Pouncing Rain Has News That Could Change Your Life I am Announcing today that I will be retiring in the next year and that I have put Pouncing Rain up for sale. Maybe you are the right person to buy it and take over the Stewardship of our community treasure. It will change your life in ways that are wonderful and mysterious.
Judi was the original founder and matriarch of Pouncing Rain. In 2006 she sold the business to me, and I became the caretaker and leader of this wonderful community treasure.
I have spent the last five years building a busi- ness that speaks to the creative needs of thou- sands of people in the community. Our commu- nity is huge; we have customers and students that have come from all over the world to at- tend classes at Pouncing Rain, from near and far... as far away and Europe and Tahiti. Our community is varied; we have had Doctors, Lawyers, teachers, as well as students and con- struction workers and every vocation in- between. We have had artists working along- side people who have always believed that they had no artistic abilities, all making incredible jewelry.
To make the business as affordable and attrac- tive to a new buyer as possible, we will be eliminating inventory that is not selling and adding more space for additional classes. We will not be changing anything that is at the soul of what our mission is here at Pouncing Rain, teaching people to make beautiful jewelry and the tools and supplies people want to buy.
This is a special place, and it needs a new leader at the helm. I want to retire and spend time with my family and friends. I want to be a member of Pouncing Rain and take some of these very wonderful classes. So, it is with mixed emotions that I announce that Pouncing Rain is for Sale.
