Getting Back in the Saddle Under Covid-19
Yes, I had to get back in the saddle again, and pony up to the fact that if we’re going to stay in business, we kind of need to sell something. After nearly two months, we had our first (little) market yesterday, Sunday, May 17th! We’ve stayed pretty low during these couple of months for…
Read MoreLocal Shoutout: Greater Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post about the ins and outs, pros and cons of joining a local chamber of commerce. (Find the post here). Well, we decided to rejoin our chamber and in light of that, we wanted to make our monthly shoutout to the Greater Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce! …

Recently we have let our membership in our local chamber of commerce lapse. It was completely by accident.

First things first! We love baking homemade cookies and brownies, along with selling and developing a relationship with our customers, even if it is only for the moment and a single transaction.
