We started working together in this business 19 years ago. Before designing greeting cards, we were both in the chocolate business. However, it was not something we thoroughly enjoyed, and it did not go so well. We wanted to do something where we could be self-employed and where we could work from home, so we went into the business of creating cards.
We went to our first market show in Los Angeles in 2000 – The LA Mart. At the time, before social media, going to these shows was a very big deal. It went very well for us. We went into the wholesale business for our cards; totally different from how we conduct business now. However, around 2005, one of our biggest clients decided to start buying from China, and it affected our business. At that point, in 2008, we started going to farmers markets to see how customers would react to direct sales. From then own, we have continued to do so, and it has become a great little business! People enjoy very much seeing us in farmers markets.
We love Some of Me, both the clever cards and the ever-charming Two Guys with Four Eyes. So happy to have them at our market.
