We’re on Fox Small Business

The story of how Rotem Gear came to be was featured in a short but sweet piece on Fox Small Business yesterday. The opportunity was a nice surprise when the reporter called and informed me that someone had nominated me. I still haven’t found out who that secret sdmirer is, although I have a [...]

Holiday Round-Up

As it’s the eighth day of Chanukah and Christmas is behind us, I’d best be posting my holiday update. From November to mid-December I was finishing up non-stop multiple client graphic design deadlines. Somehow, I managed to sail through the several holiday boutique events to which I’d committed.

For the first time, I participated [...]

Two More Etsy Treasuries

A few weeks ago I posted that one of my hamsa scarves was featured in an Etsy treasury. This was my first such features so it meant a lot to me (plus I was in such taelnted company.) I’ve been selling on Etsy for a couple of years now, not very actively perhaps, and [...]

Latkes, Love & Light
