Here's a few additions I dropped off at the shops last week...The top three went to Korazon Organics, and the bottom two went to B on Main!

I had great news when I dropped my stuff off at B on Main...My first onesie had been sold the day after I dropped them off!

It's official!!!

These are the clothing tags I made.

My onesie lines have been officially accepted by two amazing boutiques! They are both on Main Street in downtown Ventura, and different lines are offered at the two shops...

I have had an absolutely pleasurable experience establishing a rapport with both shop owners, and they have helped me to see the ins and outs of bringing my product to the public!

I am so thankful God has paved the way, and please to pray that He will give me the creativity and the means to continue!

Check out the sites or even meander on over to their shops and browse!

no kooks (this was upon the store owner's request) and it's very cute. "no kooks" means no dummies in the water.

Well, I stepped out. I hit three boutiques that I had been meaning to show my lines to. I met with the most promising one first, and was so encouraged by the feedback! I am not going to share the names of the boutiques until my stuff is finally in them, but I do have to say that I walked away so encouraged! It was difficult stepping out and trying to market myself, but I prayed as I walked in the stores that God would bless my pursuit and that He would make my path clear. The feedback I received was perfect. When the owner of the first boutique reviewed my lines, she basically asked me to create more surf line and that she would exclusively sell my surf line through her shop. (Her shop is my favorite on Main Street.) I was ecstatic! I left, feeling encouraged, and sat down last night and pounded out a bunch of onesies just for her shop! I am almost done with it, and I will bring it in and finalize the plan with her in the next few days! Be looking for some news!

My biz cards!

Alright, this makes it more official!

Little by little

I've been working on all my products for Rooted, and I found that even the littlest things matter! I made my first etsy sale last week, and as I packaged my first sale, I put 100% into the appearance of the package. The way that my products arrive to my clients is absolutely of importance! It is like receiving a present in the mail, unwrapped and without a card to give explanation! I don't have a picture of the final package, but I do have a picture of the preparation going into it! I loved every minute of it!
