Dear Friends and Fellow Artists,
Well, Tangible Treasures has been open a full three months and having so much fun it might be illegal. Many of you are receiving your consignment checks and they are growing each month. We are pleased to say that our shop has new items every day. Things change so fast that you might miss something if Tangible Treasures is not on your "to do list" every week. Our customer base has increased daily and we now see many times the daily amount on a regular basis. Last week was the best week yet. 

During the months of November and December we are planning a Christmas Boutique and are asking you to bring in your holiday arts and crafts to round out our already fabulous assortment of treasures. We share a partnership where the more you put into making the treasures in our boutique unique and fun, then the more successful we both are. While most of our customers are "tourists", we also have many local customers that come in weekly to purchase items to dress up their homes and to adorn themselves as well as shop for unusual gifts for people they love. I can't stress enough for you to take advantage of a local permanent home to show case your talents and treasures. I would like to have your items priced and on the walls and shelves before the Holiday rush starts, starting the end of October. I must say we get so jazzed by your creativity, that your treasures makes our job of selling them easier.
