Giving Back.

I've decided that this is a year of giving back. Each month the page will recognize a national awareness cause and a portion of our proceeds will be donated to a charity. January is National Mentoring Month and we will be donating 25% of our profits to the Boys and Girls Club of America.

Be sure to visit our Facebook page to help the wonderful causes all year long!

So today I've been working on uploading images of the new lines and products that will be available this year.  I haven't really posted any holiday specific offerings beyond Easter, because I like to leave some things well enough alone.  Don't get me wrong, I will be offering absolute awesomeness for the 4th of July, Summer Fun, etc but I don't want to throw that in your faces before the year is even underway.

I have some things available for sale still that are on a 'make an offer' basis.  In other words, I just need it out of my inventory.  I'm starting a new accounting system soon and if I carry last years stock with me, it will start me off in the red.  For anyone who has ever done any sort of financial dealings ever, you know that red is bad.  So this is just another plea that if you or anyone you know may be interested ina few of the items, just say the word.

Now, the image at the top of the screen is one of a new item.  I have experimented with over a dozen techniques and have finally found one that is the least messy, and yes, washable!  (I have horrible OCD, so this is a big deal to me).  Anyway, the stemware shown are basic wine glasses but the same technique can be applied to just about any type of stemware.  (I say just about because someone out there will ask for a stemware that this won't work on.  I just know it).

Would you like to see more awesomeness?  GREAT!  Here's another item that is new for 2013:

These are great to give as college dorm gifts; last minute I don't really know you that well gifts, housewarming, or for your own style.  They're SO much fun to make.  They can be customized into just about any theme, style, color, and pattern of your choosing. 

That's the thing I love about my job.  I can show you a picture, and help you to create something that's you.  I don't have a store where I have one or two options for each product I offer.  I allow you to be the designer...I'm just the executor.  It's a great relationship we have these days.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night

As Christmas Day winds to an end I sit here and reflect on how truly fortunate I have been this year. It's been a year of starting a business, making new friends, and even outgrowing a few. But it all been worth it. I'm currently with my love and our munchkin in a small coastal New England town where he grew up. I'm gaining wonderful inspiration for new items but more importantly for a new way of life. I challenge each of you to make one change for a healthier you. Whether you need a healthier mind, a healthier body, or a healthier way of thinking and processing life let's come together as a community and as a human race. Happy holidays fans. Make the most of every moment and the universe will thank you.

A country in mourning

Today we awake to realize that the nightmare in Connecticut yesterday was reality and not the ghoulish dream we'd hoped. It sinks in that twenty children between the age of five and ten are being claimed by parents who won't see them open their gifts on Christmas morning. Let us also keep in mind the victims' families of not only this, but the mall shooting that claimed two lives.

I'm not going to politicize gun control using this platform. I have my opinions about the situation and current circumstances but the issue is that a very deranged man took the lives of innocent babies. May we all hug our children a little tighter today as our thoughts are with the mothers and fathers who don't have the chance to hear I love you again.

Spring Preview.

I've been debating many spring items to bring into the inventory and I must say I'm so excited for all of the great things that are coming. New wreaths, jewelry items, and hair bows in the season's hottest colors. Is there anything you'd like to see added? I'm always open to suggestions. I mean, Pinterest is where I get a ton of our ideas from. And Jeanine has great ideas. But truthfully the best designs come from you! So be sure to submit your images!! Also, beginning January 1, 2013 we will have monthly contests and giveaways that will only be announced here on the blog so be sure to subscribe. :). Thanks for giving us your love.

Christmas Vacation

I've posted this on the page, but I'm going to print it here as well. My love and I will be traveling this season so I won't be taking any custom orders that need to be ready for Christmas beyond December 17.

That being said, I have created an album for the page of all of our ready to ship inventory. These items are already made and will be processed and shipped within forty-eight hours of purchase. I'm just trying to clear out space for our spring lines which will be introduced mid January. The album has no prices listed per item, so you set your own price! Just go to the page, check out the goods and have fun with it.

So, are there any special items you'd like to see brought to our inventory for spring seasons? Be sure to comment here or visit the page and let us know. And tell your friends about it as well. We're three fans away from someone winning a Starbucks gift card. :)

Liquidation sale!

There's a liquidation sale happening in the page! I'm trying to clear out rts items before the holidays. :)
