I have to say that we're pretty happy this year.

Wholesale sales of what we manufacture are up about 25%. And in our retail stores, we're up about 35%.

It seems that people are a bit more ready to spend money on gifts and I think that's what is driving our increases.

It will take a lot more to get us back to where we were in 2005 (the start of the downfall). But, we're doing better now and that's what's important to me.

We'll be able to add 3 new employees this year. All without government aid of any kind. I don't take tax breaks or anything else like that. I make the business work or it fails. I don't like corporate welfare of anykind.
