Here we go. The start of the winter gift show season, which means I’m off to Atlanta for several days.

I’ll be there from Friday afternoon through Monday evening, so anyone not already on the schedule who’d like some one-on-one time, please email asap. It’s getting tight, but I’ll move heaven and earth to fit you in.

If you’re a current client, please feel free to call my cell.

Safe travels, everyone!
