The Latest Cottage Chatter at Shabby Cottage Shops!

I am excited to announce we two new members!

French Charmed has just recently joined us! Please visit Chelle's beautiful website, you will find Home Decor for your French Chic Paris Apartment, Antiques and Vintage Style Wall Decor and beautiful Hand painted signs, all in the gorgeous French Style. The site is new, so check back often, as Chelle is busy creating beautiful things to add to her site! When you visit, please be sure to leave her a comment, I know she will be thrilled to hear from you!

Nanapuddndesigns has just joined us today, we are thrilled to have Rhonda with us! She designs and creates beautiful boutique clothing for babies and children! You will find the cutest tutu onesies, beautiful gift sets consisting of bibs, onesies and blankets, all appliqued with bunnies and other cute creatures made from Vintage Chenille. Her site is in the process of being designed by Susan of One Spring Street and will be ready just in time for the ad in Romantic Homes, on sale August 25th! Make sure to check back to see when Nanapuddndesigns opens her doors! You won't want to miss her grandopening!

We have a lot going on at Shabby Cottage Shops; we will be advertising in Romantic Homes, October, November and December Issues; plus Country Sampler in their wonderful "Holiday Issue", which is due on the newsstands on the 1st of October. The timing couldn't be more perfect, especially with the Holiday season sneaking around the corner!

If you are looking for a New online shopping mall to get noticed, want to generate more sales and hits, then we invite you to join us as a member! We are a fresh, new and exciting cottage community of boutique shop and website owners. Our membership starts at just $35.00 a month on French Cottage Cove and Cottage Park Drive! Plus if you join any of the pages other than Shabby Cottage Shops, you will get your banner placed in the "Rose Quilt" on the front page of Shabby Cottage Shops, FREE! This applies to the first 23 members only. This will give you double exposure, especially being on the front page while paying the lower membership fees. Other sites will charge you for this, but we feel it's a great way to get you more exposure while having to spend so much of your budget on advertising your site! If you have an eBay store, consider the fees you pay them monthly, not to mention all of the other fees associated with eBay or other sites! Do they advertise for you or are you just swimming in a sea of other vendors,not being noticed and selling your items well below cost?? There are no other fees associated with being a member of Shabby Cottage Shops, just your monthly membership! No commissions when you sell your products thru your own website, there is no limit on the number of products you can sell, you will have your own cottage at Shabby Cottage Shops which will be linked directly to your website, so you can "showcase" all of your products, not 4, not 12, but all of them!

Speaking of advertising ~ think of it this way ~~ advertising on the internet without help ~ you are a lonely sign in a very big desert, if you don't have other means of letting people know you have a wonderful shop or website, they won't be able to find you in the Desert!! When you make a cake, don't you need sugar?? Well, think of sugar as advertising, you can't bake a cake without sugar, it's one of the main ingredients of having a great cake. Joining an online shopping mall is very important, like the sugar in a cake! You can have the prettiest website and products, but without one of the most important main ingredients, (the sugar~join Shabby Cottage Shops), your cake won't be very good and sure to set, not be noticed, let alone eaten!

While visiting Shabby Cottage Shops, please visit our other wonderful members, Ribbons, Roses and More, One Spring Street and Mimi's Rose Chenille Boutique. On Rose Cottage Court, you will find Dusty Oak Ornaments, Sandy has the most beautiful quilted ornaments you have ever seen, stop by each of these wonderful shops, sign up for their newsletter and be so kind to add a comment to their guestbook, I know they would love to hear from you! Don't forget to sign up for our newsletter "Get The Cottage News" this will let you know about the sales, events and special each member will have!

Thanks for reading all the exciting "Cottage Chatter" at Shabby Cottage Shops! We would love to be the "sugar in your cake"! Just in time for the holidays! Please email shabbycottageshops@yahoo.com should you have any questions, we will be more than happy to respond quickly!

Have a "Pinkalicious Day"
