So proud of my team!

I just need to give a little shout out to my amazing Barefoot team today!  You guys are having a great month of sales!  It's so wonderful to see!  Diane, who joined just last month is doing gangbusters up in Michigan.  Her first couple of vendor fairs were rather slow, but the Waldorf event she did this weekend kept her very busy.  In Diane's words, "Finally, people who love books & recognize the value.  Now THIS was FUN!  I love recommending books, watching big kids read to little kids, mom crying over Motherbridge of Love, helping German mom choose books in English for her kids . . . just a fantastic, fantastic event."  Ah, I love events like that! :) 
Kate just recently opened a beautiful consignment store in Wheaton, IL, where she's selling adorable children's clothes, as well as Barefoot Books.  Kate, the store is perfect, and I know it will be a success!
And welcome to my newest team member, Bridget!  Bridget and I reconnected through Facebook recently, many years after high school. You will love how supportive this group of women is, Bridget, and how fun selling Barefoot Books is.   
Don't forget about the "HARVEST" sale this weekend!  Starting this Thursday, November 25 until midnight Monday, November 29, you and your customers will enjoy a 20% discount on everything Barefoot!  Don't miss the chance to share this with your friends and family!  They are looking for great gifts for their kids, and you have them!  If you don't tell them, they won't know, so be sure to spread the word.  There's nothing better than online sales because you really don't have to do anything for them but share your website/ marketplace. :)  Many of them are not familiar (yet) with Barefoot Books, or don't know that we also carry Putumayo CD's, Folkmanis puppets, and Sarah's Silks.  
Keep up the great work everyone!  I've got my own mind set on winning that Haba rug and all those signed books. I'd love to be booking spa days with all of you in January!
