Hey Girlies!
Whew, what a summer it has been…. I have been long absent this summer trying to get my youngest ready for college and to nurture my small business into new ventures.
New Venture #1 – Taking in goods from talented crafters – I should soon receive my first shipment of quality hand crafted goods from the very talented Krystine Vermeer at The Purse-Onality Shoppe. Krystine hand crafts one-of-a-kind, unique handbags perfect for any occasion. Although I have never met Krystine personally, we have built quite a nice friendship through our online businesses. My order from her should arrive sometime this week, and it will feel a bit like Christmas! Up to now I have only been able to drool over her lovely creations in her online store. Krystine’s goods were at the top of the list of “have to have” items for my other new venture…a brick and mortar store.
New Venture #2 – A brick and mortar store – Okay, now, don’t get all excited. I don’t have my OWN store, just a small space in a local store…but a new venture nonetheless.
Along with items from The Purse-Onality Shoppe,I will have hand crafted hair bows, woven headbands, character clippies and more from a small group have very talented ladies I also have a nice online friendship with. Once their items arrive, I will post more about who they are, and what they make.
This store will in no way replace my online boutique, in fact, I am dedicating some serious time to improving my picture taking skills and getting those pictures on both the website and Etsy site. I have a few brand new items listed on the site, and even more that are ready to be listed, but still need pictures taken! Whew, I need a secretary!
New Venture #3 – Presenting the opportunity to purchase raw monogrammed pieces for crafters who do not have an embroidery machine – Covered buttons are all the rage right now, and gals love them monogrammed! I have yards and yards of fabric to choose from, and for the teeny tiny buttons, I use ribbon as well. My monogrammed fabric circles will be in multiple sizes and will be lined.
As you can see, I have lots to do…but rest assured…I LOVE it!
Later Gals,
CindyB
