My apologies?

Hello Divas!
Good Sunday morning to you all! We had a busy day yesterday at the fair, met some great people and sold some great product, too.

Tre & I noticed that we may be getting too "big" for these smaller fairs--and I don't mean our waist-sizes though Tre did make a nasty comment about my underwear, which I won't go into here--and we should probably make the final transition to the larger fairs this year.

This is sort of sad, but obviously positive, too. Sad because the small church fairs is where we got our start and met some of our best customers. But positive because it means our plan to grow our company is working. We keep saying: "This year is going to be the year!" and I really believe it, too.

Last year I was a wreck (because of various personal issues) and SO very sick from the pregnancy, that it was all I could do to even attend the fairs. Tre held it together on her own. Goddess bless her! I think I slept most of the year away!

But this year is quite a bit different. Even though I've still got issues (when will I not have issues??) and am trying to keep up with a 7 month old, I've been able to at least help Tre in some of this year's plans. We've got a very busy schedule going and we've managed to acquire so many new wholesale accounts already. Plus we have a new eBay store (check it out: http://stores.ebay.com/La-Diva-Bella-LLC) . All in all, we've gotten off to a great start and everything is looking like this will definitely be OUR YEAR!

Anyway....Darling Sis said in my last post that I was ranting, so I thought I'd apologize a little. I sometimes get so darn fired up about something that I do get on my pulpit and I trust you know that this is my opinion only. Plus "opinions are like....." and all that.

Sis said: "Keep the focus on the company and the product!", so that's what I will do (at least most of the time).

The really good thing about working with people that understand you is they don't hold mistakes against you like others do. For example, Tre & I got to bickering yesterday about something stupid and I had to stop and think: "Ya know, I would never be able to do this at a REAL JOB!" And, the fortunate thing, all was forgiven in just a few minutes (even though Darling Sis DOES repeat herself when she is trying to make a point). LOL..had to sneak that in there. Forgive me, Tre.

Anyway, today is more or less a rest day for us. I've got a baby shower to attend and Tre is taking some much needed rest. However we do have a BIG week coming up, which includes Diva Day on Saturday at the Crows Corner Gift Shoppe and the MayFair Celebration in downtown Harvard Square (a huge event and our first outdoor one this year)on Sunday.

Two VERY different events in the same weekend! So, depending on if you like small, intimate affairs (Diva Day) or huge, hoards of people times--we've got it going on next week. Whew, good thing we are flexible (even if some people have accused us otherwise! Was that a rant? So sorry!)

Moving on.... Please visit us and MAKE sure you tell me (I'm the younger one) that you enjoy my blog. Obviously, I need the encouragement! :)

Have a restful day, Darling Divas!
