Is there a better way to spend a holiday weekend than with a lobster feast? Add the corn-on-the-cob and the refreshing salads, crack open a lobster or two and enjoy! We do admit that this may seem a little barbaric at times but we love the sea and the seafood. We are enjoying ours in the @mottahedehchina Leaf stoneware Blue Haze bowl. Look into Leaf stoneware products in four colorways, each with a skeleton leaf delicately fused into the glaze. White Silk, Topaz and ...

Retailers have asked how they can stay busy and boost orders.
1. Bridge is going to announce new webinars soon. We will be hosting SEO and social media webinars.

Are websites a waste? I'll thank they are and I'll explain. But first, it's important to note that websites are different from platforms. A website is something for which your business is solely responsible. A platform is a digital service to which you subscribe that you are not solely responsible. You may add content and pictures, etc. but you do not manage the technical aspects. You likely use platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Amazon, and Airbnb.
