Oh yay - back online again!
We disappeared for a while there, gap in the stream of conscious.
Last weekend we were at the Wilmette street fair. Pretty cool! Lots of interest in our new thrilling product. Debby took a class in the Aurastone countertop overlay system. Its like the cement overlays in a lot of ways ... with a few great bonuses. It will:
-
adhere to formica
-
look like granite (clever method developed by manufacturers)
- or anything. You know ... its us. You think of something & we'll figure out a way to make it happen.
-
completely customizable. Maybe that's a word? Spellcheck didn't gibber at me.
-
you can put a hot pot down on it (!!!) 500 degrees! Nice epoxy!
-
after 3 weeks it's scratch proof. I still wouldn't want to cut on the surface, though, like a chopping block. They say you can - but it's a really dumb idea as far as looking after your knives is concerned.
- and you don't have to rip the old stuff out to put the new counter in.
It can also be used on furniture, table tops, fireplace surrounds. The only thing it doesn't stick to is glass.
But more on this later. With pictures. Got to have pictures!
Meanwhile ...  ... back to the street fair thing. This pic is from a couple of years ago. Last weekend was a Tuscan window, a jungle window, and a start on a blue/green secret garden window. I am the performing monkey, Debby nabs people
and shows them pretty pictures. Everyone starts getting excited there's a lot of hand waving & frantic flicking thru albums to find examples.
This weekend we'll be up in Winnetka: http://www.winnetkachamber.com/ the Chamber of Commerce has all the info.
So come see us if you're in the area!
