Custom Cutting Boards at Petit Coterie

The months are just flying by as evident by my last blog post.  We have just had so many exciting things going on and one of them is our new cutting boards. Of course we had to take one of our original pillow designs, the Cafe de Madaline and add it to a beautiful maple board.  We are now offering these boards as custom wedding gifts, with the bride and grooms name and date of their wedding as well as anniversary and house warming gifts. I think it's great when you can customize a gift.

We are also offering our Burlap Christmas stockings and our holiday pillows so please stop by our website.

I hope all of you have a wonderful week ahead.

Atlanta Market here we come!

Growth and change can either be feared, or embraced. Our small group is fully embracing our fast paced growth (including expanded office space!) with focus, determination, and hope. We are more than pleased to be a little hectic getting every last detail, new products, and new designs ready for our road trip. Destination? The Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Market taking place in Atlanta, GA from July 12th - 20th! This exciting event will be the big introduction of our new Cotton Twill line, new Bedding, and assorted other goodies we have added recently.

If you find yourself in Atlanta during the show, please come see us in Building 2 Suite 1801. We would love to have the opportunity to share our new products with you! We look forward to meeting everyone at the Atlanta Market, so mark your calendars for July 12 - 20!

I hope everyone's week is going great and continues to be wonderful!

Rain, Rain Don't Stay Away...

Finally! It is raining! We are in desperate need of rain, as I'm sure so many other states are. How sad to see so many of the wild fires across the nation. So cross your fingers and get your umbrellas ready as we all anticipate more rain.

We have been organizing today, as we're on the move again. Not going to far, we are expanding our office space and simply putting a door into the next group of offices. We seem to keep scrapes of fabric, thinking we might use it for something but that just never happens. Today is a day to just throw things out.

We are also getting ready for the Atlanta Market July 12 -20th. So much needs to be done. We do hope that if your going to Atlanta you will stop in and see us at the HomeStyle showroom 1801. We would love to see all of you.

I hope your day is filled with joy,

Happy Small Business Week!

Do you ever have those weeks where nothing seems to be going the way you would like? This has been one of those weeks. I feel like I am going around a Monopoly board, I just cannot get out of jail. For all of you who are in business for yourself I know you understand what I am talking about.

Social media, how important is it for your business? Twitter? I really don’t think that there is anything special about my day that I could share. Except for chewing the erasers off every pencil in my office out of pure frustration. I would love to hear your thoughts on tweeting. Maybe I just haven’t gotten up to speed on it. My tweet for the day would be up to my ears in pillows. I can’t even imagine anyone being interested in that.

I just heard yesterday that it is Small Business Week. What exactly does that mean? Is there a celebration going on somewhere that I am not aware of? Does it mean this week has been set aside for banks to shell out small business loans? If anyone knows the importance of Small Business Week, I would love to know.

Please share your thought on being a small business and how you’re celebrating Small Business Week.

To all of you who own your own business, I wish you a very happy Small Business Week!

The Winner Is....

Not only is the royal wedding a spectacular event but seeing the gorgeous dress that Kate selected is amazing. Reminiscent of Grace Kelly's wedding dress. I'm sure it will start a new trend in wedding gowns.

We are so excited to announce the winner of our Pillow a Month event. We used Random.org and Nancy from Life Love Laugh was selected. Congratulations Nancy!

As always we want to thank each of you for posting a comment. We always appreciate all the visitors to our blog. We do hope that you will check back often as we love to share out pillows in giveaways.

The weather is gorgeous here and I hope it is the same in your city. Enjoy your weekend!

One day left to be the lucky owner of SIX new Petit Coterie pillows!

I want to remind everybody to leave a comment so you can be sure your name will be entered in the drawing for a new pillow a month for six months. The drawing will take place tomorrow (Friday, April 29) so be sure to let us know your interest in participating!


Good luck and take care!

A Pillow Each Month Giveaway

I am really entertaining the idea of doing a pillow giveaway which would consist of giving one pillow away each month for six months. Like a pillow of the month club. I have seen so many monthly clubs from giving flowers to fruit each month. I think it would be fun for one person to win a pillow each month.

Let's just do it! I Think it will be fun. All you need to do is leave a comment on why you would like to win a pillow each month for six months and we will draw a name on Friday, April 29th.

Just think, a new surprise pillow arriving at your home each month.

Happy Tuesday!
