I know I like to feel appreciated so I infer that others do as well. Thanks Alyson!

Thanks Alyson!

Yesterday was like all my other "sticky Mondays," a full schedule, this time preparing for the upcoming holiday. I was out doing last minute chores (especially the meds for the nine year old!), and a couple of forgotten gifts. I made one stop at a retail store for a convenience item for my baking this week. The owner of the shop greeted me and helped with my purchase. I took the opportunity to introduce myself as both someone who appreciated her shop and as an artist who paints about the things she sells. She became energized with the information, announcing her long-time interest in the marriage of the two areas in her shop. She eagerly took my card and reacted very favorably to the image she saw. I invited her to my website and we are getting together in January to discuss our shared possibilities. When I got home, followed up with a hand-witten card with a different image (but same enticing subject). I'm learning, Alyson! Thank you for all your guidance. Happy Holidays. Serendipity
