Hello EVERYONE!
Wishing you all a SUPER HAPPY FRIDAY as we blog from somewhere in good o’l Noblesville.
We are not in the store today as it is our day off, but Pam is in so do stop by, even if it’s only to say hi and sample some of her Red Rock Rooibos Tea from South Africa. So today there are no classes and no appointments, instead what we are doing in working on our online presence. Every time we do we make a positive step forward for our small business. For a long time it was all sales, and then of late, O Magazine started following us, the lovely Lawrence Adisa did the same too (love you LA: http://www.thelovesection.com), OMG OMG OMG India Arie (who we have always wanted to dress) also followed us and all the way from Canada even Natalie Brown took notice of our work. We are humbled and honored and hope to make even more connections.
We Especially want to create that online presence now because we are “hungry”. It’s been 4 years since we were last on the cover of anything and we are thinking it’s time we were on the cover of another publication. What do you think? We’ve reached out to all magazines both here in the US and of course everywhere else.
We are working with other small business owners from the rest of the world. People who have found a way to recycle magazines, we buy their beads to use in our store. People who’ve found a way to recycle soda bottles and turn those into beads too, fabulous, we’ve bought their beads as well. So why not ask the world to also come on board and tell of our small business story? Let’s see who steps up first.
For today though we wanted to reach out to the handbag or as Kenyans so fondly like to say thanks to Redykyulass, handapacka fanatics and let them know of the new goodies we just got from Nairobi. These are clutches but we have more variations coming in and we want to overwhelm you with options.
We love our shoppers and the eye they have for what we want to sell in our store and these beauties came over yesterday. Saw them and bought them ON THE SPOT. So now we have a little tantalizing selection and before we get them to the store, we wanted you to check them out online and tell a friend for a chance to get 50% OFF of one.
The bags are once again made from recycled gunia (sacks for carrying potatoes and such in East Africa). Some have touches of leather and some have embellishments on them. Call/ Text the number to leave us your order and continue to keep us posted on what you want us to create/ bring into the store. We do value your input and participation in our online existence.
Smooches~
