As the whirlwind continues…

Since our last report, Bazangles finished a proposal for the Reigning Catz and Dogz website project.  Johanna loved our creations; we are now in the execution stages of photographing the items for her website and deciding how to handle sales when they come in.  

The Barn Festival in Hastings sounds like it was a huge success, and I’m headed over there to get our inventory.  Hopefully, they liked the new pumpkins Karen created.

 

Burchell’s White Hill Farmhouse Inn hosted their small quilting retreat, and we featured a quilting-themed line of magnets and pins from Bazangles. Reports were ‘the ladies loved them.’   We are still trying to find a vendor to showcase these quilting items and our buttons at the Threads Across Nebraska Conference in October. 

 

The Regional Library Association Conference in LaVista went well - we are prepared gifts for five gift basket giveaways besides the Bazangles inventory specialized with the education/librarian theme.  

 

The Holiday Splendor Craft and Trade Show will be on November 10^th_, and applications and phone calls continue to come in. 

 

Still on the front burner is creating a catalog and the related items to go in it as was requested by Wild Birds Unlimited, a national franchise of 270 stores.  If they like what we create, they will add our items to their shopping cart for all their stores. 

 

I’m creating, Suzette’s making and Karen’s photographing the items and putting them in a catalog as we speak. 

 

I’m also creating 20 nametags for Alternatives to Family Violence from Commerce City, Colorado.  With so many irons in the fire, we continue to try and keep it all straight.

 

The Development office and the Beads in a Box room remains in a whirlwind!  

 

Tootles for now, Kyla
