Random thoughts

Hi all!

hope you enjoyed your Valentine's Day. It's not as big a celebration over here as it is in the US or perhaps UK, but we do commemorate the day with a special meal and a little gift. It's basically a quiet affair.

Moving along...any blogger who has a Facebook Business Page will have noticed that the widget on their blog is blank, due to the changes made by Facebook to streamline the look of both business and profile pages. I can't say I'm pleased that all my tabs have gone and my shops are now tiny icons located in the left column. I doubt new 'likers' will even click on them. The row of random photos from my album across the top of the page is annoying, and why are the posts not in consecutive order? Hmpf.

So, while I'm trying to figure out how to get my widget back in working order I have put up a simple facebook button on the right side of my blog if anyone cares to visit my page...

At the weekend I found out that my favourite café has closed! This is where I used to meet my friends and invite clients to. I shed a couple of tears when I heard about it. No more Belgian waffles with cherries :(

In shop news I have been approached by a lady who is interested in bulk ordering my sleepwear line. Since I'm new to this wholesale business I consulted Etsy shop owner, blogger and friend Erika who gave me sound and valuable advice. Thank you Erika!



And last but not least I have been awarded the Stylish Blogger Award by lovely Denesa, working mom of two cute little boys. She writes about motherhood while maintaining a full-time career. Her blog is filled with parental advice and her personal insights on raising kids! I'm very honoured to be receiving this award. Thank you so much!

Thank you for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!

You truly deserve the award! Good luck on your new wholesale business venture!

Erika said...

Duni, you are very sweet and I appreciate the mention. I did not do much but I can understand the excitement--hope you get out of it what you want!

I do not like the changes--I just went and checked it out. It looks like a mess and I don't like how they moved everything around. I guess they need to earn their money somehow--wish they would create new apps instead:)

Congrats on the award! Your blog IS very stylish. :) And good luck with the wholesaling!

Wow! Wholesale???! That's quite an honor. :) That will be interesting to figure out--get sewing, Chickie!!

Dori said...

Congratulations on everything! And that is such great news about the wholesale venture! :)

Nancy said...

Wow, congrats on the wholesale order- that's amazing! And it will keep you busy for quite a while, huh? I too am tired of trying to figure out what's going on with fb. I never really seemed to figure out how to change things that easily, especially just to the business page and not to my personal one. It's just an annoying place in general.

Congratulations on your wholesale order! That's wonderful and so deserved since your work is fabulous! I don't see a change in my Facebook widget so am a little confused on what you mean but maybe it'll show up sooner or later.

Congrats on the wholesale order and the award!

I do not like the changes to the facebook page either. However, my widget on blogger has not changed. It still has my picture, name, and fan status on it.
