My Origami Owl business

I am now in business selling Origami Owl jewelry. No, it's not made of paper :).

I will be doing home parties and my first one is in thanksgiving weekend. Also doing book parties (love those of course)

Yesterday I went to the bank and my teller liked my bracelet so much that she ordered from my website last night. Hopefully that is a sign of success!

Business has been a little slow, but a lady who's a friend of a friend of a friend called me today while I was working on my Suet Cake Presentation for Saturday....and gave me a nice order! :)

July 26th, to be exact. Let me know if you'd like to attend.

And if you can't be there in person but would still like to place an order, you can order here.

These make great Mother's Day gifts, if you're looking for something pretty and slightly different for your mom.

Re: My Origami Owl business

Vent coming on:

sometimes I get so dang discouraged because hardly anyone is buying this stuff from me. My daughter in law had a big party planned and it snowed. My daughter had a party and got only one order.
I am not a hardball salesperson so I don't bug people. Maybe that is my problem. I have writeups in the little community newsletter where I live, catalogs out, cards.

I'm having an open house in June and Metfairy's having a party. After that it's the end of the line unless I get more bookings :(
My husband tells me to keep my chin up because it is not like we need the income.
But I just think it is a sweet product and I wish it would catch on.

End of Vent.

Thank you for listening.

Date Change - we're going to have our party on Columbus Day Weekend - a perfect time for Chanukah and Christmas shopping!

(But cooby's summer party is going strong on June 21st for those of you who have upcoming gift shopping needs.)

Re: My Origami Owl business

Actually I just checked and Sharon's link works too :) It'd credit to her party even this far ahead of time. And orders would come right to the purchaser's house, not hers.

BTW, expect the earliest snowfall ever, lol....

Global warming, ya know!

If it snows on Columbus Day, I am offically moving south.
