Where has the time gone?

Where has all the time gone?  It has been such a long time since I have added anything to the blog.  My website has been extremely busy along with ebay and etsy....

I have busy designing, manufacturing and selling to the best customers on the internet.  I have met such wonderful people which have gone from customer to friend. 

Wholesale customers have increased and sales have reach international level.

I am designing a wonderful line of products for Fall and Winter, but I can not post them quite yet.  I am going to send some of them to national magazines in hopes of being a featured designer.   My customers have not even seen what I can really do.

The name of the blog will change also, but it will still be me.....Chuck.

If you sign up on my website of just add your email to me newsletter list, you will be automatically notified of my new blog postings and new products which appear on my website.

2013 was a wonderful year and lots of stuff sold out.  During the next few months, there will be changes out with the old and in with the new.  I try to change and add new designs to keep my customers satisfied.  I have been making products from designs of a few of the designers I feel are top notch.  In this case, they are given full credit as designers in my description.

Anyway, I am back and hoping to get this blog changed over to the new name and new products.

See ya soon,

Chuck
