My favorite color is orange, especially this shade of orange. In fact, the front door to my store is painted this color. I’m thinking about painting my door at home orange too. What’s your favorite color? How does it make you feel?

These dark buildings show nothing of the secrets within.

With this year’s Row by Row well underway, I have been asked by several people, “Where did you get your inspiration?” When I learned the theme for this year’s Row by Row was “On The Go” I wanted to tell a story that was unique to where we are in our mountain area. I also talk about the packaging, and a zippered bag I made with the license plate.
