Notes from the Boss Babe

We are coming up to the end of our second year at 36th and Harvard.  We have enjoyed our new location,our neighbors here and the visibility that the stop light offers us as people wait until the lights turn green.

We have also had fun with the folks who come into the store thinking it is our old space at 38th and Harvard and look around in disbelief.  Some come straight out and say YOU CHANGED THE STORE!!.  By the look on some other folks' faces we know that they are confused and lost and when we tell them this isn't the old store, they sheepishly grin and apologize for not realizing that they hadn't visited us in a year or two!!

This new space has given us the opportunity to offer merchandise which we love, which has been with us for years, promoted by a few sales reps who know us well and not have to worry about filling up space.  That can be a real problem for retailers....buying merchandise which is slow as Heinz ketchup.

What do we have planned, you ask?  Well, there will be more events as we approach the Fall.  We will bring in another Artisan Show from Trollbeads, we are holding Birthday Day Parties in the store, and of course, we will let loose with our annual Holiday Party in November.  In a few weeks we will offer our Summer Sale, an annual July event, but this time, inside where the a/c makes it comfortable for all of us.

We have acquired more local artists and merchandise...we like boosting our community and our state.  We are calling ourselves THE HOME OF THE OKLAHOMA BASKET because we carry select Oklahoma products and actually have hand made baskets in the shape of our state.

As always, we are THE HAPPY PLACE and we even sell a garden flag which says that!!  How can anyone be unhappy in a store filled with gifts, jewelry, candy and fun people??

My favorite product right now is the metal cards and magnets which are called SHE INSPIRES.  I love the magnet with BOSS BABE on it (once I had Sabrina tell me what that meant!!).  So this Boss Babe is signing off for now.  Hope to see you soon in our HAPPY PLACE.
