~~~~~~~~~Who Woulda' Thunk~~~~~~~~

The success rate for a new small business in the first year is 10%,

And doesn't get much better for the next 3 years.

Add to that the fact you are opening in a location that is trying to re~develop,

Where those before you have all failed.

However, 4 years ago that didn't deter me.

But, who knew the economy would hit rock bottom my second year in.....who knew?

I can't say it has been easy, but I can say it has been fun......

hard, but fun.

My tenacity has been like this purple hyacinth bean vine...

Of course it grows well in perfect conditions, But it's real test of survival is when it decides to come up volunteer in the parking lot.

It gets only the water from the down spout and tolerates the sweltering heat from the concrete,

But still, it grows. Maybe not as fast as in perfect conditions....

BUT it survives and grows nonetheless.

For all my "locals" and loyal customers, I thank you so very, very much.

You are the reason I am still here and am starting my fifth year in just a couple of months.

I hope you will come join me this Saturday, July 17th at my

Customer Appreciation Open House....

It's just for YOU!

Must Be a Texas Thang....uh huh.

Do not ask me why as Texans we are so very proud.

I know other states are as well, because I have visited almost all of them.

However, I have never found a state that insists on wearing it's flag as we do.

Maybe it because it consists of the same colors as the American flag...maybe because we consider ourselves our OWN country...maybe, maybe, maybe.
That's why when I started making my altered jean jackets again,
I just had to include some of that Texas pride.
The whole back hand painted with what else, but the Texas flag.

You always know where we're from.

If it's not from the accent, it's the Texas flag somewhere on our body.

And because we're so danged much fun :)

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by,

I always love it when ya'll come!
