Natalie Finds Inspiration in Atlanta!

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

111-00008Every January and July I head to Atlanta to work our showroom at the AmericasMart.

While it is very difficult to leave my family, it always turns out to be one of the most inspirational things I do for work all year.

It is so great to see everyone, and to hear about how things are going and what plans they have for the upcoming year. I get to talk to customers about what works and does not work. It is a great time, and I love seeing everyone. I learn so much about consumer trends and needs.

I come back to the office with more ideas than my hands can type.

Fun on Natalie’s Farm!

calfIt is calving season at our house right now.

I love this time of year with little calves running around the fields. They are so cute and cuddly looking (DO NOT attempt to cuddle a calf: “kick” will have a whole new meaning to you)!

The process is so amazing and familiar. The mom’s know exactly what to do once they go into labor, the heifers ( first time mothers) may struggle a little bit at first, but it comes to them.

Mother’s Day Facts & Stats

Happy (early) Mother’s Day from Blossom Bucket, Inc.!

I thought I would let the Census Bureau take over for my blog this week with some interesting statistics about moms!

The driving force behind Mother’s Day was Anna Jarvis, who organized observances in Grafton, WV and Philadelphia, PA on May 10, 1908. As the annual celebration became popular around the country, Jarvis asked members of Congress to set aside a day to honor mothers. She finally succeeded in 1914, when Congress designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

On February 5, when we were expecting the big snow storm, I never imagined that 2 weeks later the snow we got from that storm would just be the base of the snow we would have today.

2010-01-12 15.44.24I recently returned from Atlanta and it was amazing. It is such a good time; exhausting, yet good!

I heard a lot of great ideas and game plans for 2010.

Go Local for Black Friday!

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Black Friday is the biggest spending day of the year, but that doesn’t mean that only the major retailer chains should benefit.

Go local!  Instead of looking in the same old places for the same old gifts, try something new, different, and special!  You will be amazed at what your local retailers have in store for you!  Check them out and see what treasures you can find this Black Friday at locally owned shops that may be a bit off the beaten path, but are well worth your time!

“What Lengths”: Hammer’s Hammer

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

hammer-2whatlengthsWhen we were preparing on our What Lengths Campaign, I was convinced that I did not have a story to share. Then I remembered the ugly blue hammer in the junk drawer, and realized it is exactly the type of lengths we are asking about. Here is the ugly little tool’s story:
