I recently visited Norridge for a Trunk Show that was a lot of fun. The sign makes me think of The Wedding Singer. It was my biggest display table yet, so I had to take two shots to get it all in. Fellow Network of Entrepreneurial Women member Marianne was there with Melaleuca and her […]

“There is no royal flower-strewn path to success. And if there is, I have not found it f or if I have accomplished anything in life it is because I have been willing to work hard. Perseverance is my motto.” ~ Madame C.J. Walker Women’s History Month has come to a close, but women continue […]
Last week I hunkered down and got my 2013 bookkeeping in order. Taxes have a way of doing that, don’t they? I had finally gotten around to purchasing accordion envelopes to get my receipts situated, and that system works like a charm. 2013 was easy to sort out through its compartments and then put in […]
Last month I had an inspiring online marketing consultation with NetworkHoncho.com that is energizing me to get my rear in gear. So I’ve been sifting through my Etsy listings to see what is at Stella and Aurora Rose Boutiques and what can be re-listed, needs uploading, or might be donated to a good cause. My […]
Last year on this date I discovered a quaint new town just an hour from my home. I took the scenic route of Lakeshore Drive to I-55 to exit Lemont Road, where a lovely vista greeted me as I entered town. The purpose was to meet Kim and Amber Peters, and as I entered their […]
I picked up some inspiring books from the yarn-bombed library the other day, and that prompted me to head into my studio and clear some things out. My studio had become a chaos of Holiday production followed by the dump site of all my fair display items. Creating 43 Ornaments and 35 pieces of jewelry […]
Last Wednesday NEW visited Salon Four 14 for some pre-Galentine’s Day pampering. It was sunny day and the temperature had increased significantly, making us all giddy with joy. Co-Founder Karen had brought a 12-pack of cupcakes from The Sugar Path as well as some chocolate. We toured the cozy space owned by Heather Haftl, and […]

On Wednesday, February 12 our Meet & Munch will feature nurturing connections and sneak peeks of spa treatments at Salon Four 14. Salon Four 14 is a Paul Mitchell focused hair salon that offers a relaxing, […]
This week I picked the warmest and sunniest day to make my way to Aurora Rose Boutique in Lemont and freshen up my inventory (look for the earring and pendant sets next time you’re there). It was nice to come out of hibernation and be inspired by the creativity of the other 40+ vendors who […]
