For me, one of the great things about this business is the variety of items that we can make. We’ve really only scratched the surface. We have so many samples sitting in our sample basket in the office that 1) we had to start a sample box in addition to the sample basket and 2) we could make just one of every sample we have and create new products every few weeks for the next year. It’s pretty thrilling, actually, and overwhelming because we have to focus and pick only one at a time. It’s hard to know where to...
