It was just the perfect flight from Phoenix to Minneapolis. Well, except for the 1 hour line for security screening. Don’t you just love it when they pull a silver haired grandmother off the line for the special TSA attention.

I should have known that the on-time departure, no turbulence and quick baggage was too good to be true. When I checked my mail on my trusty iPhone, I discovered that 2 of our boxes did not make it to Minneapolis. Of course, they contained important samples for market, but the kindly folk at US Customs determined that they wanted to examine the contents. Perhaps the boxes looked a little too much like silver haired grandmothers….perhaps our beautiful batiks samples caught the eye of the custom official–Anyway, some quick thinking at the office saved the day.

Many thanks to everyone at the office for all the hard work preparing for market. Now it is up to us here in Minneapolis to make it all worthwhile.

Tomorrow is setup and schoolhouse. Can’t wait!
