Has the recession affected business?

[Linda Nelson]

Hi Michele,

As I am not full time, and certainly don't have the years of business to gauge the market, it's nice to get others' opinions of what they're seeing. Thanks.

As we are a luxury item, it would seem that we would be affected. But being the optimist, I was also thinking that

1.) since the housing market is thundering along, perhaps those items that fill the house would still be in demand.

2.) as our disposable income is going less to "risky things" (politically speaking) such as trips overseas, and with the threat of war we may take more time to cherish and celebrate our family, that that also could boost interest.

I can definitely overthink things, and so hope that those with years of history to compare against could give their impressions.

Thanks again, Michele.

Linda
