UPDATE

This has been quite a busy summer for me. I haven’t been able to blog as much as I’d like. I decided to close out the summer with a little help from the blogosphere. I’ll be switching things up a bit and each week, rather than new content, I’ll be sharing interesting articles from around the web. I’ll return to the regular schedule in September.

P.S. If you’re in NYC, don’t forget to check out the Gift & Home Textiles Market Week:
