Fighting the Stock Show Crud...


Well hello SJ followers.....

Since our last blog, Tanner (my boyfriend) and I have successfully survived 2 trips to the San Antonio Stock Show. So, yes, that makes 5 weekends in a row to stock shows (3 trips to FW and 2 to SA). I can honestly say that I am glad we are home and have a few weeks before we travel out to the Houston Livestock Show at the beginning of March. Then, soon after we will have our booth at the Star of Texas Livestock Show in Austin, TX. We are so excited!

Of course, with the nasty weather and all of the barns and stock show animals, both Tanner and I have been fighting getting sick. Tanner is laid up as we speak with quite the fever and sinus infection. I believe I am finally over my sickness, which is great! There's no time for rest when I am trying to run my own business and please all of my fabulous customers!

In between all of our trips to and from the stock shows, of course we are focusing on SJ. Almost all of our goodies from our Denver Market trip have come in. So now, what was once just a hobby of stringing beads, we have multiple items for sale. Of course, we still are focusing mainly on the unique and funky jewelry we love to create, but be sure to check out our accessories, caps, and apparel. Also, our newest metal cut-out pendants are absolutely stunning, BUT they are also top of the line in terms of quality. They are all hand cut-out and all of the crystals are sauntered on instead of glued, so no need to worry about wear and tear anymore! They are updated on our facebook page and will soon be on our website as well.

Also, from our last post, we are VERY close to our first ever give-a-way. When we reach 4,000 fans on FB we are giving away our most popular piece, the White Nuggets with Offside White Cross which retails for $45.00. I believe we are only a little over 100 fans away! There will be one very happy "Southern Jewlz Fan" within the week! We can't wait!

Also, I want to take this time to give a shout out to the fabulous ladies at Ranch House Designs. For those of you do not know, they are the designers of the SJ website and the very small amount of SJ ads that we run at this point. Feel free to check out their work at www.ranchhousedesigns.com. What I love most about their business, is the fact that they are owned and operated by Rachel Williams and her sister Catherine. They are very young, talented, successful, business-focused ladies that are true inspirations to myself. Here is the most recent print ad they designed for us! We love it and hope you will too! Happy weekend to all! =)
