We Made Custom Awards for Communauté Positive

The Fondation Communauté Positive Internationale / Pennsylvania chapter is holding their second annual awards banquet tonight. Cranford Coulter, owner of “Come and See” Icons, Books & Art, designed, made and donated the awards for the occasion. Each one is absolutely unique, to reflect the uniqueness of the individuals and the gifts they bring to the community. Each one has a photo of a daylily blossom on it. Daylily blossoms only last for one day, then die and are replaced the next day by another glorious bloom, reflecting God’s wondrous provision for us in His mercy and grace. These photos were from blooms in Mr. Coulter’s yard from his collection of over 40 varieties of daylilies scattered around the small yard which is the home of the Coulters and “Come and See” Icons, Books & Art. As each award was created, the photo that was used for it was deleted, so it could not be used for anything again. This is so the plaques themselves become virtual daylilies, as it were. They remain small tokens for the great energy and generosity and hours of service these people have given in their service to the poor and homeless in Philadelphia. Communauté Positive thanks them. “Come and See” Icons, Books & Art thanks them. May God bless them all.

rsb26Every day more icons are being added to our  site. We are up to the saints with names beginning with R now. The shopping cart works. Paypal checkout works and is integrated with the US Postal Service for shipping. This means so much more efficiency. I can concentrate on making icons and developing the ministry, instead of transferring information from one form to another. I am almost done catching up on orders placed on the old site.

Thank you for your patience and your patronage.

It’s finally working, I think.

After three days struggling with our web host’s tech support, we have finally gone live with our new site. I will believe it when I see the first order come through. I still have not seen the payment or mailing interface. I have been too busy processing and fulfilling orders with the old system to examine everything. Even so, I managed to disappoint a record number of customers this year. I have had migraines all week. This is especially troubling, because my migraines tend to cause strokes because of a uniqueness in my brain.

At any rate, the new system should speed things up for everyone and make things more secure. We have never had an incident. But we don’t want to push our luck. Thank you all for your patience, your well wishes and your prayers. Have a blessed Pascha and Bright Week!

Christ is Risen!

We are starting over. Do you like our Phoenix?

FugolWe are rebuilding our entire website as a shopping cart. We are still almost a month behind on orders. Part of the reason is the cumbersomeness of the order form and QuickBooks. I started this business in order to have a flexible schedule to work among the homeless with the ministry I started and lead, The King’s Jubilee. I need to make it more efficient to accomplish this.

These improvements will result in faster service and added security for our customers. It will take some time until we get all of our inventory added to the site. You can watch us grow all over again. The site will be searchable. Payment will be processed through a Paypal interface. You don’t have to worry if you don’t have a Paypal account, you can set one up, as you check out.

We will be making some changes to our offerings, as well. The “Fugol” above is an example of some of our new art offerings. This was done by artist and graphic designer, Leslie Gregory Swift. The inscription is in ancient Anglo-Saxon runes with the word for bird, fugol. As always, all our sales benefit The King’s Jubilee.
