Oogling Over Online Boutique Sales

Lately I’ve been overly interested in online boutique sales. Well, more just interested in “window shopping” because with Sissy’s first birthday next week, a trip to the Midwest next month, and Christmas around the corner…this momma can’t shop till she drops. Unless there’s an amaaaaaaaazing deal of course. Dammit. Or, if I find an amazing deal for someone on the Christmas List.

Most of the sites require you to register, it doesn’t cost a penny, but you will get daily e-mails (or more) highlighting new sales. I tend to delete ALL of those e-mails and visit the sites when I’m up for some “window shopping.”

The boutiques:
- veryjane.com: I’ve ordered a handful of items from this boutique. A necklace, a wall vinyl, stamped ID bracelets for my girls, etc. I’ve been very happy with my purchases (e.g., prices, turnaround times, products). What do they sell? Jewelry, women’s clothing, kids’ clothing, women’s shoes, kids’ shoes (handmade booties), socks, hair accessories/decor, artwork, mailing labels…lots of cool stuff!
- groopdealz.com: this boutique has a lot of stuff all the time. What do they sell? Much the same as veryjane.com, but different. Check them out. LOL.
- sassysteals.com: hit or miss, but when it’s a hit, it’s a hit! I’ve purchased a couple of scarves from this boutique. What do they sell? Jewelry, scarves, hair accessories, kids’ clothing…

There is a downside. Sometimes your purchases won't ship for weeks after your shopping trip. So either be okay with that, or shop elsewhere. Most of the sellers have links to other locations where they sell their products (i.e., Etsy).

Attempt #496

I keep telling myself that I can make the commitment to do this…but I never follow through. So I’m making another attempt. Let’s see if I can hold myself to it. Now, what to write about? I like to share fun little tips and stories as life happens, so that’s where I’ll start.
