Courtesy of Love Me Always

I have learned that doing something for others without asking for anything in return often will yield a return anyway.  One of the things I enjoy more than shoes is supporting others in their endeavors and thanking those that have offered their support to me in mine. To that end, I have 2 people that I would like to thank.  Rebecca Otero Lee Hansgen has been a fan of mine for well over a year.  Every single day she visits me.  How do I know?  There is always at least one “like” of something that I post & sometimes she even comments.  To some people this may not mean much but to me, it shows me that she appreciates the fact that I try to post something in spite of a busy schedule, being a single mom & having a career that is not even remotely related to shoes.  For her support I want to say thank you.

The other person I would like to thank is Laurie Briner Sharps, she has not been with me as long as Rebecca but when you have a fan page, the one thing you want more than anything are followers.  You spend a lot of time posting things that you hope others will like & voluntarily click the like button at the top of the page.  On many of my posts that include pictures, I will ask for my fans to please share.  I absolutely love that Facebook has made it so you can see exactly who actually does.  Laurie consistently shares my information which means that the people who are following her or are her friends have the opportunity to see what I offer & may become fans.  This gives me more reach and the more numbers I see as people who like this, the more I feel I’m on to something good.  You may not realize it but people who have fan pages work hard at getting people to take interest in what they are doing.  They have a passion because there are so many other things we could be doing but we post because we love the subject matter we are sharing.  We are on the hunt for others who share our passion.  So thank you Laurie for potentially bringing me more followers.

Lastly, I would like to thank Jerilyn Rush over at Purse Bling, she has been a supporter since the beginning of my business when I would bring an entire shoe store into your living room in the form of a shoe party.  Now that I am all online, she again has offered her support of my passion for shoes.  Stay tuned for a contest that will feature a give away from her vast array of FUNctional ways to add charm to your purse but more importantly, the gifts that I bear as my way of saying thank you to Laurie & Rebecca come from her shop.

For Rebecca, I have a key finder with the cutest shoe.  If you are not familiar with a key finder, the way it works is you put your keys on it, it hooks over the top of your handbag.  This way, you are never fishing inside your purse for your keys, they are easily available to you.

For Laurie, I have a purse hook.  An old wives tale says that if you put your purse on the floor, you will forever be poor.  Well we can’t have that now can we?  I also happen to be a little paranoid about hanging my purse over the back of a chair when I’m at a restaurant or bar.  So, this handy item holds your purse for you.  They can also be used in the bathroom when the stall you choose doesn’t have a hook, just use it upside down!  Clip to the edge of tables & keep your purse in plain view and off the floor.  Who doesn’t love THAT idea?  :-)
