MUSINGS??? Really??? What is a musing you ask...well the best I can tell it is a very old word for thoughts, meditation,and the sharing of knowledge, besides it just sounds cool!! So that is the name I came up with for our new blog. Now you ask WHY??? well after lots of emails, face book postings and discussions I have been asked and asked again to have some way after the closing the shop that we could share different things and a blog is a wonderful tool for doing just that. So here we go with the first posting. I hope as we go forward you will share with us and share us with your friends so they can help out with this adventure too....so come on aboard and be a part of our musings!

First order of business...please share any of your favorite blogs, websites or face book pages that promote a small business that you love...lets start a list and support these guys all that we can...ready set....share in the comments below....
