More Exciting News

Happy New Year to you all!

A new year is the ideal time for us all to make changes and start something new and that is exactly what we are doing here at Riley and Company.

Tanya who is the owner of Riley and Company recently closed her bricks and mortar stamp store, so that she could spend more time with her online companies which included

 Riley and Company (Riley; Funny Bones & Inspirations) and Cornish Heritage Farms. 

In the past Riley and Company and Cornish Heritage Farms have had two different Design Teams.  From the January 1st 2016 the two Design Teams have been combined and this blog will be our new home!

If you check out this blog you will also notice some changes!!!!!!!! 

First up we have a new name ..... The Ink Spot and we have prettied the blog up a little with a new banner etc so check it out!

But wait there is more!!!!!!

Well you know about Riley and Company; Funny Bones; Inspirations; Cornish Heritage Farms; Thomas Kinkade .... what's the other one?????

We have transformed the Riley Blog into a terrific comprehensive blog that includes samples and ideas for all of our lines; Riley & Company, Funny Bones, Inspirations, Cornish Heritage Farms, Thomas Kinkade and the new Prickly Pear Rubber Stamps! It's still a work in progress, but we designed the foundation today. Please feel free to go take a look! I would LOVE your feedback!
