Our Story
Behind every business is a tale to tell, and the co-founders of Inspired Touch, Carolyn and Eileen, are happy to have an opportunity to share their story with you. Their friendship began over writing, decorating, and many cups of coffee. Eileen was teaching a journalism class for children, and Carolyn’s son was one of her students. Carolyn had a passion and flare for decorating, and whenever Eileen needed a little advice regarding decorating her home, Carolyn came to the rescue. Most of their meetings ended over a cup of coffee, conversation, and a few laughs.
As time went by, they hatched some plans for starting a business. The idea that seemed the most unique and amusing was, A Toast to You! It combined decorating and writing – the only thing missing was the coffee; there were plenty to laughs with the toasts (and roasts).
One of the goals of the business has been to create a gift that is unique. Most one-of-a-kind gifts require a lot of effort, but with A Toast to You! the pressure is off. Carolyn and Eileen only need the message for the toast or roast to make it a gift that cannot be duplicated.
The ladies are currently busy filling orders and dreaming up new designs. If you have a special request, please email it to Carolyn and Eileen; they will be happy to talk to you about the possibilities.
