Hey guys! Well... As most of you have probably seen, I have found a definite location for the store! I will be located at 503 North Second Street in Booneville. I am right beside Merle Norman and across from Fred's. This space has worked out great for me!! I am truly grateful that things happen for a reason. This new space fits every aspect of me and my business ten times better!
I am very close to opening date! I will be announcing the date by next week for everyone. Please check Facebook for details (www.facebook.com/spb2011). I will have name brand clothes, shoes, accessories, and more! Spring 2012 orders have began arriving, so lots of NEW items will be in for everyone to browse. Some orders have been delayed or partially shipped, but ALL items will be in soon. I will be receiving shipments between now and all through March. Lots of fall/winter items will be on sale, so make sure you browse those as well!
I hope all of you will be able to visit once Sweet Peace is open! Thanks to everyone for all of your support!

Patience is a Virtue..
Hey guys! Well, it's a brand new year, and I hope all of you are having a great 2012 and had a great Christmas!
My year has started off quite well. I have stuck to two of my resolutions (so far): eating at home more and budgeting (somewhat). As some of you probably know, I love to cook. So i am "budgeting" (I put that in quotations to note that I use that work lightly) weekly, instead of monthly. I believe this is working out better for me; I buy more of what I actually need and less junk. So I am hoping this will work out well this year.
Another 'thing' I am doing this year is using a neat little search engine that I discovered randomly (I think I read it on someone else's blog that I stumbled across on Pinterest). It's called "Swagbucks"--some of you have probably heard of it. All you do is go to swagbucks.com, download the toolbar, and begin searching! With this search engine, you earn "swagbucks" numerous ways: searching, surveys, videos, etc. Once you earn enough swagbucks, you may "cash" them in for gifts. You can land money in your PayPal account, gift cards to Starbucks, shop Amazon, or cash them in for things like a Keurig! So I decided to try this little search engine out; so far, so good! I plan on doing it for a year, and hopefully, I will have enough swagbucks by Christmas to buy gifts or get something really cool--maybe some cash! :) We'll see how it goes!
As for the store, it is still going.. not positive how it's going just yet! I have ran into lots of issues, which is good and bad. The contractors have not been cooperating as they should, and this has delayed me getting into a building more than I expected and thrown detailed plans out the window. I was first told mid-November, then February, but with lack of communication, I have no idea when it might be finished. Which brings me to another decision: continue with this building, contractors, etc. or find a new place? I have pondered this somewhat, but cannot make a definite decision just yet. I am scoping out another space, but not positive it is within my price range. I am supposed to receive an estimate soon, so I guess I will just go from there. But maybe it's just not the right time. Maybe there is a reason things haven't work out like I thought they were. I know it will all work out with time, but it's a little frustrating to have planned around a specific time frame, space, etc., then people not following through with the original plans. But I am still doing fine online (just no room to grow, & with clothes, people want to see it in person and/or try it on), so I am most definitely still going to do that. And I do want to move into a building (to gain potential sales and to have more room in my house!), but I guess it will just have to wait another month or so. It disappoints me that things have veered off course, mainly because I don't want to lose any business relationships or potential customers. But I will keep everyone informed/updated as much as I can! I do appreciate everyone's patience! There's light at the end of the tunnel, somewhere! :) In the meantime, please don't forget to check out the website: http://www.sweetpeaceboutique.com/. 2012 spring lines will be in soon!!
Well, I have come to the end of this long, drawn-out blog post.. I hope all of you have a great week! Any comments, suggestions, advice, words of wisdom, etc. are welcome!! :) Thanks guys! Until next time..
