We only add enhancements when they go with a certain theme or if they are asked for. Otherwise, it's more on a 'when we feel like it' basis. We've found that most people appreciate what's in the basket more than what's on it. We tend to agree with you. We only add enhancements when they go with a certain theme or if they are asked for.

Now that's ribbon loving! You're very strong to be on a expansion fast though I'm sure what you see on your rack is sheer (no pun intended) beauty. Hi Kathy,

However, I'm glad to have read articles in the past proving that some towns are becoming more accommodating to at-home businesses. I can understand why permits are necessary; it does make sense. What doesn't make sense is to restrict at-home businesses of any type. That type of law increases unemployment and decreases opportunities for people who legitimately want to work at home doing things that grow the economy, puts food on more tables, and allows entrepreneurs to share their successes with others who can learn from the experience.

You need to have a permit for every little thing which just costs more money. Because in NJ, its usually all about the money. Hopefully, that will change soon.
