Starting a Business

About a year ago I embarked on a new mission of starting a retail business named Unique World Trends. I had no idea the work and time that goes into such an ordeal. While my husband and I were living in Japan as missionaries, we had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Thailand. If you have ever been to Thailand you know the beauty of the people, the land and the merchandise. I bought a few purses while there and have received compliments on them daily since back in the USA. After some urging on by my mother, I decided to start importing them to sell. One thing has led to another and now I have a full fledged Internet retail shop selling handmade BAMBOO, SILK, COTTON, and WATER HYACINTH bags. Of course along the way I have added some famous Thai silk scarves and some other trendy things to my shop, but I focus primarily on the Thai products. I like the Thai products because they have unique look and are very high quality merchandise. I have had the opportunity to be a part of several TRADE SHOWS and am still very much learning the ropes of running a business. I would love it if anyone had some helpful advise to pass along...I will keep you posted. I will be hosting a table this weekend in Wilmington, NC at the annual Coastal Living Show.

Easter

I love this time of the year when everything is coming back to life and the weather is warming up. I have spent the last 3 days with my door open all day playing outside with my son. I also love this time of the year because of Easter. Of all the things to come back to life, there is nothing that compares to Jesus Christ being raised back to life 3 days after His death on the cross. WOW...it is only because of this resurrection that I have been forgiven of all my sins and will spend an eternity in heaven when I perish from this life.Becoming a parent has really helped me to begin to understand the sacrifice God gave us when He sent His Son to die for us, so that we may live. What an amazing love. I hope that each of you reading this have accepted the love and gift of Jesus Christ dying on the cross and being raised again to life. Love you all....
