As you’re headed off to a gift show this next couple of months, think about this….
Those of us connected to the gift industry are privy to a lot of people’s celebrations—birthdays and bar mitzvahs, holidays and housewarmings. Pretty cool gig. You sell gifts. They give gifts. Voila!
Well, here’s your chance to give something special too…and it won’t cost you one penny more than you’re going to spend anyway. [click here to continue…]

There’s something about holidays and The 3/50 Project.
On New Year’s Day, we welcomed the 30,000th fan to our Facebook page. Yesterday morning, Dan Marx, a top drawer line rep in the floral and gift industry (and über-supporter of our cause) posted a comment: “Hey Cinda—you’re closing in on 60,000 fans. I can definitely see fireworks going off on the 4th!!!”
Sorry to disappoint, Dan. We actually hit it a day early ,on the 3rd. (grin)
Thanks to everyone who continues to share the message of The 3/50 Project, reminding us all to keep those special, locally owned, independent brick and mortars businesses in our day-to-day lives. Without you, everyone loses out.
Here’s to an especially sweet Independence Independents Weekend!

The History Channel has been airing an extraordinary series titled “America: The History of Us” for several weeks now. It traces, in a remarkably entertaining manner, how the United States grew from a handful of bold settlers to the nation we enjoy today. Whether you’re into history or not, the installments are addictive; I find myself anxiously awaiting the next hour as the previous one concludes. [click here to continue…]

Yet again, I’ve been caught cringing when someone extols the virtues of “buy local.”
If that hasn’t shocked a few of you, well…nothing will. For those of you on the floor, please take a deep breath, rally around, and hear me out. Pretty sure you’ll end up agreeing with me in a moment. [click here to continue…]
