Jangle Sisters Jewels ~ Around Town

Had a wonderful time at the Lovalicious Women's Business Trade Show Event at the Airlane Travelodge Hotel Saturday April 16th. There were plenty of visitors to our booth and I had special a visit from my friend Albert who is the owner of Social Marketing Performance. He did a simple ad style video of me at the event. Great Job! This was not easy to do with all the activity around us. We are getting a great response to our bracelets and compliments on how beautiful they are with the added comment that our customers are happy with the reasonable pricing.

Dog Gone..and almost us too!

Finally get to blog a bit about my other world and hobby, the dog world.
An epic journey it was to the Dachshund National Show 800 miles away..better known as the Federation Dachshund Clubs of Canada the last weekend of October.
It was a rainy and windy morning as Serena (another dachshund mom) and I set out in her new wienermobile..(camper trailer). We passed the time listening to some music and chatting about what might happen ahead at the shows. We were the circus troop with 8 dachshunds along for the ride. One of them was my Tori, he is a young dachshund only one point away from his Canadian Championship title.
On our way down and ten minutes out of North Bay Ontario we had a meeting with a transport truck. He rubbed us with his trailer and took off Serena's driver side extra mirror and bumped along the camper trailer taking out a side light, a window and smashing up the front edge. He was long gone, and while it happened so quickly we were unable to identify the truck. I called 911 and the police set up a meeting place for us as we were still mobile and also a road block.
We stopped at a truck stop and I purchased some duct tape and the girl at the front counter gave us some cardboard. That was used to secure the window and we were back in business. The police never did catch up with that transport truck. All I can say is we are so lucky it was only a minor incident any more force from a large truck like that could have sent us off the road and into the rocks. Serena decided that the whole ordeal made us feel a bit like "National Lampoon's Vacation" meets "Best in Show." It was great to find a bit of humour in that near tragic incident. I also found myself grasping at my knees with my white knuckles everytime a transport went by us from that ugly moment forward.



The next morning was a fairly easy drive to the Trillium Dog Show in Lindsey Ontario which happened to be hosting an extra three Specialties for hounds and dachshunds. I was pleased to see many old faces from my years as a dachshund exibitor. Great also to see Bernard the breeder of my dog Tori. The entries were great and the quality of the dogs was also very good. We had a nice area set up just for the dachshund clubs and it was a busy area with lots of interesting people and their dogs.
I always keep my eyes open at the vendors for cool and unique items. We were lucky to have a dachshund ways and means table as well. So I did a bit of shopping there. At the DCGO Specialty we were given a choice of swag The little pins and necklaces were so colourful and cool and made of polymer clay.

I love dachshund swag!
The next few days we managed to do some nice winning with our dogs. I won't go on about all the wins but we cleaned up and Tori my dog became a Canadian Champion. His sister and sire did very well too!!

It was a sensational weekend with the troops and we couldn't have asked for a better outcome after the long journey and the transport incident behind us.
I love traveling to the dog shows away from home. It really can be very exciting and challenging too. Can't wait until the next one. Tally Ho!!!!

Think Pink ~Bling My Bra & CIBC Run for the Cure

October is "Think Pink" month. I am just so happy when I contribute to what is good in this world. Yesterday I drove down to the USA border to mail out a bra ~ Yes, a bra. The one in the photo that will be auctioned off on eBay for the cause. http://stores.ebay.com/Bling-My-Bra-Fundraising-Charity Starting Oct 1st
I found out about this worthy cause called "Bling My Bra" through friends from eBay in support of a cure for breast cancer. This is a great opportunity for me to do something for a worthy cause and it was so appropriate as I am in the "bling" business.
My blingy bra has some of our European styled (Pandora) beads on it and some other surprises. I hope it brings in a good amount of bids.
This is one of my favorite charities so I also made up a a themed bracelet for the CIBC Run for the Cure, in Thunder Bay. This bracelet will be presented to the woman who crosses the finish line first that has battled or has breast cancer. I am very honoured to provide this bracelet as the prize. This is our second year providing a bracelet towards this great event.


We are on the road this week with a special visit to Dryden, Ontario for an Art and Handcrafter's Event at their Curling Club. I look forward to meeting some of my customers there. I will be traveling there with my friend Michelle from Bee23 http://www.bee23.ca/ who has blogged about events through the summer as we worked at markets. You can read her blog at http://feelthebee.blogspot.com/
She has posted some fun photos of me enjoying the fresh air. That is why I love my Jangle Sisters Jewels business. I truly enjoy the people and the excellent events and festivals that I attend. There is also nothing that makes me happier than positive feedback from my customers. You can read some of my feedback at my store located at http://www.janglesistersjewels.com.

In failure keep my faith,
In success keep me humble.
Steady me to do the full share of my work.
and more, as well as I can, and when that is done,
stop me, pay me what wages Thou wilt, and permit
me to say, from a loving heart....a grateful Amen.
