An Unlikely Pairing

I had a conversation with a friend of mine a couple of months back and he suggested that I paint wine bottle stoppers. Hum...that's an interesting prospect, i thought. I guess they could be made out of the same material that I have been working with to create all of the other items that I have in my line. Okay. So, I did some research. I never thought that during the process, I would find another person out in the world, who is going through the same thing that I am, with bolstering a business from all perspectives, who has a similar informed yet approachable demeanor as the one that I attempt to have. It's been great.
