In preparation for my annual road trip to California with my girls - we'll be there 1 week from today! - I wanted to get a couple of gifts for my two best girlfriends we always stay with. Both of their birthdays are in August :)
Our lovely, creative, wonderful friend Susan of Mugwump, has a booth at the Saturday Market, and I wanted to buy her bags as gifts for my girlfriends. Susan creates bags, wallets, totes and other accessories out of reclaimed/recycled materials like; discarded game boards, hardback books, record album covers, vinyl banners...so cool! Just look at how cute they are.
And in talking with Susan, I finally got up the nerve to commit and buy the domain for SweetPotatoMayas.
I know it makes business sense, and it's one the first things small business owners should do. But I hadn't done it yet because it didn't feel right to me. My logic was; I have no business adding onto my expenses, when I'm basically selling just enough pies, to cover my expenses. (But you know I couldn't be happier, and I feel very grateful that I get to do what I love!)
But, I guess you gotta spend a little, if you wanna keep up with the rest of the world and give your little business a surviving chance! So thank you Susan, for setting me straight, and for the beautiful bags I get to gift to my girlfriends in Cali :)
