Vetrina del Vino: Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year...

Seasons Greetings & Happy New Year (a few days early)!! Another Holiday season is coming to an end and in looking back I realized I haven't written a blog in almost a month. I guess it's safe to say that our first year operating a "retail" business over the Holidays was quite the experience. We knew it was going to be busy but we had our world rocked by all the orders.

What a great gift to us! For the month of November and December every day we had multiple orders come in. Since all of our products are handmade (by us) and most of our copper engravings are personalized, we spent a lot of time in the workshop. Both our copper engravings and wine racks were sent across the country for the season. We were very excited to receive our first two orders for a new wine rack we just started marketing! It's called Antiqued 8 Bottle Ladder Wine Rack and you can see in the picture below it has a great cottage feel to it. We made our first one during the summer but hadn't taken pictures of it up until November. We also added another new item to our wine racks, the Tuscan Decor 16 Bottle Copper and Wood Wine Rack and had our first order come through for that as well.

What a year! We started our business with one product and had no idea what the interest would be. We've since added three different kinds of wine racks and countless different copper engravings. Each new product re-ignites our excitement and gets us thinking about new ideas again. We have had a great first year and have loved seeing people across the country put up our handmade products in their home. Maybe one is on your wall right now...we consider a privilege to be a part of your home!

I hope your 2011 was great and your 2012 is even better!
