Each Year a New Beginning at Tico Art, LLC
Although production continues year round in sunny Costa Rica, our New England sales team hibernates for the winter deep freeze. Our part time Floridian, Pat continues to dazzle the children of all ages on the southern circuit but I miss the look of amazement when someone opens their first puzzle box and says: "ahhhh!".
This week my friend Diego at the Spanish School gave his two daughters each their first puzzle box. That evening Diego sent this wonderful picture of his six year old daughter opening her "Colibrí", Hummingbird box. He said the look of amazement of her and her three year old sister's faces was indescribable.
I could only feel that I missed that part of our sales experience while working on production through the winter and can hardly wait for my first event in May.
Lee awoke from hibernation early this year and has already started his season off with three shows. The first was in March and was the first Home and Garden show that Tico Art has attended. He had a great reception. So good in fact that we were mentioned in a local paper, Foster's Daily Democratic:
"A crowd of people was seen at the Tico Art booth, which showcased handcrafted Costa Rican hardwoods, such as puzzle boxes with secret compartments, bowls, and kitchen accessories.
“Have you seen the woodworking man? Oh my God, they’re awesome,” said Manchester resident Ellen Weist about the Tico Art booth."
Elaine, Rocco and I arrive home on April 29th to be greeted by all the new item that we made this winter and shipped ahead of our return. Our first two events are the first Friday and Sunday of May in Downtown Crossing and SoWa in the South End. We await with bated breath the faces of the first children to see out new designs and we'll see you soon. Nos vemos pronto y Pura Vida, Don Federico
