chai wallah and luminary

I have been neglecting my blogpage lately. Well, there's been a lot going on. I suddenly find myself part owner of an incredibly sweet new shop in Louisville, which sells beautiful things made by local artists.

While we were busy getting the shop ready to open (painting the walls gold mostly) lots of people (mostly men - we are 4 women) told us that we were very brave opening a shop in this climate. yeah, i guess it is warm and dry, but we didn't see why that made us brave ;) But seriously, we think it is the perfect kind of shop for these troubled economic times. People seem to agree, customers love the shop and love to know that their money doesn't support unethical practices, rather that they are supporting their community.

So, at the shop, I sell my other new venture - Chai Wallah Chai.... It is so delicious I can hardly believe it. It is not for the lazy, convenience-addicted among us. It is a dry blend of all organic, fair trade ingredients, and yes, you have to brew it up yourself. It is based on a traditional Indian Masala Chai recipe, and feedback thus far is goooooooood! It is chai for the chai lover for sure. Do I sound proud? I am!

I'm getting ready to take it to a really good coffee shop in Boulder who showed interest when I was first developing it.

Yay for doing what you want in life!
