There are some bloggers you might be interested in!!

clarification

When I do the top ten. Average sales. I include ALL auctions listed. Then I divide sales totals BY amount of auctions listed to come up with an average sale price, Every member of your group listing auctions , and BIN's are included . I DO not include any store listings, website sales, sales from Blossom street, or sales you may have had outside of ebay. You could be the highest seller on ebay and never list a single auction, SO YOU WOULD NOT BE COUNTED. I just found an easy way to do a fun countdown. You know like the Billboard top ten. It isnt set in stone, official, sanctioned by ebay, and I dont manipulate numbers.
It is just all about Completed Boutique auctions for your group. That come up in an ebay search.

It has not been my intention to stress anyone out over where they place in the Boutique countdown.
My apologies..

Do you have

a gifted child??

We Have Uncovered the Larget Childrens Boutique Community On The Internet

Come and let us introduce you to the Largest children's boutique communities on the internet. This community supports thousands of households in North America.

Everywhere, North America (PRWEB) June 28, 2006 -- When you think of Children’s boutique you don’t immediately think of Ebay. Ebay has one of, if not the largest networks of Boutique children’s clothing designers, seamstress’s, wearable artists, jewelers, and small home based boutique business’s in North America, that sell worldwide.

On ebay you can order that custom set you need for an important function, or find unique everyday casual wear by wahms. For every article of clothing being sold there is a jeweler waiting to make a matching set of jewels. A painter who will paint that special pair of shoes, socks and hats are crocheted in fun funky styles, all made to match.
They not only offer gorgeous outfits for girls But trendy, knockout sets for boy’s as well. Infant wear, diaper bags, vintage chenille diaper covers, and layette sets. Great for gift giving. Personalized item for one of a kind, we have hundreds of designers who will dress your infant, toddler, youth and tween.

Looking to redecorate your Child's room? Our Boutique world is loaded with many sellers, artists, handcrafter’s again many *wahm’s .

Painting one of a kind , wall décor, pillows, lamp’s , room accessories. To match hand made bedding, or made to match many of the popular store brands.

So where do these designers go to run a special , advertise, or check on how they are stacking up against the competition… They take a daily visit to The designing-Minds blog The Blog is a staple for the sellers of children’s boutique to keep up with everything that is going on in ebay groups, design and sellers groups. The blog also is the only place you will find a seller offering a spur of the moment sale, or free shipping to the public from their website or auctions. Many sellers advertise their business on the blog, and we do a bimonthly countdown of the busiest , top sellers on ebay.

If you are looking for custom, unique, hand made boutique clothing made right here in North America by wahms Or if you are a wahm, or a woman with a home based business. You may want to become part of our community.

Speaking of Euro Mumbo Jumbo!!

This designer was thinking!!
go from summer to Fall with this mix and match set!
all you need to KNOW is a little Mumbo Jumbo.
and Evileena's gumbo

OH my WORD!!

As a reformed Tabaholic I am intrigued by this one!
3 times the caffeine as Tab cola...
can you say "the jitters" I can feel the palpitations already!

From wikpedia...

TaB Energy is a low-calorie energy drink named after Tab, Coca Cola's original low-calorie cola brand. While it shares the Tab name, it is not a cola product like the original Tab. Fashion Week Daily describes it as a “sweet and sour beverage” with a taste “reminiscent of a liquid Jolly Rancher.” Some drinkers alternatively label the taste as reminding them of strawberry or watermelon Nerds. It is sweetened with Sucralose (rather than saccharin), is pale pink, and lightly carbonated.

It is packed in 10.5 ounce slim cans (with a shape similar to the can used for Red Bull). The New Yorker notes than the original Tab has thirty-one milligrams of caffeine and less than 1 calorie per serving, while Tab Energy has ninety-five milligrams of caffeine and five calories. (It also contains 785 mg Taurine, 116 mg Ginseng extract, 19 mg Carnitine, and 0.90 mg Guarana extract, according to the can.)

Spring cleaning was LAST month

I got a rant from someone today I will call Karen!! She has gotten 3 emails this WEEK stating that a buyer/seller group she was a part of were cleaning house....IT is SUMMER!! For crying out LOUD people have lives and they like to enjoy them, without fearing reprisal from a group leader with a jittery finger on the unsubb button!!

Karen says"

Now, when did we designers become objects we dust, to be swept away, vacuumed up, swished into a pail, or just plain wiped out? There's one thing the boutique community doesn't seem to get--we are all customers, here. We don't wish to be treated as dust bunnies who live in fear of getting mercilessly wiped off of boards because we haven't checked in lately. Would you take a customer off your mailing list because she hasn't purchased from you for awhile? No!

Some of us are having babies. Some of us are traveling, taking care of sick parents, doing the yardwork for our out-of-town husbands, catching up on the laundry--and, oh yes! We are running our businesses and design groups! (Or writing a blog designer x adds) While I understand the need to keep the boards running smoothly, I don't really see the need to announce to everyone that they are about to be objectified into a tiny piece of mouldering waste that needs to be disposed of."
I have heard this many times over the last few years......... food for thought!
