On Tour: Little Lady Studio partners with CARE at National Conference 2011

1400 additional miles logged and another successful and action packed week partnering with CARE at the National Conference in Washington DC. This year’s conference was exceptionally organized at a new location, the Washington Hilton. The International Marketplace buzzed with excitement, passion and determination throughout the conference. Anticipating the conference with bated breath, I launched my new pin keepsake, mini-workbooks, new ethnic  illustrations and our Be Bold Gift Set featuring CARE’s I AM Powerful winners. The special edition gift set includes the bold and powerful story of Goretti Nyabenda, whom I was able to meet at last year’s conference, a unique inspirational experience for me personally.Visit our website if you would like to add this collector’s edition stationery set to your personal stash.

Little Lady Studio was housed next to Original Women, a unique company that celebrates the artistry of women of the world, Tickets-for-Charity, where great events and great causes come together and a few other admirable partners. The market was a great success and again I was able to meet some outstanding individuals, learn and receive affirmation that local initiatives help to support critical global agendas.

The Little Ladies of the World keep multiplying and there is no plan to slow down!

WRITTEN now carried at Broadway Paper, Milwaukee

I’m bursting out of my skin in celebration of WRITTEN now being carried at Broadway Paper! Milwaukee is in my blood…I love all things Milwaukee…most certainly Broadway Paper. Back in 2004, when I first launched my Little Lady collection, Broadway Paper was owned by Tracy and it was down the street from it’s gorgeous current location. The store has always been a source of inspiration for me.

Today, under new ownership, I”m thrilled to announce that I will be working with Broadway Paper as to become a flagship store for the WRITTEN collection. The store has my largest point of purchase display unit, offering my loyal and new customers a wide variety of WRITTEN gift and greeting cards for purchase!

Please spread the word and enjoy shopping for your WRITTEN whims at Broadway Paper. And of course, with every purchase you are helping other little ladies of the world create positive change for themselves and their families!
