the colors of this Blog, until I like them.

Well, the Forum is up! But is a closed Forum: which means you must join & tell me who you are. Hopefully, this will keep spammers out!

You may also post pictures here on the Blog. If you have problems, just give an email.

Life is Short!
