Small Business Saturday - Some of My Favorite Things!

11/19/2012

6 Comments

 
I am a big fan of small businesses. I am a huge fan of small artisan businesses. Could be because I am one myself. I know how hard these artisans work in every aspect of their business. From marketing, to social media, to bookkeeping. Sometimes I don't know how we manage to create the product we so love creating! 


In a show of support, a group of us small business artists have banded together to participate in some special promotions on Small Business Saturday, November 24. We are working to promote not only ourselves, but eachother as well. Group support is a wonderful thing! 


I have put together a list of one of my favorite things from each shop to feature. It was not easy! I hope you enjoy them and check out their shops!


On November 24th and 25th, you can visit any of these shops and use the code WARMANDFUZZY for 15% off your purchase! So get stay in your pajamas, grab your Christmas list and a cup of coffee (or tea) and help support these small business artists!


And don't forget to shop Rosy Toes Designs! I'm participating in the WARMANDFUZZY sale too!



Some of my favorite things!

These Boho Baby Earings by SariBlue would look great with a pair of jeans, and are feminine and sexy. They were also gifted to celebs at GBK's Gift Lounge at the 2012 MTV Awards and featured in LA Weekly's Best of 2012. They are going on my Christmas list!
