I support you
The thing is, I might be begging for sales because I’m strapped for cash, but I also give back to the community. And by community, I also mean the small and independent business community. I have bought items from @Marica0701 (I should really take a picture of me with that gorgeous necklace) and @LKJSlain, whom I have also traded with. Both of them are having sales right now, and I only hope that I can buy a few things that I want before the items are gone.
Also, there are a few things that I’ve bought from other people to support them. One of these is Singing Tall Grass. Her items are AMAZING. She makes organic body care products, and she has deals often. I’ve gotten her lip balm in which you can mix your own concoction. Mine was Vanilla and Apple and it’s awesome. I will never buy any other lip balm again. It makes my lips feel very smooth. She also added a bath tea bag with my lip balm, and that was awesome as well. I just traded with her for a couple candles for her daughter’s birthday (I also added a little something extra
and I will be getting organic shampoo with coconut scent and another lip balm, orange spice. I’m so excited!! I would definitely recommend that you check out her Etsy page.
In this picture is the lip balm and the bath tea bag on the left. Items that I bought from Don’t Tread On Meme are also pictured because they arrived in the mail on the same day. You can check out Don’t Tread On Meme HERE. They sell dime cards, which can be used as alternative currency. Dimes made before 1965 were made from 90% silver, so these dimes are actually worth more than $.10. They are currently worth $2.35 each. As the value of silver goes up, so does the worth of these dimes.
There is also Stateless Sweets, and oh my goodness…she makes the most delicious caramels I have ever tasted. I want more, so bad. She also makes some very delicious fudge. I didn’t take any photos when I received my order, because I started eating caramels right away O.O My next order I will definitely have to take a photo of the deliciousness, which might be soon. She just started making some new salted caramels, and I would love to try them. I also want to try the cinnamon caramels…and now my mouth is watering for some sweet goodness…
I have been very content with my dealings with these individuals, and I would rather go to them rather than buying these items at a corporation. If you have something you sell and I’m interested in, I would rather buy from you. I support you as a small business owner or as an independent person trying to make your own living, and I would hope that others return that favor. Corporatism is killing our country, and I think it’s time that people started supporting local and independent business again.

You’re AMAZING~
LOVE YOU GIRL!
We have to do a trade or something again sometime soon!
I’m glad you support independent. All I can sell you is my loving. And that is frowned upon.
OMG you’ve bought dime cards and planning on buying from Stateless Sweets, I just bought a pound of fudge today, Jillian rocks BTW. I guess it’s time to buy some candles.
I can teach chess.
@LKJSlain - You’re amazing and I love you too…and anytime you’d like to trade, just let me know!!
@Thatslifekid - Haha!! Indeed!
@FreemarketKev - :D I got your order, thank you! I sent you a refund for the 50% off shipping sale, and I will get this ready to ship for tomorrow morning =] And yeah, Jillian is pretty awesome, and she really makes some killer sweets.
@RulerofMasons - That’s awesome, I don’t know how to play chess.
@crazy2love - wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I have bought from LKJSlain, and I also encourage people to buy from friends instead of big corporate stores. If I can, I will buy from you soon. Luck and love to you!!!
Sadly, I haven’t bought from any of these fine people due to lack of funds. However, LKJ did make me a lovely necklace as a birthday gift
those dimes are awesome, I’ve been collecting them and old quarters.
I don’t blame you for begging for sales. I’ve been reposting my post with items I have for sale in hopes of someone buying. I think it’s just what you have to do until your business really starts going.
I was looking at your etsy store and I like your candles. The Dragon Blood candle looks interesting. I’ll admit it caught my eye because it said Dragon and I love Dragons lol
If you post anymore about your business, I’ll rec it and hopefully someone will buy from you.
@crazy2love - When I first saw something about a refund in my inbox I thought the order got cancelled, but I was relieved to see it was just for S&H.
Yeah, I’m uber slow to respond, so many blogs filling up in my browser tabs xD
Thanks for the shout-out! I really want to get some more candles, but I need to see my PayPal balance.
@FreemarketKev - Ha, yeah, sorry! Hopefully it gets to you soon..I have no idea if there’s any postal delays in your area due to the storm =] And, I totally understand your username now, now that I know you like Jillian and dime cards, lol!
@Marica0701 - If you order on or before Friday you get 1/2 off shipping
And you’re welcome dear =]
