Words of Wisdom: Have a work ethic God can bless. If you
cannot experience the spirit in the work you are doing today, then you cannot
experience the spirit at all! -Author

A Heartfelt Word
This is always such a busy time of year for finalizing our
product development for the upcoming January Winter Shows. There is a lot of
tedious work involved in the start to finish of any product that is designed to
be unique and different than anything else that is out there… one of our
primary goals. Studying and analyzing the trends throughout the industry, many
hours of design concepts and taking them to the final product stage, trying to
keep a handle on quality and integrity of design with vendors, catalog proofing
and finally, all the show preparation and detail to get the product to market.
It is always with excited anticipation that we approach the
show season. Creating product and staying true to our core mission statement:
To provide unique and distinctive product with meaningful sentiment at a high
perceived value; having a relationship with our customers and keeping them
happy with us and our service, but primarily to honor God with all we do.
The Heart of Heartfelt
The colors of fall foliage at its peak, is one of my
favorite things. Driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway near our home is truly
magnificent this time of the year. In a
few weeks, I will travel to High Point, NC for the International Home
Furnishings Show; the drive there always leaves me awestruck at the majesty of
God’s glory in nature. The beautiful introductions
at this show, also keeps me awestruck at the creativity of artist and
designers in our industry.
I remember reading once that elegance is not being noticed, its about being remembered. It is a beauty that never fades. That is how I feel about the seasons of the year, trying to create concepts and designs that reflect that also, but especially, about sharing words that are elegant and meaningful in our products. That is my work ethic and I am blessed to experience that spirit everyday as I continue to share the many Heartfelt products with our gift industry.
From my heart to yours,
LoveLea
