NEWSLETTER #1-HOW DID WE GET HERE-PART ONE: QUICK RECAP

How did come to this?

I was looking through my notes and realized that I first launched the business in 2007 with a line of letterpress cards. The official launch was in 2010. The business had modest success with gift shops in Seattle and even Canada, BUT we had to close in 2011.

There were attempts to bring Salutations back in 2017 (when I worked for Seattle Magazine as an Arts Editor). That's where the Surviving Seattle line was born. Although the team rejected the sketches, I never gave up on the idea of a Salutations rebirth.

During COVID, I created two new lines, Animal and Womyn's BDay, and thought about reopening the card business.

Ideas for other lines followed, and after creating a robust business plan courtesy of Ventures, in 2023 we were back in business!!!

Thanks to everyone for their continued support. My cards thank you, and I thank you!
