Georgia Ladies Retreat

This past weekend was Georgia UPCI Ladies Retreat. We raised $124 for Mother's Memorial, which supports missionaries, foreign and in the USA, as well as Tupelo Children's Mansion and New Beginnings. I'm really glad I got to be a part of this, and that I was able to show people what I can do!

Ladies Retreat in general draws a more "mature" audience, and so I was a little disappointed at first with how little business we were doing in comparison to the other booths, but I felt much better after convincing myself that we were the boutique to everyone else's department store... thanks to Alison, Brandon and Matt for helping me get over the sadness! I just have to understand that it's definitely not for everyone. However, I'm glad so many people were able to buy for their younger family members and friends.

We sold a lot of headbands in the end, and I met a lot of cool people:

Terri is in Columbus as well, and she takes denim jeans and makes them into pants. I helped sell at her table, so she is repaying me in love and my own denim jean skirt with a victorian train in the back. When I get it, I'll post some pictures!

Born Again Jeans is the brainchild of Wendy from Fort Oglethorpe. She takes jeans and turns them into adorable skirts with embellishments, fused fabric, ribbon and buttons. I LOVE these skirts and got one in exchange for some wonderful headbands. You can find her on Ebay - user name SkirtLady76 - I think.. I can't remember the numbers!!!

All the other headbands as well as Alison's awesome crotcheted flower pins are online at ilovejesusalotdoyou.etsy.com. BUY THEM!!! :)
