Feature Friday

Ah, it's Friday...the week has flown by!! Time for my second Feature Friday.

I remember when autumn began sneaking around the corner. Temperatures dropped just a bit, trees started changing colors and the heat was turned on for the first time since February ! Well, forget Autumn 'cause Winter is sneaking up on us fast. The leaves have all fallen, the heat is on all the time now and we are beginning to bundle up to keep warm outside. What? You've been wearing the same scarf and gloves for a couple of years now? Well, do not fear because MABS Crochet is here (all right, a bit cheesy but you get my drift)!


MABS Crochet features handmade housewares and clothing items by two fabulous women. In their own words "We're crazy for crochet, we're addicted to yarn. If we're not crocheting or buying yarn, chances are we're talking about crocheting or buying yarn. In short, we're in love with our crochet, and we hope you will fall in love with our crochet, too."


This is my favorite - partially because of the name (as I live in NC) but mostly definitely because of the style and color combo. It looks like it will keep you toasty warm!




And I love the colors in this clutch - so vibrant and fun!

Housewares, Purses, Children's Apparel, Scarves, Ponchos and more all at MABS Crochet. If you would like items made for a gift, or perhaps you would like them to be involved in a non-profit cause, you can contact them here.

**** Feature Friday ****

TGIF everyone! Today is a great Friday...it's sunny, 75 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Today also marks the beginning of Feature Friday where every Friday I will bring a wonderful business to you.

Since this is the first, I thought it was fitting to begin with somebody whom I met a few months ago when I joined her Yahoo group, Unique Women in Business. Her name is Erin and she is one of the most supportive, nice and fun people that I know. Who better to kick off this new series with!!

Erin has recently been promoted to Director for a company called Pink Papaya. They began in 2004 offering the highest quality spa products with three wonderful product lines: aromatherapy, using 100% pure essential oils; body & bath, made with luxurious scents and botanical extracts; and skincare, fusing science with nature.
I've used their Body Wash and it is fabulous.....I have Ocean and it smells so fresh and clean. The best part - a little goes a long way. Just a dab...a dab will do ya!!!

I just ordered some items from their newest line of make-up and I can't wait to try them!!

To find out more about purchasing this product, hosting a spa party or perhaps a career that has the potential to offer you flexibility, recognition & team support you may contact Erin here. TRUST me, you won't be disappointed.

(REPOST) Want to Network and make sales?

If you are a woman with a great business to share, you MUST check out this Yahoo Group I belong to called Unique Women in Business. http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Unique-women-in-buisness/.

We consist of a group of 85+ women who have started our own business whether it is handmade, direct sales, or even a boutique. We are supporting each other by purchasing products from each other all around the US. Bath & Body, Candles, Make-Up, Clothes, Jewelry, Art, Baby Items, Health items, and the list goes on.

My own personal experience has been wonderful....we help each other with marketing, promoting & website ideas. The commradre is like no other I have ever seen. We know about each other's families and going-ons of our lives. We TALK to each other and we LISTEN to each other. Plus, we just have a lot of fun!!

We have a Blog & a Myspace page....check them out!

Now, the logistics.....upon joining you will need to make a purchase from the person who referred you to the group (which, in this case would be me), then you will be free to advertise your company and promote your items and a photo album will be created allowing you to download pics for shoppers to see. No minimun purchase just as long as it is something you want!!! Then you will have to make a monthly purchase to stay active in the group, does not matter who you purchase from or what dollar amount you purchase!! Since, Christmas is right around the corner..this is a great way to see new items and get great ideas!!

Come by and check it out.....just tell Erin (the site owner) that I sent ya!!

One Hour

One hour...that's all it lasted. I love it when it only lasts for one hour. It's only happened once before...a LONG time ago. Why can't it only last one hour for everything?

Listed this scarf the other day at 4 and it sold at 5! "HOORAY" I thought as I danced around the computer. Every sale gets the Happy Dance but the One Hour sale is the Super Happy Dance moment in life. Dancing, singing and arms flaring around is usually what happens...but this has only happened once before so I guess there is no specific Super Happy Dance decided just yet.

Although, with your help I think I can come up with a specific SHD today. Just listed this scarflette about 30 mins ago so there are 30 mins left. We'll see.......

My newest

Hello all!! Just a quick Saturday post telling you what my two newest items are. I guess you can say that I have Christmas on my mind! And, I've even started my Christmas shopping...I love it when I start early! In fact, all items have come from Etsy...so I think that is what tomorrow's post will be. In the meantime....

These are my new Christmas Wine Charms. Perfect as a hostess gift for a holiday party or even if you like to give parties!

These are my Pear Christmas Cards, Set of 10. I thought pears would be a welcomed addition to my growing collection of Christmas Cards.

I hope everybody is have a great Weekend thus far!
