Now for those of us who have lost our jobs, it is a matter of Needs vs Wants. <BR/><BR/>I believe the economy will be slow to turn around, but that our handmade items sales will recover more quickly than the mass produced items as people will look for homemade quality.Christie Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304688541769492212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-977971197192790465.post-17195444188054409092009-03-04T08:17:00.000-08:002009-03-04T08:17:00.000-08:00Thanks for the words of encouragement, Diane.
