Teresa's Hidden Treasures

Well, I am very excited to be joining the 21st century and through advice of MANY in my business life, now have a blog!!  I trust you will enjoy reading as much I will enjoy sharing my thoughts and experience with you on a variety of topics!

For the first one, I am fondly reflecting on my start in my gourmet food and gift basket business, Teresa’s Treasures, as this is our 10th anniversary year! I started with a card table and chair in a little attachment maybe 200 square feet and had a folding chair and telephone.  For years, I have taken my staff, now as many as nine, to see where it all started because I know there is value in remembering where you came from.  We all need to do so in our personal lives to keep us grounded and be thankful for the ability to have choices in your lives. I get very sentimental thinking about how much time and work not just myself, but family, friends, and dozens of staff have invested into our gift business. It has paid off though now being the largest gift and gift basket company in our area of Texas with 8,000 square feet and clients worldwide.

I am often asked did I ever think it possible, of course I knew it could happen as I know my commitment and abilities, but I never counted on the amazing people, places, experiences we would have along the way. This photo reminds me of that long road and how much the journey has been a part of my life and I thank all of you who have helped and our clients who have become friends along the way! It is with heartfelt gratitude, I thank you and ask for your continued support as we travel a new chapter beginning this anniversary celebration! Think for yourself the roads you have taken and how your life might have turned out if different paths were chosen–not regretting, but maybe even grateful! I look forward to your stories!
