Getting Ready for Market

Wow! It has been a very interesting December. There's always something happening around here and with Dallas Market coming up in just a few short weeks, the frosting is flying... literally. I found these awesome candle holders at one of my favorite junk shops. They're going to look great with my display.

I can't wait to show you all what I've been busily working on so stay tuned. In the mean time I've discounted many items at My Pink Boutique that you'll want to take a peek. So check it out! :)

Boutiques and Shops

This weekend I had a chance to visit one of the boutiques that purchases items from Noelle Garrett Designs and myself, Meadow Street. It is the closest store I sell to, most are out of state or really far away. Our items are are purchased for the store Serendipity by Cheryl Johannes of Casual Cottage Chic. Cheryl also has a web site that features many of her own beautiful handmade items and unique vintage finds.

Carrie (Noelle Garrett Designs) has amazing talent! Her items sell really quickly! I can see why, her work is amazing! I was also able to find some really unique items to use for display at the show.

Well, it's a little over a month until the show. We are all busy making final decisions on display and samples. I am also fine tuning new graphics for my site as well as packaging. It is a lot of work, I wish Santa would send me a few of his elves to help!

A Sneak Peek

I know we all have been hard at work preparing our lines for market and I just wanted to take a moment to share a little peek at just a few of the new journals in my spring collection.

The first two are Vintage Wallpaper and actually come in three color choices, two of which are shown here.

This one is Paris Couture.
The final one here is Vintage Floral.
We will have a variety of tags, garlands and spring tussie mussies as well, all to debut in January. We hope to see you there!

I just wanted to give you a little update on our market preparations.
We have all been working getting our lines ready to go which is very exciting !

One of the things we are doing in between working on products is trying to
figure out what to decorate our booth with. We want it to have a Cottage feel and are each finding things that will display our products as well as keep to this look.

As we have been out and about over the few weeks we have found things and created things that will be just perfect.
These are just some ideas of items that we love and think about using but know
that the booth is not huge so we can't bring everything.

Hi,
I am Lori from Katies Rose Cottage and I just wanted to tell you a little bit about me
and my business ~
I have always been a girly girl loving anything pink, roses, lacy and feminine ~
The cottage style is a style that I just adore ~
Cottage style for
me would be light colors, lace, soft and fluffy, chippy and time worn ~
My website reflects this look and feel ~

These are charms I have now but....
will be debuting a whole new line of charms and jewelry that I cannot wait
to show you ~~


I am so very excited to display at the Gift Show in Dallas with some wonderfully talented and sweet women ~
