That is the question my family posed to me last night during our more-frequent FaceTime conversations.
With the passing Labor Day weekend, students entering their in-person or online school year, and the ending of a strange summer season during a global pandemic, people are looking forward to a time that can bring spirit and happiness to the darkness: the holidays.
But how holly and jolly will this holiday season be in terms of shopping? After all, the holidays are notorious ...

Thinking about a Holiday tablesetting?
Anna Weatherley porcelain designs are hand painted by a group of very highly trained master painters in a studio in Budapest, Hungary. This method of painting is a “dying art form”; the product of long hours of work on each object. The fine shading, the small brush stokes, and the intricate details are the result of a very time consuming process. The large variety of patterns can be coordinated with contemporary and traditional interior decor.

Creamware has been in the offering for more than forty years. Many times, the original has been French, and yet we make ours in Italy as the craftsmanship is exceptional and historic.

Part of my job is to review registry software. I ensure that it works well for retailers, registrants, and gift-givers (family and friends). I also assess whether it offers good value (price vs results).
A retailer recently shared with me that it uses the service MyRegistry.com. I reviewed the retailer's site and how a customer would make a registry purchase via MyRegistry.com. For privacy purposes, I changed the name of the store in the screenshots shown.
These days everyone wants to be a ‘digital company,’ but truth be told the heart of a digital company often lies in analog, traditional mediums like: paper sketches, face-to-face conversations, and inspiration from window shopping.
As an example of this, shown here is my stretch of the home goods industry that I’m converting to a digital graphic. While we’ll eventually view the finished chart via pixels, this idea was originally born of good ol’ ...
