Hiya!
I can
barely believe it's been two weeks since I last wrote a post! I got so busy and
yesterday I realized I had gotten busy being busy. I was doing a lot of different things but not
really getting much accomplished, or at least not all of what I wanted to
accomplish. I decided it was time to stop, take a breath and reorganize. In that moment of clarity I thought to take a
look at what's been going on and give you an update on things.
Back on
October 22, I began the SweetSavours crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. I have been thankful for the contributions I received. I can't really put into words the degree of thankfulness
I have for the people who have shown love and support of me and my
business. Very specifically, I thank Jim
& Linda Birchard, Becki & Ben Encinas, Margaret
Hansche, Theresa Witwer, Freddie & Sharon Gipson and Sharon
Jones! It is great to see that with each
contribution given, they each chose different perks to receive in return. Their giving to me and for my business
has not only added more fuel to the fire of my desire to work SweetSavours into
a great small business it also put me in the position to make sure I have what
is needed to launch the new products on Small Business Saturday, November 29,
2014.
Originally,
I planned to make the debut at the Phoenix Public Market. I won't guess why I haven't gotten a response
to my application, but I will say I am thankful opportunities are always
available. A few day ago, I sat at my
desk thinking about what to do about my business without a location to display
my products. My phone rang and on the
line was a friend I hadn't spoken to in a while. Kim was excited about her new business,
Origami Owl Jewelry. I won't say it's
ironic, but Kim asked if I would like to join her in hosting an Open House on
Small Business Saturday. WOW!!! You know
I didn't turn her down!
Kim Cordts
and I will co-host our Small Business Saturday Open House on Saturday, November
29, 2014. This event will be at 1295 S San
Vincente Ct., Chandler, AZ 85286 and will run from 11:30am until 3:00pm.
When you come you will have opportunity to see what we have available, Kim's
jewelry and my body care products. Don't
forget, Christmas is right around the corner so gift shopping is avialable! If
you plan to come, please let me know. Kim and I will have light refreshments
available for you to nibble on while you shop. You may post here or via the contact methods available.
Speaking of what will be available, I'll tell you a little. By the time you read this post, the
"savour" making process will be in full swing. By next Friday, November 21st, I will have
made 4 batches each of lotion and crème, hand care products, foot care products
and lip savours too. I'm sticking to
SweetSavours roots and I've focused on products that contain ingredients that
are known to heal, restore, moisturize and nourish the skin. There is a lot of
work ahead but the big deal of Small Business Saturday is the goal I'm working
toward. Over the next few weeks, I'll
share a little more about the products I'm making, the ingredients involved and
even how they smell.
I'm excited about what's coming up and I hope you'll be excited with
me. Thanks for bloggin' by! Have a "sweet" day and
"savour" every moment!
