One thing about the Internet…you can tap into some of the most brilliant minds in the world from the comfort of your keyboard. And it’s especially rewarding when you
because you get to become a consumer again, and look at the concept through fresh eyes.
Take this one for example: it’s a “seasonal sale” of sorts.

(and BTW, if you’re near Overland Park KS, could be a great place to pick up some display props!)
