It's finally all starting to come together! We started by making some sales on etsy.com/shop/nichellesboutique, our bags and lip balm are now in two different locations (Sixth Avenue Day Spa & Salon and Wildflower Clothing), and I just got word that we might have an order coming through for a couple dozen bags on one purchase...whoohooooo.
This is what it's all about for our business, getting to put together something that you think is adorable and would use personally and then watch the reaction of other people (either good or bad, they both make you stronger). Finally, to see the orders start coming through, proving that you weren't wrong... there are other people out there that will love it too!
On that note... Here's my motto for the day:
If you thought it, someone else already wrote it.
If you want it, someone else already bought it.
If you dream it, do it before someone else does and make it count!

New Year, New Excitement!
I'm sooo excited! I just found out that there is a possibility of "Nichelle's Boutique bags" being sold in an adorable little Maternity/Mother & Daughter Boutique in Eugene, Oregon named "Zippies." It has a very "soho" sort of feel to it and is the perfect companion for the display of our bags. I will keep you all updated as to whether or not this actually happens and exactly where the store is located for those of you who would like to go check it out.
Keep your fingers crossed!

How It All Started
Hello there everyone, this blog is my way of sharing a little bit about the daily workings within Nichelle's Boutique. You'll be able to see what goes on behind the scenes as well new products for sale and even projects in the works. My hope is that this blog will be a good way to open the lines of communication for you as the customer, to be able to give feedback or your thoughts on products available or even ideas for products your would like to see in the future.
Nichelle's Boutique was started in the corner of my dining room after a day of Art's & Crafts with my four niece's and the purchase of my first sewing maching. The feeling that I had after I made my first bag was incredible, that sense of accomplishment from knowing that I had made that bag from start to finish was just unforgetable. Needless to say I didn't stop at just the one bag, I had finally found my niche... that thing that everyone is always looking for in that back of their minds, the one thing that truly makes them feel as though they are playing or having fun instead of working.
I started by making different sizes and styles of bags that I would use and actually testing them out in my everyday life to see if they would really hold up in everyday situations... since I am the proud mother of a 2 1/2 year old boy I figured this was a good endurance test for any size bag I could think of. We packed each bag full of toys, diapers, juice cups, extra juice, books and of course what would normally be in my purse to see if these bags could truly pass the test, and to this day I personally guarantee my bags!
