Heartstrings and Other Business Stuff

Heartstrings and Other Business Ramblings
I was excitedly surprised yesterday when I got my mail to find a new, updated Heartstrings Jewelry catalog. They have many new products, including a great deal of embroidery. Although I'm not sure to when I will exactly get around to uploading it all, I am excited the option is there. Currently, we have about 300 products on www.bluepaisleys.com, with the goal of adding 50 new items each month. That seems like a lot each month, but considering the hunderds I have, I feel like it is never ending (because it isn't and I like it that way :)). In other news, it seems like the nights (or more like mornings) I stay up late plugging away, are the same mornings my precious babies decide they would prefer to get up wayy before the sun is even close to rising (LIKE 5 AM EARLY!). I love them dearly, but my goodness, I need my sleep! I guess I never realized when starting Blue Paisleys how much continuous work would be needed. Let me tell you, it doesn't end when the products get listed! Anyway, I sound like I'm complaining, but really I'm just really loving what I'm doing and where we're heading. I am so blessed and thankful for this opportunity!! With that said, considering midnight is fast approaching, I need to hit the sack, while I pray my kids sleep until at least 7. :)

Here Goes Nothing..

I'm attempting to create a business blog, so I can keep my personal blog as a sole focus on my family and crazy kids. For now, I don't really have a focus or goal with this blog, besides the obvious Blue Paisleys news. I am considering turning this into an advice/help blog as well for those (especially moms) who are looking to start there own online business or website. I knew absolutely nothing going into starting a website and business. It was basically a one day at a time, a lot of searching and many times, a lot of "redoing" and correcting of things I did wrong.
Anyway, we'll see where this leads...

As for Blue Paisleys, we are an online boutique focusing primarily on baby, children and mom-type items. I absolutely LOVE the products I have...almost to the point where I would love to have just one more little baby so I can buy everything!! We are proud to work with a variety of vendors and designers to make our store a one stop shop for necessary indulgences. Our customers are what we work so hard for each day, and we are beyond grateful for their dedication to our small business. If there is anything we can do, if you have any questions, or would even be interested in us listing your stylish, high end products, please do not hesitate to contact us!! We are beyond blessed and grateful for this opportunity with www.bluepaisleys.com!!
