Question: Why didn't I think of that!

I want to find the name of a company I heard about on NPR. They sell framed words made out of photographs of things that look like letters. It was on this morning between 8 and 9 AM EST. The company was started by a couple who wanted to teach their daughter the alphabet and so drove around taking pics of things that looked like letters. The company is apparently huge now with expected sales of $10 million! I couldn't find evidence ofit on NPR's site though.

It's their idea, why don't you ask them if you may steal it?

I know several people that sell these, so if you want to shop around, I can find out their websites. (Email in profile)
