doing the right thing

Not a day goes by that someone doesn't walk in the store and tell us "we are so happy you are here."  It is so validating and energizing to know that we are appreciated.   People also constantly tell us they hope we "make it."  We do too.  The triple bottom line (people, planet and profit) is driving us.  Things are changing and business is being done in a new way.  Hopefully we are not too ahead of the wave to make it work.  

Opening night

Fun is the word for what we had on Saturday night.  Although a few of our dear friends and supporters could not make it for various reasons, we saw so many old and special friends and could not have asked for better support.  It's a bit anti-climatic today, coming back to the shop after weeks of preparation, regrouping for our next project but it's all an adventure!  We are getting more and more manufacturers contacting us about carrying their products and so our research on investigating the "true green-ness" is cut out for us.  

Here are a few pictures from the opening!
