Something new to try

Hi! Someone recommended that I start a blog - so here goes :-) I'm at stay-at-home Mom to three young kids. My oldest boy just turned 4 this summer, my middle son will turn 3 this month, and my youngest (who's a girl) turned 1 this summer. Life is a bit crazy, but it's fun. This summer while searching for my daughter's 1st birthday present, I came across the Lulu bracelet by Simply Tiffany Taite. I was wanting to get her something special/of sentimental value and asked all of my friends what I should get. The overwhelming response was jewelry. So anyway, I found the Lulu bracelet & fell in love with it. It's got gorgeous genuine pearls & they're hand knotted between each pearl - just beautiful. So I bought her the bracelet (it was a big hit, BTW) and got curious to see what else Simply Tiffany Taite offered. I checked out their website - they're a wholesaler & previously only worked with boutiques, Neimans & Nordstrom. They had this frame that I thought was just stunning - 4x6 creamy white (they call it "pearlized") frame that has pearls outlined by silver scattered all over it. Just incredible! So I looked online & tried to find it and nobody was carrying it. It's virtually impossible for me to get out & shop with my young crew, so I started thinking - if I'm having this much trouble finding this product, I wonder if other people are in my situation. So then the wheels started churning & after several days of deliberation I decided to approach the company & see if I could be a retailer for them exclusively online. I had prviously had ZERO intention of starting my own business, but sometimes things just stick & this was one of those. I decided to use eBay because 1) I'm a huge eBayer myself and 2) I didn't have the budget/knowledge to build & manage a website on my own & I wanted to see if other people would be interested. So now, about 1.5 months later I've got an eBay store called Simply Lovely Gifts at www.simplylovelygifts.com and have lots of gorgeous stuff. The bracelets, necklaces, jewelry boxes & rattles are all doing great. I'm still waiting for someone to take interest in & buy the frame that got this all started. My friend has already told me she's buying herself one for Christmas :-) Can't wait until someone finally orders that and I get their reaction. And I'll be getting one for my daughter or maybe myself, too!! So now in addition to taking care of my 3 wonderful kids, I'm a WAHM! Wow!!! This will hopefully be a fun adventure!
