A January business update

Okay, I'm ready to give you an update on my business according to what I know of the future myself.

Cherche' inventory is still at The Queen Bee in Towne Center, but I am no longer with Cozi. Please still shop there in the LD Interiors store; great girls, great items.

Recently, The Queen Bee gained new ownership, so my time there may be limited due to their buying new inventory such as jewelry lines, but my future looks secure there through spring. I am okay with this, but I just want to keep you posted. The pieces there are chunky, show-stopping, items like crystals and bangles. If that's your thing, check out The Queen Bee!

I am currently working with the sweetest girl who's helping me update my blog to a new design. I'll be having a .com soon, so I'll let you know when my blog address changes.

I have an Etsy store but need to get it up and running. It's hanging over my head, and I really need to tackle that. I figure not too many folks are buying jewelry in January. But I could be wrong, so I'll add items to my shop to test the waters anyway.

Oh, I'm pregnant. Maybe that's why I haven't gotten around to my Etsy store and blogging?? Nah, that's not a good excuse. I felt great through my first trimester. No excuses there. But I am pregnant, so I'll have to figure how to run a business with a baby. Any suggestions on taking babies to auctions?

I am meeting with one of the best in the business this afternoon: the antique jewelry business, that is. I am so thrilled and honored that she would take some time out to meet with me. I made her some madeleine cakes as a thank you, but my baking skills stink. I don't measure right or perform the steps in the correct order. Baking and math make me angry; it's too precise. So it'll just be little ol' me, trying to charm her to be my mentor, sans madeleine cakes.

I'll keep you posted on that meeting.

One more big piece of news, almost topping the baby news, I'm going to France in April! I can hardly wait. It'll be me, mom, mom's friend, and a sister. We have yet to book our flight, but it should be within the next few weeks. Think of all the antique jewelry there's to be had in France. Oh-la-freaking-la!
