My husband installed a new planter at the Kroncke Road Orchard.  My daughter, Cedi, was having a really good time playing in it (Capri did too but she was napping when these pictures were taken.) I really like this picture!Mali (our black lab) tried out the fun for a little bit and decided she didn’t like […]

And how do we know what’s working? That’s my latest ‘idea’ for the etsy forum.  I would LOVE to find out how people are finding my shop!  I know Google Analytics is helpful but I don’t know which statistic turns into a sale…and that’s what I want to know.  I would love to hear how […]
