Next week Creative Women is having an After Party (after our holiday sale) to thank some of the people in Vermont who have helped me start, stay with, and grow Creative Women. It was fun putting the guest list together and realizing how many people have been part of Creative Women. To them ... thanks.
Along the way (from beginning days until today) there's another group of supporters who have talked me through tough times, given me ideas/feedback (not always exactly what I've wanted to hear), even had enough faith in me, that they've asked me for feedback. That's great for the ego when someone you respect asks you for help. Can't invite all of you to our After Party, because you don't live around here, but thanks for all your time.
Today, I've been thinking about the media, and how much they have supported Creative Women. In the past week, three different magazines have featured us on their pages or sites. Over the years, it's been exciting to see our products selected by stylists with good taste ... and how helpful to our business. So thanks,to all the media who has supported us. You've made a difference to me personally and to Creative Women.
This week; First, Lonny ... an on-line gem. They included us in this month's Gift Guide.

Then, they featured us, along with a number of other elegant objects, in a holiday room setting. Take a look at Lonny.
and see our lovely Ethiopian table runner.
Today, Foam Magazine (from California) emailed to tell me that Creative Women is sharing space with other businesses that "care" in their Holiday Gift Guide. Take a little trip around Foam ...
And finally, Country Business highlighted our Beyond Burlap runner ... a great holiday alternative to the red and green theme.

Thanks media. Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving ... and know that Creative Women thanks you.

NYIGF time again ...
We've mailed our postcards, sent our Eblast, maxed out our marketing budget. Just as I was trying to figure out some new, and inexpensive, way to reach new and old buyers, I got an email from Vianza, a social platform + marketplace for designers, indie retailers, & suppliers to buy, sell, source, & profit –free from geographic limits, asking me if they could interview me and include us on their blog. The media goddess must have sent them to me!
My thanks to Vianza, for the interview and the space on their blog. Take a look, at our story and their concept. Very creative and interesting.
