You and he seemed to have a special connection when you met. I think he saw something of a young Joe in you and the two of you share the same sort of classic, timeless design sensibility in your work. <br />We are very proud to represent Joe's fabrics and designs in our store! <br />Keep up the great work!Karen- Luxe Victoriahttp://luxevictoria.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834112041225378729.post-3238897037817455502009-08-18T09:53:55.906-07:002009-08-18T09:53:55.906-07:00I completely agree - he has been such a friendly, ...I completely agree - he has been such a friendly, familiar face in design.

The very first question it asks " what sets you apart from your competition, why should someone in your community buy from you?" I have struggled with this question for over a week! My biggest and most notable strength is being affordable. But I feared that I would appear like the fast food of design, look cheap and loose business. Then I read your first paragraph:<br />"Joe prides himself on his ability to make good design available to, and affordable for, all walks of life for nearly thirty years."<br />Joe is incredibly GOOD at what he does, and being AFFORDABLE has not hurt his career.
