This is the original sketch I've used for my logo because I absolutely adore strawberries... their taste, shape, appearance, and fragrance... as simple as that! Ok... Almost...

These fruits have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, probably because of one of my first toys: Strawberry Shortcake. I bet some of you still remember the strawberry-shaped house, bike, merry-go-round... and the scent of those adorable little dolls... I must admit, I still have the original Emily doll in a box in the attic.

Isn't it astounding how these things just stay and stick with you? And you wonder why you feel so incredibly joyful when you see anything made from or resembling strawberries... until you finally connect the dots and understand one day...
