Our inspiration!! Mom and I knew that God had a special reason for this business, and shortly after we opened it, Angel, our youngest daughter, was diagnosed with a rare lung disease, now called chILD (Children's Interstitial Lung Disease). We were all crushed.
But with the support of our customers, friends, other children, and Angel's unwavering positive attitude, we made it through all of the dignostic processes, and treatments, and she is now doing really well!! We are truely inspired by our children who have grown up in the family business, renovated buildings, answered email, and kept the whole business running, when we have been away. Without this business and the support of our family, friends, and understanding customers, Frank and I would not have been able to keep such a positive attitude. This business gives me an outlet for my creativity, and my emotion, and I am thankful for both. I come to work every day, and spend it with my wonderful parents, and children, and sometimes my sister, and I can't think of a better place to be!! Thanks to all of you who have supported us through the good times and the hard times, it is because of God's grace, and your prayers and support, that we continue to move forward!!!!
I originally wrote this several years ago, and sadly last year, we had to close our shop. Angel's disease has progressed, and she is now unable to attend school, so we closed the retail shop, so that I could stay at home with her.
Now a year later, we are planning on reopening our retail shop up again, hopefully in the spring, because Angel misses the many "friends" who stopped in from time to time to check on her!! In the mean time, we will be selling on ebay.
My Dad is now answering all of the emails, he's such a help, and although he is only a one finger typer, (in all caps) his help leaves me more time to spend cutting and sewing and taking care of Angel.
I am so thankful to all of you, who have been and will be customers. Your support of this business, helps me to support Angel's medical bills, and save for a lung transplant, which is somewhere in her future.
Thanks also for all of the wonderful letters that we have received from all over, we do appreciate the kind words and prayers.
