Quite amazing for an old 59 year grandma of 4 to have been juried into these first class publications!! By the way publisher Jo Packham is the creater of Stampington's "Where Women Create!! ...

Congratulations! I will, unfortunately, not be in town on Friday so cannot attend this event.

I needed a specific kind of craft/fabric supply a couple of weeks ago for a rush order. I drove and called around to 4 different area craft and fabric stores within 25 miles of my home. None of tgem carried thus simple basic craft item! As a last ditch effort I called Walmart -- they had it and gladly saved it for me. If you want to compete, you have to have the products the customers need!

Wal-Mart sells the one-stop shopping experience. Too often, it's a nightmare. Prices aren't marked and you have to hike 1/4 mile to find a price reader; customer service people often can't be found. A pair of glasses I bought there fell apart regularly. (Never again!) In food they often stock only their own brands-- and their fresh produce ... Read Moretastes like cardboard.

No matter how big Wal-Mart gets, there's one thing they can't be: small. That's an opportunity for small business owners, because we're selling something different-- or at least, we ought to be: better quality, excellent and personalized service. Maybe we can't compete on toilet paper or DVDs. So we fill the niches and cater to people who want something better than the Wal-Mart experience.

There is also Native Wines out of Mt. Pleasant, although those are grape wines but fruit wines.

There are several vineyards in Utah.
