I’m so excited!  The super cute ”Life & Style to You every Friday” blog Seattlepicks featured Moi!  Yes, that’s right my little online accessories boutique is on the front page of Seattlepicks.com.  I am honored and totally stoked!  I love their style.  And they seem to really have their finger on the pulse of Seattle’s shopping, entertainment and local artists connections.  It is so important to support our small local business’ and artists and they put it all together for us every Friday.  What more can we Seattlites ask for, right?  Be sure and take a look today.  OH, Hey! even if you’re not a Seattlite (too bad for you) they feature many wonderful websites that you can browse around in while wearing your bunny slippers, especially katiekay.com.  My featured artist in Seattlepicks today is Heather Lecy’s “It’s Love” sterling bracelet, take a peek, enjoy!

Icing, cake, ACCESSORIZE!

I just ran in from a long day at the SHOP 08 & CRAVE seminar series today at the Seattle Center.  1st of all, let me just say that I went because it advertised professionals speaking about advertising, marketing, promoting and networking your business, especially websites.  I am an optimist (most of the time) and hope I will come away from something like this with just one little tid bit that made it worthwhile.  WELL, I am so pleased to report that they served what they had on the menu.  It was great!  I seriously came away with new direction and inspiration. Their panel members were experts on web design, marketing, advertising, mass email marketing, business networking, PR, and so much more.  I do have to toot my own horn for just a sec though and say I felt a teeny bit superior sitting there in some sessions listening to all their advise, because I have implemented (under the guidance of my GURU, Jill Olkoski of Aldebaran Website Design) 5 out of 6 of the experts suggestions website must haves. Getting your Blog on your site, and using WORDPRESS for it, SEO (I know what that means because of Jill), keywords, incoming links, google ad-words and so much more.  I am very pleased with what I learned today, but if I hadn’t been for (you know who) my GURU, I think some of it could have sounded like Japanese.  I especially want to acknowledge a little owned company here in Edmonds, WA called MYSAVVYSPACE a resource website geared toward non-techie and sorta-techie professionals with a vested financial interest to having a social networking presence. Cool Huh?  They are my next venture.  I really think they can help me build a networking/blogging system that I can maintain myself (without working on it 24/7 and forgetting to eat dinner)and really target my audience. Yippee CRAVE!
