CAMO ROSES FOR FATHER'S DAY!!

They're here!!!

Long Stem Roses

New arrival in my Etsy Store! Baby ribbon roses bouquets!

 

Check out my new vintage style ribbon rose bouquets !!

 

My long stem roses are Eco-Friendly! They are not cheaply made products produce by poorly paid workers in a third world country. These beautiful roses are made right here in the US!

I was fortunate enough to purchase the E-book by Claire Mesa, "How to Start Your Own Business Selling Roses in Nightclubs and Other Rose Selling Ventures". In this book she states, "So you'd like to sell roses? A good first step is to scope out the nightclubs, restaurants and sports bars in the area."
I did this for several years in the town I live in and was quite successful. I sold my roses and later added fresh roses so my customers could have a choice of both fresh and "faux". What's nice about my roses is that they come in many colors, unlike the fresh, I can offer a customer a royal blue or bright purple rose!

One of the bars in my city was a Country and Western bar where the truckers would congregate, and they turned out to be my best customers! So truckstops are another great place to sell roses. Claire also suggests in her book to practice going into the smaller establishments first, introduce yourself and give them a rose, and ask them if it's ok to sell your roses in their bar. They seldom mind if you are cheerful and polite. Check the link below: "Wholesale Long Stem Roses" on how to purchase roses for your business! She states, " The larger nightclubs, you'll want to see the manager and be more formal. This little exercise of going out with your flowers will help you get to know if this is a good area and if there is somebody already selling in the better places.

I love the rich pastel colors!

Mannequin Makeover Jewelry Display

      

 I found her at a garage sale for $7.00. I wanted to keep the old glue on as it gave my display an "antiqued" effect!

She was pretty rough when I found her, it was obvious she was damaged by water as I could see old foam peeking out from under her black covering

Gradually, I used a knife to scape it off and I was surprised to see a nice plastic form underneath her torso

This mannequin makes the perfect display to take pictures of my vintage jewelry
