Dainty Button Party and Sweets

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope yours wasn't too rough. It's chilly, rainy and foggy, here in San Francisco. Hasn't made for the most productive day, that's for sure. Well, I'm really excited to just jump in and introduce something really fun. But, first I need to rewind a little and explain the reason for this news, considering it might be in a left field, just a little.

A couple facts about me.

1. I love to decorate.

2. I love to organize and host parties.

3. I absolutely love to bake.

These random facts lead me to last week. My mom and I hosted my sister a baby shower for my nephew, who will be making his arrival this month. So excited! A year and a half ago, I catered for my sister's shower, for my niece, Zoe. It went over very well and kinda landed me a couple holiday catering party gigs, so to speak. Well, my mom and sister asked me to cater again, for my nephew's shower. It was a wonderful break from my daily grind in the headband factory and I remember just how much I absolutely love to bake. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to baking and catering of any kind. I'm huge on presentation and have my little secrets to different recipes. So, I thoroughly enjoyed catering for my nephew's shower. It was a nautical theme and here's a sneak peek...

Lots of fun, with this! Well, after the shower, I had many guests ask me if I catered. Ummm, yes and no. I woke up Friday morning, with a couple emails from random strangers who happened to be referred by guests at the shower, asking about catering and if I would be selling a special treat I had at the party. Cake pops. Yep, the very trendy and yummy treats that Starbucks has made famous. I had a few reservations about this but my friends and family strongly encouraged me over the weekend and I experimented a little bit. I had thought about doing it for those that specifically requested it, but hey, why not add it to my etsy shop? So, I've thought about this a lot over the weekend and have come up with something that I think will work with my little business and not appear to be in left field. If you've followed my business you know that it started off as ladies hair accessories, expanding to little girls, than expanding to a line for men and boys and our recent expansion, our wedding collection. All of these expansions have been a huge success. I've learned to really think ventures through and not just jump on something, just because it sounds fun. So, with a lot of brainstorming, thinking and praying. Yes, I take everything that I do, to the Lord in prayer. I've made the decision to add on a fun little collection.

Dainty Button Party and Sweets

This is mainly sweets, right now. I have included a fun party favor that I used at my nephew's shower and it was a huge hit. So, a little details about the sweets Dainty Button will offer. 

Cake Pops

Yes, this is a huge trend, right now. Yes, everybody's doing. No, my cake pops do not taste like everyone else's or Starbucks, for that matter. That might come off a little braggish, but I'm confident you're going to come back for more. Each cake pop has a theme and is made from scratch. I use the finest and freshest ingredients, a few organic. Dainty Button Cake Pops are fun, yummy and addicting. I am offering these in my etsy shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop/DaintyButton?ref=si_shop, beginning Tuesday, July 12th. They will be available in quantities of a dozen, half a dozen and possibly in pairs. Details, pricing and flavors will be available in each listing. Head on over and scoop you up some! I promise, you're going to love them!

Build a Headband

Happy Tuesday, everyone! This is our first week of our little project, we brainstormed. Build a Headband! This is a fun little project that will be available every Tuesday, as long as it keeps everyone's interest. I'm hoping it does : )

I get a lot of custom order requests and I thought, "why not make this a fun little project?". So, here you go. The opportunity to build your own headband. This week's headband is going to be rather simple, but fun. I thought we'd start off with something a little more low key, to see how everybody likes this project. Ready?

You may already own it or liked it, when it was available in our shop. Earlier this year, I listed this headband...

The San Francisco Headband

Well, this week's "Build a Headband" is going to be similar to this, but you're going to build it!

So, if you're curious as to how this works, I'll fill you in.

Below, I will list the different options you have and how many selections you get with each option. If this week's choice catches your eye. You can either:

1. Comment with your email address below and we will email you an order form to fill out.

Once your order form is complete, we will set up a custom order for you in our etsy shop, if you're already an etsy customer. If not, it's super easy! We can also email you an invoice via paypal. I will say that purchasing through etsy, is much easier for both parties. It allows both parties to track and manage the order, very well. But, again that's your choice : )

Build a Headband and Trunk Shows

Is everybody ready for your Fourth of July weekend? What's everyone's plans? I'm excited about mine! Nice 70 degree weather all weekend, lots of sleeping, eating and good times! And of course, FIREWORKS! Do you watch fireworks and do your own?

Did anybody get a chance to participate in our Customer Appreciation SALE? It's been a wonderful 3 days of savings! Just a little FYI...we are clearancing out our etsy shop throughout July. I will be posting via Facebook, what items will be unlisted each week, to allow you to snag them before they're gone. This will take place throughout July and whatever we have left at the end of July, will be featured in our Christmas in July SALE. Over 80% of our shop will be gone by the end of July. Beginning the end of July, we will slowly start introducing our Back to School/Fall Line, which I'm super excited about. I've been picking up wonderful prints and ideas that I think you and your friends and family will love! Be sure and check it out! 

I've been brainstorming and cooking up a couple projects for my lil' business that I think you will like. We have our Giveaway Friday each week and I'd like to slowly work in an extra little fun. Here's my idea:

Build a Headband

Here's your chance to make your own headband! I'm asked for customized orders all the time and I do my very best to meet each customers needs, but I thought it would be a lot of fun to let you have the experience of picking and choosing what you'd like on your headband. Here's how this project will work:

Each Tuesday, I will post an official Build a Headband blog post. This post will have your options to choose from. There will be several options and the great thing. One price! There will be certain options to choose from, but definitely worth your money! If you like the weekly Build a Headband options, simply comment with your email address and an order form will be sent by the day's end. Simply fill the order form out, email it back to us and we'll set a listing up for you in our etsy shop, or email an invoice your way. It's that easy! Each week will be different. It might be a traditional headband, Jersey Band or an "Its a Wrap". We might throw in an option for shoe clips, even, although that wouldn't necessarily be considered a headband, but why not?! 

Our first Build a Headband post will go up Tuesday, July 5th! Be sure and check it out!

The second little project is something I've thought about for quite some time. I have had several different ladies email me, asking what they needed to do to have a Dainty Button Trunk Show in their area. Well, a lot easier said than done. One, I need a representative that can host a Trunk Show. Two, I need an area that Dainty Button will be well received. My goal is to feature one Trunk Show a month in a different state or area. Are you interested in hosting a Trunk Show? The race is on! We're looking for the perfect individual that would be the "hostess with the mostess". If you think you'd be a great candidate for this, email us at daintybutton@yahoo.com and we'll see what you got! Will your area be the next location for a Dainty Button Trunk Show?

Check back on Tuesday for our Build a Headband post, join us for our GIVEAWAY FRIDAY, tomorrow and I hope everybody has a wonderful Fourth of July weekend! God bless America!
