i'm back!

about a month ago i got a very unexpected phone call from television host deborah duncan of khou out of houston, texas asking me to appear on her morning show to talk about the importance of buying american-made toys and about my toy store. To say that i have a fear of public speaking is an understatement so the preparations for appearing on the show took a lot longer than it would for the average person. thanks to the help and advice of many people i got on the plane to texas (heading towards a hurricane no less) and successfully filmed the segment. i plan on posting a video here soon, and will be back with lots of great new gift ideas!
