5 Days to Launch!

The countdown is on till my very first jewelry show. I sent out many evites, I posted the invitation on facebook, now I need to get on the phone... that is the hardest part. In general the response to stella & dot has been positive. My closest friends have been very supportive of my selling jewelry in general, but seem most excited about seeing my own designs. The Friday morning show idea however is not really working out. Most of the people I can count on to show up to something like this can't make it, so we'll see. I am wishing I had planned my launch on a Sunday, or maybe even a Friday night, hind sight is 20/20. I will forge on! I will call friends, and book shows. I may even plan another hostess preview at my home, at a more convenient time. Anything worth having requires a little elbow grease, right! If you are someone who would like to come take a look, but can't make it Friday morning, I hope you'll take a look at the Spring Line on my E Boutique, http://www.stelladot.com//victoriarhodes

If you are more interested in my handmade line, there are pics on the jewelry design tab of this blog. Have a great week everyone!

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer.  I thank all of you who give us encouragement.  I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do.  I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day.  Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved.  Have an awesome day friends. And.....on a side note.... Go Viewpoint Patriots!!! We are in the playoffs! Wooo Hoooooo!

MCI, Hunt Valley Reunion- Wish I could join you!

The company where I had my very first "real" job, MCI Telecommunications in Hunt Valley, MD, is having a reunion soon. It is so awesome that these folks who worked together so long ago still get together. These were first careers for many of us, straight out of college. I made so many good friends there. I lost one of my closest friends a few years back to cancer (The gorgeous, smiling, and good hearted Colleen Farley), and I credit that crazy job at MCI with bringing her into my life. I met my husband because a fellow MCI'er (My dear old friend Terri Weis), thought we would make a good match and introduced us. One of my oldest friends and mentors, who I had the pleasure of working with many years after MCI as well, (Terri Nimmons) just this week, wrote me reference that almost made me cry. There are people that I am not in touch with still, that had such impact on me in those early years of my professional life. I think of them fondly. I met these folks between 1990-1995...
