I am now selling enough art to keep myself in supplies, donate to charity, and make a bit of profit. People tell me that looking at my "wall" makes them smile. This is all I could ask for.
Forming relationships with other vendors has also been a wonderful experience. Most of us help each other out whether it is hammering a nail that is *just* out of reach or helping someone create a Facebook page. If a friend or acquaintance is looking for something, we direct them to our fellow vendors at the "Box."
But, by far, the biggest blessing has been getting to know the owners of this amazing operation, Debbie Tate and Judy Wooley. They have not only managed to start a business (yes, in THIS economy!), but they manage their business with grace. And they always have a smile and an encouraging word for us vendors. They make it a pleasant place just to "be."
A year ago, I took a $100.00 gamble on myself.
And won.

Congratulations... I am always elated when artisans listen to the voice " God helps those who help themselves" with a little ingenuity and passion we are often successfully guided down pathways that are " out of the box" ..I quess it's Gods' way of saying .." seek and ye shall find" ... Bright Blessing , my Friend.
