Blueberry Buckle

Ok... the truth is out.

I haven't been posting too much lately or really been with it at all, because I am in the middle of a HUGE project! I along with a good friend of mine, Christina are now small business owners. That's right!!! We have started a small business called Blueberry Buckle selling children's boutique clothing at a major discount off of the boutique price and have already sold some things on eBay to get started. We are selling clothes manufactured by Vive La Fete, Inc. We have gotten one shipment in and are awaiting another HUGE shipment of the most adorable smocked and appliqued outfits and outfits ready to be monogrammed. We don't have a building for our business, instead we will be having two to three "shows" per year in my home. One for Spring/Summer, another for Fall and hopefully one for Christmas/Winter. They won't be your typical come look at samples, order from a catalog, pay shipping and handling, wait 4-6 weeks.... kind of shows. They will be "Cash and Carry" shows. Come browse the racks, pay, and take home that day. And the best part is we will be able to take cash, checks and even credit cards.

A girl that I went to high school with and her mother have started a business like this in Spartanburg and I have gotten a lot of clothes for the kids at her shows. I took Christina with me to one and we have been planning on having a business like it ever since that day. That was December 2008 and now it is all finally coming together (after lots of hard work, many sleepless nights and countless hours of planning.)

Our Spring/Summer show will be on May 30th from 10 am - 5 pm here at my house. If you are on my email list you will most likely be getting an invitation this weekend and if by some reason you don't get one, and would like more info please let me know in the comments section. Also, you could forward it on to anyone that you think might be remotely interested or bring them with you!

*The best part of it all is that these boutique clothes are such great quality and hold up so well with wear that I am able to sell them all the next season on eBay and make back at least 75 to 80% of what I paid for them.. Sometimes I have even made back more than I paid for them. It's like renting clothes! So smart!
