Tiny Toes in Napa!!!

I don't know if I mentioned, my shoes are selling in a gift shop at the Napa River Inn in Napa, California.  So...if you are getting your wine on, be sure to check them out.  It was such a fluke.  As some of you may know I turned my hobby into business just after Lillianne was born, in hopes that I could make a little bit of money to justify staying home with her.  It has been a slow start, but who cares!  I am having fun.  I have made many little shoes and bows and always dressed Lilly in them.  Well, I had several people while out and about who told me I should sell the shoes especially, because they were cute, cloth, reversible, and well...cute.  Kelly McD and Ashley McD along with Kathy O. really encouraged me to give it a shot while we were at our women's retreat.  So....I did it. I opened a little shop on Facebook.  When Sara my friend who lives in Napa saw them, (her hubby's family owns a winery, Mckenzie-Mueller, check it out) she wanted to buy some for her soon to be nephew.  Then she showed everyone at work and the rest is history.  Here they are on the cute little shelf.  

 
 There are only 4 pairs because she already sold a pair. :)  woohoo!  I know it isn't that many, but it is a trial.  Here is a picture of the pair that sold.

And the 4 that are there.




Needless to say I am excited whether or not they sell. But if they do, I better get crackin'!  O, I think I forgot to mention.  The lady who owns the gift shop only sells stuff hand-crafted in California.  So be sure to check it out if you visit. The name of the gift shop is Amelia's.
