Hello,

It's been a while, dear reader, and I've missed you!

Spring brings new life... new ideas on how to market your business... and a few more reasons to order shortbread gifts.

My daffodils blossomed overnight. My shortbread business is experiencing a growth spurt as well! I'm delighted to have you as a part of this very exciting time in the life of a gourmet gift entrepreneur.

Speaking of gifts... Mother's Day falls on May 13 this year, with two other holidays following closely on its heels...

National Shortbread Day - May 16 (a self-proclaimed holiday that also happens to fall on my 45th birthday).

Virtual Assistants Day - May 18. Show your appreciation for all the admin and tech professionals who keep our websites running like clockwork!

Place your order for Mother's Day and May Holiday Shortbread!

In other news, I took a little time off from publishing the VSC newsletter to offer blogging tips to budding business owners.

If you missed the course I taught at WBON on how blogs are an ongoing conversation with your perfect customers, not to worry. I'll be hosting more classes like this one in the near future. Stay tuned!

Happy Spring - from Vermont Shortbread Company staff and associates.

Quotations About Mothers

Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here an hour I would die for you
This is the miracle of life.

- Maureen Hawkins

The sweetest sounds to mortals given | Are heard in Mother, Home, and Heaven. - William Goldsmith Brown

And so our mothers and grandmothers have, more often than not anonymously, handed on the creative spark, the seed of the flower they themselves never hoped to see -- or like a sealed letter they could not plainly read. - Alice Walker

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own. - Aristotle

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. - Theodore Hesburgh

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love.  - Mildred B. Vermont

Mother - that was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries. - T. DeWitt Talmage

Happy Mother's Day from
