Well, it is no secret that I absolutely adore my friends and community here. It's such a tight group of people, and the circle expands in every direction. What continues to impress me is the level of creative energy and entrepreneuralism in this group. The women here are absolutely amazing.
I have questioned why such a large sphere of influence can hold such a high ratio of talent and drive. I honestly think it comes down to survival skills. None of us were raised in financially sound homes. Our homes were modest, and we had food on the table, yes, but we worked from as young as 12 yrs old, bought our own cars, paid for our own insurance, paid ourselves through school, etc.
And here we are. Mostly, raising our families in the same financial status that we were brought up with, using the same "survival skills".
Which brings me to the point of this whole post... I get to share my friends and their talent with you! For the next few weeks, those who have Etsy stores will be giving away something special!
I'll be doing giveaways on Tuesdays and Fridays until they run out. :-)
Today's Featured Store:
Poppy and Pearl Co. is a little taste of bliss for us Mommies that tend to wear boyfriend jeans and t-shirts everyday. I haven't put much time or money into my apparel lately, but when you're sporting an adorably vintage-one-of-a-kind ring, it can make a simple outfit look feminine and up-to-date. Score!
This sweet shop is owned by Bobbi, also known as "Miss Delicious"...and it was started for the same purpose of my side business, to send her kiddos to a very special school.
Bobbi is offering one vintage ring of your choice for her giveaway.
