Sometimes I don't like setting goals for myself {afraid of not meeting them, a.k.a. FAILURE}. However, I set a personal goal of having 1000 sales in 1 year. My 1 year anniversary date is July 8, 2012 and I am currently on trend to meet that goal. I am beyond excited with where this business is headed. Thank you to all of those who have helped me reach my *goal.* xoxo

I was just featured on this amazing blog: http://www.ladiesholiday.com/2012/04/eco-alternatives-reusable-cloth-pads.html
This little business of mine keeps growing & I couldn't be more proud! Especially knowing that I am making a difference for women & our planet {one pad at a time}. One of my favorite things is going 'treasure hunting' or 'thrifting.' Typically my sidekick, Ben, accompanies me on my journeys. I have a list of 'AlWaYs LoOkInG fOr' items (vintage linens & terry towels for repurposing, storage ideas, Pyrex {small addiction with the nesting mixing bowls}, and gently used boys clothes. I have been known to score GAP jeans with tags for $3.00/pair. I wanted to share what our finds were this week, along with keeping you updated on how I utilize them in our home or for the shop. Enjoy! Items purchased included:
3 Pottery Barn Teen pillows: Typically I am not a fan of purchasing pillows {too similar to stuffed animals which is a No No for us & the allergies}. However, I saw this set of 3 machine washable/dryable pillows (removable pillow cases). Both pillow forms & cases were washed in hot water & dryer. Like new! They are in the boys reading nook. $6.00 total. 7 plain wood napkin rings: Craft coming soon. I love using cloth napkins for dinner & am crafting some creative fabric covered rings. Photos coming soon! $1.00 total. 1 GAP button-up denim'ish shirt (in style right now): With tags attached. Wore it today with my ponte pants & shawl. Boots to boot! $1.88 total. 1 Vintage pillowcase: Nothing like vintage! $1.00 total. 1 Black 8 x 10 picture frame. Finally framed a piece of art that I have had for the craft room. $1.00 1 Vintage terry towel repurposed into 2 unique bibs (for sale in my etsy shop). $1.00 (pictured below) |
