Another unexpected alliance, Garden and Gun (the Soul of the the South magazine) and Creative Women. I met Haskell Harris, an associate editor, at the February New York Gift Show. She was interested in featuring a Creative Women Dots Beach Blanket in their summer edition. I was being my Vermont, somewhat reclusive self, and wondering if this was a good match. See for yourself; we both share a number of similar interests and values ... beautiful things for the home, healthy life styles and good food, well designed products, and Emmylou Harris (she's featured in the June/July edtion).

Oh, I forgot to mention that the first day out, we got a phone call from a Texan, who wanted to get one of the Dots for his wife ... it was their 44th wedding anniversary. He told me, "haven't been to Vermont yet, but I hear it's beautiful." Then he commented, "I think that creating jobs in Ethiopia's a pretty darn good thing, too."

Thanks Haskell and Garden and Gun.  Come see us again at the NYIGF.
