Vendor Spotlight: Rose Elliot

Having a destination wedding on the beach? We specialize in Barefoot Weddings with our own copyright style of barefoot jewelry. We are a husband and wife team who make our jewelry in our Southern California studio using Swarovski Pearl, Austrian Crystals and Sterling Silver. For a perfect match choose your perfect pearl or crystal color to complete your look.

When Bob and I started in 2001 it was custom beaded necklaces, bracelets and anklets. We never thought it would last this long or how we would stand out on the web, when a customer came to the site asking me to create barefoot jewelry for a beach wedding. This was new for me. I spent the weekend trying to figure out how to make a special pair that was more than a simple strand up the foot, and opened a new world for us. Today we have several styles in all price ranges and have created foot jewelry for many people on their special day. We learned that if you want to stay in business it is important to listen to your customers.

It has been a wild ride of ups and downs and has allowed me to stay home and be there for my 2 kids who are now 15 and 17.

Vendor Spotlight: Diane Morgan

I took advantage of an early retirement package in 1998 from a high paying corporate job of twenty two years. I was bored to death, knew there was more to life and wanted to follow my dreams. I have always been creative and sold items at craft shops and craft shows for years. One of the craft shops asked me to paint a mailbox, which I did. I hated painting on metal! Imagine my surprise when it sold that day. I painted another one and sold it right away too, and Morgan Mailboxes & More was born. My husband (computer graphic artist) built a web site and it began to take off.

In Sept. 2001 my husband was laid off due to his company down sizing. We spent a harrowing two years with the severe pay cut and many months with more bills than income. Little by little my husband started getting more involved in the business and we are now partners. Realizing that what we have was working he decided to expand our business by working with other small home-based businesses. He is now representing USA artists and selling their unique mailboxes at Morgan Home Accents. He expanded our line further to include other home and garden products and has become a prefered distributor for several manufacturers.

In the spring of 2006 I launched another site Classic Country Quilts. My first love has always been textile art (quilting, sewing, knitting, crocheting). I will be concentrating on quilting with theme, embellishment and country quilts.

We have become a true Mom and Pop home-based business and we are both blessed to be able to do what we love and make a success out of it. We share our home, business and time with the Morgan Zoo.....1 Sheltie, 4 cats and 2 parrots.

Final Thought

A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life ... Hugh Sidey
