CAJUN COUNTRY

Trunk show in New Iberia, Louisiana.  Cajun Country!! The weekend before Thanksgiving I traveled to my home town and had a trunk show to sell my 100% cotton multi-purpose waterproof designer aprons.

 In order to have a successful event, organization and proper preparation is required. Helen created my address database, Tasha created my invitations, filled containers with aprons, I packed mannequins and a large box with "staging" supplies. Finally, the weekend had arrived. I loaded the back of my SUV. Thank goodness for side mirrors. I felt like the "traveling apron lady".

The night before the show, I spent several hours setting up. I created apron displays in the kitchen, in the living room, and in the dining room. I also created fresh floral arrangements that were placed in selected areas. It was the perfect scene for  Christmas shopping.  On the day of the event, my guests were greeted with a holiday cocktail served by a family member wearing an apron from my collection with Christmas music playing in the background. My trunk show was a huge success.

The days following the event, I received many phone calls from people who had heard about them and from people who were unable to attend on the day of the event. I literaly sold aprons out of my tuck throughout the week.

I am extremely grateful.

SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!

My work day begins very early in the morning and it is non-stop until the evening. Throughout my adult life, I have never experienced such a feeling of passion for a job as I presently feel. Being a wife and a mom goes without saying, of course. That is my absolute ultimate passion.  But, a job? Yes, I can honestly say, it is an incredible feeling. I wake up around 4:30 a.m. , pour a cup of joe, grab my computer, and begin my day. Before I know it, several hours have passed. I have, without a doubt, love what I have accomplished so far. The incredible people that have entered my life as well as some of the faculty and students at the University of Southern Mississippi, THANK YOU!

CRAZY BUSY

The business side of my company has been quite demanding. As a creator, I have been challenged to find the resources to benefit me and make this part enjoyable. I am sure most, creative, people would agree with me. However, I have learned so much!! Starting a small manufacturing company, no matter what the size, dealing with bookkeeping, inventory, and so much more are extremely important. I call this,  the serious side of fun.
