Thanks!

We've been so swamped with everything that posting has been light this last week. It turns out that when you launch a new business, there's a lot of work to do! Did you know that? I wanted to take five minutes to breathe and give a huge thank you to everyone who helped us get this far.

I especially wanted to call out two people in particular - Kevin & Justine. Kevin Keeker, whose name you see on every post with a photo, has taken all of our product pictures. Justine Kamionsky has done all of our fabulous design including our logo at the top of the page. They have donated all of this time out of the goodness of their hearts and without them our site would be a lot less charming. Thanks you guys!

Other folks we need to thank are: Kim McCrea Wilton of Pepo Park has shared lots of useful tips and resources along the way. And Susan often moisturises her poor battered hands with Pepo Park's No More Rough Patches emollient salve after a long day in the kitchen. Jeanine Giles Larson not only got Susan started on this whole lollipop thing, but was our very first order on Etsy! Susan Selser gave us fabulous legal and accounting advice, and Anthony Hand has been a font of information about how to start your own business for the first time.

We'd be especially remiss if we didn't thank our husbands for all their love and support over the last few months.

And thanks to everyone else who's supported us, cheered us on, taste-tested our lollipops, and/or bought something from us in our first few days. You're awesome! We love you!
