Retailgirl

Welcome to the new Retailgirl Blog

So I thought I would start out with a bit of a story about me and how retailgirl came about.

My name is Louise de Lore and about 3 years ago my life changed forever.  My wee world came crumbling down and after the dust settled I didn't know what I was going to do.
So as you do when everything changes you pop on your PJ's and watch youtube,  then you watch some more youtube, then you think hey I can do that.  Next thing you are signing up to do swaps and making all sorts of crazy things you had no idea you could do.
The problem I had is that everything I wanted was in America or way to over priced in New Zealand.  Making a simple swap was costing a fortune.  So I did something about it.
I started out making ribbon roses and then selling flatback pearls.  I had my glue gun a pair of scissors some ribbon and about a shoe box (I still have the shoe box) full of other goodies.
I wanted everyone who was kind enough to support my endeavours to feel the way I do when I get a swap  from a friend.  So I loving wrap each purchase in pink tissue and decorate each parcel.  You may notice if you have purchased off me on trade me that sometimes your parcels are filled with lots of extra goodies?  This is my way of spreading the love and kindness that has been shown me.  I just hope that I can bring joy to someones day and maybe somehow that makes the world a better place.
 I don't own a huge scrapbooking shop.  I have a sense of humour.  I am addicted to flatback pearls and chiffon.
That's enough about me for now.  I better introduce you to Retailgirls designer for 2014 Tash and she can tell you about what we are up to.  I feel a giveaway coming on!!

The shoe box that started it all.

Bye for now
Big Hugs
