Karen and I returned from taking Bazangles to the American Crafters
and Retailers Expo Wholesale Show in Las Vegas. We have many projects on the front burner for
that including a total makeover of our product line.
As a result of speaking for the Envoys in May,
Bazangles has a new account/fundraiser with a local Philanthropic Education
Organization (PEO). The PEO Chapter IX
just ordered 24 specially designed nametags for their group and will be showing
the fundraising project to the other local chapters and to their state
membership. This has an opportunity to
go national. Keep your fingers crossed!
I
just recently attended the Nebraska School Nurses Conference and sold both BIAB
and Bazangles.
We are waiting for our
order from the Nebraska Historical Society to come in and look forward to those
possibilities.
Throughout the remaining
two months, it is my goal to create some one-of-a-kind pieces for Beads in a
Box to sell in New York at the national conference.
The Nebraska Alzheimer’s Association asked us
to gear up for another season of walks in which to sell their signature
bracelets our volunteers have been creating.
Besides all the new creations for Bazangles,
the Holiday Splendor Craft Show registrations are trickling in. The news is getting out that we run an awesome
craft show! One Omaha business ordered 12 booths for the November show!!
Karen
and Janice are out for a few weeks, and the Development office and the Beads in
a Box room will remain in a whirlwind!
Tootles
for now, Kyla
