This is ME!!.....
........ Will it never stop?I do feel much better than I have been, so cough or not, my life will go on!! I have no more time to waste.....much to do!!
For the past several weeks, I have been beating my brains out trying to find my website niche....my focus product, the grabber, so to speak. I am not a crafty person but I was determined that, like so many of my Make Mine Pink friends, I needed something unique and created by my hands to be the focus product. Then I read a blog post written by friend and founder of MMP, Joyce, that said:
"What makes you/your business interesting? What’s your hook? Your appeal?
(example) You sell vintage linens.. You also collect them. You know everything there is to know about vintage tablecloths! That passion and love for what you collect along with your knowledge is what will make you stand out. ANYONE can sell a vintage tablecloth. Being established as an expert is what is going to bring people back to you. Now add that to spectacular customer service.. And you can’t be beat.
What things do you know the most about.. No matter how trivial, that information is of interest to someone. (your niche market)"
Well, DUH!! That, friends, is ME!!! So, beginning right away, Grandma G's will make lovely vintage linens the main focus!! I introduced you all to the Vintage Tablecloth Lovers Club (VTLC) in my last post so you are aware that I do love vintage linens, I am a collector of them and through the VTLC I have gained knowledge in identifying, dating, rating condition and the care and storage of these treasures from the past. My intention is not only to sell vintage tablecloths, tea towels, etc., but to also share the information I have gained over the past 5 years. I want to be the "go to" girl for any and all questions re: vintage linens as well as your source of lovely additions to your home!!
Hang in there with me as I refine ideas, add to and make changes to my Grandma G's website.....I've been sick, remember!!
*****Leave a comment and your name will be added to a random drawing for a Heart-Shaped box of See's Candies.....the BEST in the west!!*****

Sorry you got bitten by that dirty ol' cold rat! The cough seems to linger on forever, long after the sneezing and runny nose stops. Ugh! Hope you're better soon.
I love the idea of your vintage linens. I know lots of people will have questions and how awesome that we will have someone to come to for the answers. Thank you for not only finding your niche, but being able to provide a service that is necessary to so many collectors out there.
OH! I would loooooooooove some yummy chocolate. :)

Georgia, I am right there with you sweet sister. I have the coughing cold as well. Thankfully, the sore throat only lasted for one day. However the cough is lingering on and on and on. Love the music and the beautiful way you write. Have a great day.

Hi! Georgia....I hope you feel better...(())
I love your NICHE! I have some Vintage linens I inherited.. would love to know more..and love SEE'S...Cindy
Georgia - sweet Georgia (that should be a song if it isn't already)! How very sweet, not to mention brave, of you to offer to take any and all questions (I am counting my questions now). I hope it isn't just the cold medication talking! I for one - and I am sure there are many like me - have sent you questions in the past. I can say from those experiences you are definetly cut out to be the Go To Queen of linens! What a terrific - and sweet - resource for those of us suffering from the linen madness. Lucky for us! And good for you! You go girl, god bless and get better soon. Faye W from VTLC
Georgia, I collect vintage tablecloths and I just love the colors of those in your picture.
I'll have to keep mine under lock and key when you come to Chicago in March. :)
I'm glad you found your niche. This is such a great idea!
Hugs,
Christine
Hi Georgia, sorry you've also been bitten. It's been about 4 weeks and I'm still coughing! Get better soon.
I am so excited for you to have found the perfect niche. I love old linens, but am no authority so I'm glad to know who to turn to!
Oh yes, I'll take the chocolate too!
Georgia,
Its Nancyrooloo from AuntieRooloo blog.
I am so sorry to hear you have the "crude" as we call it here in MO. Almost every family I deal with in my job has "it".
I know how much harder it is to cope with the cold/coughing symptoms along with fibro/arthr!
I can totally emphasize with you!
Rest, and take care of yourself!
It seems to last 2-4 weeks.
Know that someone else knows how you feel!
Sincerely,
Nancy
Georgia, Hope you are feeling better, have been missing you over @ VTLC and now do I know why. At least today is a beautiful day here in SoCal, have you seen the snow-covered mountains this morning, so pretty!!!
