Getting To Know You, Getting To Know All About You - Part I

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the Green Street Company’s official blog, Green Street Company Folk Art Talk. Seeing as this is the first post for our blog series, I thought it would be appropriate to begin this series by letting our readers learn more about us.


This inaugural blog series entitled “Getting to know you, getting to know all about you” is a short four part series that is designed to accomplish the following objectives:

• Part I - To explain the purpose of the Green Street Company Folk Art Talk.
• Part II - To provide biographical information about the Green Street Company.
• Part III - To include useful and or relevant information that pertains to some aspect of our “folk art talk” discussion.
• Part IV - To establish a timeline for forthcoming Green Street Folk Art Talk blog posts and to introduce the next series of blog topics.

Part I - Our Purpose

Over the past twenty years the Green Street Company has been developing a unique line of Americana folk art products, establishing a business, travelling the arts and crafts circuit, and transitioning to online sales. During that time we’ve met an assortment of people, a bundle of interesting characters, and an assembly of special friends. Some of these people are folk artists. Whereas others shared common interests, similar life experience, or had an appreciation the uniqueness and diversity of American folk art. When all's said and done, we met people that shared our fondness of folk art and our interests in lives of folk artists. It is for this reason that we decided it was time to develop a blog.

This blog is intended to be a unique resource for:

• People with an appreciation for folk art and other hand-made products.
• Individuals that are interested in learning more about Americana folk art or are folk art collectors.
• Personalities curious about the lives of folk artists and folks that want to share their love of folk art with us.
• Folk artists and/or individuals interested in starting their own folk art business or our curious about the process.

We hope that you will continue to follow along with our blog. In the meantime we will read subscriber comments and provide feedback when applicable.

Sincerely,


Michelle L. Edwards
