Why did you decide to start your own business? How did you get started?
My business started in 2009 during a trip home to Mexico with my son and his friends. I was helping them choose fun gifts for their families, and then I had an “Aha” moment! I just had to find some way to share these wonderful textiles with more people that would appreciate them and love them as much as I do.
