i just had to pass along this amazing offer from Simply Sarah Shaw.  rarely do i see an actual Money Back Guarantee!  what a vote of confidence in your product  – and a nice thing to do for squirmy retailers not sure about a new product.

i sold hundreds of the Handy Hold Alls at ooma.  they are a great item for displaying handbags – and they make outstanding gifts.  i highly recommend them.

here’s the deal:

order 24 Handy Hold Alls by November 7th (this is a quick promo!) and you’ll get:

 - money back guarantee (yes – actual CASH BACK for any items unsold after January 31st)

 - free black mesh holding bags (value $30)

 - ability to re-order in any quantity for the holidays (yes – even just one!)

check out the video for all the details and order page.  Order quickly!  it’s over by Saturday.

i just adore the line Saffron Rare Threads from San Francisco.  it’s sassy, original, and timeless.  a really great look for the modern working gal (or general chic dresser).  their clothes fit really well and they create a nice mix of tailored looks and sexy jersey numbers.

and they’re celebrating FIVE years in business!  YAY!  i remember when they were just starting and the line just keeps getting better.

buyers:  i’d check them out.  they have a great price point, a great mix of basics and items, and everything is locally made.

shoppers:  they’re having a SALE until November 1st.  Buy 1 Get 1 at 50% off (includes sale items too). Enter the code weare5 when checking out online to enjoy your discount.

Congratulations Saffron Rare Threads!

i’d order these in a nano-heartbeat if i still had my store.  they have some serious WOW factor.  plus – you can custom order most anything in any color to suit the style of your store and the tastes of your clients.  minimum order is only $200.  mention you heard about  m.r.s from the the Proprietress and you’ll score a free pair of rosie tosies (majorly adorable shoe clips).

wholesale pricesare 40% of retail as listed on her site.   enjoy working with miss ruby sue and email her direct to place your order or ask any questions:  missrubysue (at) gmail (dot) com.

voila!  perfect treats for the upcoming holidays.

do you like your colors bright and your patterns wild?  i do.  and that goes double for babies.  they’re such cute patoots – i like to see them dressed in bold attire that matches the attention they already get.  it’s their first opportunity (and certainly not the last) to be a baby star.

which is why i love baby star.  darling line of baby clothes, blankets, bedding, accessories, totes, etc.  and they’re free of all sorts of grody harmful chemicals and such to ensure baby not only looks good, but feels good too.  and they’re designed here in Portland!  yay!

so i wanted to pass on some scrumptious specials they are offering when you place an order for $500 or more (and lord knows you can get a lot of baby booty for $500).  Place your order soon though – it expires September 30, 2009.

• free rock the tote!  (retails for $88 – sell it or keep it for yourself!)
• rick rack dresses for only $12 (merchandise them over long sleeves tees for Fall)
• buy 3 get 1 free (diamond blanket/poodle minis/diaper burbs, quick change, small burps)

contact karen@babystarfor more details, linesheets, order forms and the like.  everything is very design-savvy, modern and fun!

the name conjures up something cool, yet fun:  Feisty Elle.  and the product delivers.  vibrant designs, rich colors and unusual materials make this jewelry line from San Francisco stand out in your jewel case.

the felt line caught my attention – as i’ve never seen anything like it.  the designs are laser cut with modern precision – but in delicate, organic forms.  i think this line would appeal to a broad range of clients – and the prices are lovingly affordable (w/s ranges from $12.5 0 – $18).  not only does Leslie work with felt in amazing new ways – but she also does some cool designs in bamboo too.

not sure about trying a new line?  i know the economy is a toughie – but from a consumer POV – i’m personally always on the look out for something interesting and new.  so try them out!  and guess what – the designer, Leslie Yang,  is graciously waiving her opening order minimum(a reasonable $150) for those who mention “the Proprietress” when placing their order.
