These Just In

Shipping

Here you see Creative Women's Shipping Department (aka Bill) getting ready to check in our latest shipment from Ethiopia. You can see some blue Striped Tablecloths in the bag on the left, and that looks like blue Striped Napkins in the one in front.

The fun part is, no sooner are they unpacked and counted, than many of them are shipping right back out again. No rest for the far-traveled textiles, I guess. Or the Shipping Department.

So, what do you think? Does Bill have a future in Pictures?

I saw the sun set over the Atlantic; here in the US the sun rises over the Atlantic, so having a beer on the deck of a bar, in Saly, Senegal while the sun setting, was a "must". So was swimming in the Atlantic, no waves, warm water ... I knew I wasn't floating at Fire Island or in Maine. The desert...
