October Specials and Events

October Special:

We are running a special on our new Recipe boards this month. I love them! I'm always getting my recipes totally jacked up when I cook. I leave them on the counter and inevitably they get yucky with whatever ingredients I'm using. With the Recipe boards, I don't have to worry about messing up my recipes, and its versatile enough to fit my small 4 x 6 cards, or a full 8 x 11 sheet of paper. They are not only totally stylish, but they are a solution to my problem. I just love that! Its a win-win situation. So, we have them on sale for $16.95 (normally $21.95- an incredible deal!!). This board is featured in an Linen paint, with an antique carmel wash over it. They can be ordered in any paint or vinyl color (My board is black with white letters). Don't forget with the holidays approaching, these will also make really great Christmas gifts. Start thinking now...and while you're thinking about it, don't forget to order your easel too. Our wrought iron easels are classy, and very sturdy.

We've added a few new Fall Seasonal items you need to check out, with more to come, of course! I'm really trying hard to catch up on product entry here. Thanks for your patience as we continue to build our online store. Its been a great learning experience for us!

Events coming up:

*We have our LAST party/open house of the year coming up this week, on Wednesday, here in Sacramento. Thanks to dear sweet Megan for hosting another party/open house for us. She had an eLLeMeNOPea Open House last year, about this same time, which was awesome. Megan has graciously offered to open up her house to my regular customers who didn't get a chance to attend our Open House. So, if you'd like to go to Megan's party this Wednesday the 15th, please email me privately, and I'll get you the info.

*We are looking for a craft fair or holiday expo of some sort to participate in sometime towards the end of November/December, on a Saturday. If you know of any, please drop us an email and share your knowledge with us. Thank you, thank you!
