The Sunny Side Biz- clothing, accessories, and vintage treasures

The Sunny Side Biz, on ArtFire.com offers one of a kind clothing and accessories and vintage treasures. Trish says "I built my first website in 1996 and have worked with many small business owners and entrepreneurs on theirs since then. In 2004, I quit my day job, set up my home office, built my website, and formed an LLC in pursuit of that comfortable balance between making a living and having a life. The Sunny Side Dot Biz, LLC. www.thesunnyside.biz.
I was in my office one day and with alot of time on my hands, started to organize boxes of fabric and unfinished sewing projects. I remembered thinking - Someday I would love to have the time to sit and sew and create whatever I want. That someday has apparently arrived. Welcome to my Artfire Studio."
