viadellaRosa - New Directions

I've been in a kind of slump lately when it comes to my baby, viadellaRosa.  I have to keep reminding myself that it's a niche shop, and I won't be drawing all people at all times.  So, I've been taking a deep look at where I want to direct this business for 2012.

While the handmade aspect of viadellaRosa is never going to go away -- simply because I truly enjoy creating and crafting rosaries and other spiritual goodies -- I do intend to broaden my inventory with other items.

With that in mind, I'm working on developing a stand-alone website for vdR that will work in conjunction with the Artfire site.  Over there, you'll be able to find other products such as:

• prayer cards
• literature
• gift sets
• SOME rosaries and chaplets that I will be offering as a "starter" piece, for those brand new to the rosary or to the Catholic Church.  Sometimes the investment in an heirloom piece is not quite in the budget, but I still want sacramentals and devotional pieces to be attainable.

I'm looking at January 2012 for the launching of this website.  It's going to continue to have the same flair and modern style that you've come to look for at viadellaRosa, the product line will just be a little more diverse.

So keep an eye out!  I hope you'll enjoy the new look!
