Two of my business partners, Jen Weaver-Neist and Linda Meyer at Ink & Paper Group, put together a baby shower at the I&P house! Eleven of us gathered on a gloriously BEAUTIFUL Portland saturday. We sat on the back veranda and enjoyed potluck offerings, lots of sweets, and champagne and sparkling apple cider. On a sad note, we will be moving out of the Ink & Paper house at the end of this month. Times are tough economically--on all publishers--and it just didn't make much sense for a small press like ours to be shouldering the burden of such overhead. So all business will be done from home offices for the foreseeable future.We are sad to say goodbye to our beautiful house and give a healthy dose of credit for Ink's longevity and support within the community to the warm and inviting atmosphere of the place. However, as Jen put it, this was a perfect send-off for the house. It's a birth of new times, a new chapter for all of us.
And happily, Scratchy (nee Fluffy) our black office cat will be joining my other partner, Bo and his wife Amber's feline brood once we officially move out.
Thank you to Jen, Linda, Bo and Cameron. Love you guys! Can't wait to introduce our little one to the Ink family!
