So while this isn't Rick's big 1000 post life-altering news, I figured 800 would be a good number to share my news.
I recently happened upon a childrens boutique in a fairly high end area. I was purchasing some dresses for the girls, and started chatting with the owner. Fast forward to the end result....I have 6 large prints hanging, and cards at the desk. After a bit of deliberation, I've decided to test the waters regarding my children's stuff. So far the reaction has been amazing, and the people I've worked with so far have been thrilled to death. While the business end of things can be a little intimidating, I really love meeting these new families, who are completely in love with their children. And since they have already seen some of my work, there are no preconcieved notions about dopey outfits and phony smiles.
It's been a little over a month, and things are going well. I was holding off on mentioning it until I had a feel for how it was going. This is the area that I am in www.historicthirdward.org , and something recent.
