I met a new friend and I would like to introduce you to her

This is Mary

 I had a surprise sent to me and her name is Mary.  She owns The Bargain Lady resale/consignment stores in Oklahoma.  I invite you to visit her web page at www.bargainlady.com.  I will say God always places someone in your path for a reason.  She arrived to thank me for a small thing and what happened when I went to learn more about her, I  find myself encouraged once again by visiting her pages.  She is on a precipice and it is large.  She could use some clarity so let’s send up prayers that God will guide her to a successful outcome.  Life is a wonderful mystery.  Wishing you all a Blessed and Abundant day.

Lots and lots of new arrivals

Come on in and sit down. Please tell me about you.

I am trying to learn from our friendly support staff at WordPress (I love how they thank us for HUGS, how great is that?) anywaysssss, how to go about adding multiple photos or a video and as soon as I hear how to accomplish that I will add them.  Meanwhile, I have just uploaded 98 pictures to my webpage.  Please pop on over to www.emporiumnh.com and take a mini virtual tour of the store and some new arrivals.  Thank you for stopping by and I would love to hear what you got to say. 

Let’s get better acquainted.  Please leave a comment and share your thoughts.  Thanks.  Karen

What did you see on your ride home last night?

Stunning sunset and fall pics taken on my ride home last night about 4:45 PM on November 14, 2009.  I see this lake every day and every night and its beauty always stops me in its tracks and I wanted to share this sunset  with you.  The other pictures are the same lake this summer and this fall during the day.

So spectacular was this site with the sun setting that you could not tell were the water ended or the sky began.  It was as thought there was an all consuming fire that lit the entire space above us and on all sides.  So stunning a sight that 15 cars stopped to take photos.

All I could think was….”God” what a good job!

A moment to Thank our Hero’s

 Happy Veterans Day to all our Heros:

Thought share of the day:

It doesn’t take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.General Norman Schwarzkopf

Thank you

Ops here is Tara’s You tube link

Annies Story of Stuff and the Real Cost of a Pair of Jeans

 

Annie's Story of Stuff

First, Happy Veterans Day to all our Heros.An affiliate of mine made this video on You Tube on the real cost of a new pair of jeans. Tara owns a children’s resale shop www.bornagain.net and posted this video as a share on one of my social network pages www.tgtbt.com. I am a proud treasured sponsor of Kate Holmes site.   Tara is taking a class and she made this as a class project. I think you will agree she did a great job and made it relatable by zeroing in on the real costs of a simply pair of jeans.  Annie and Cinda would be proud, I know I am.Many of you know I have been a vocal advocate about Annie’s story and the 3/50 project for many years, so this makes me happier still.  For anyone still unfamiliar with these programs please visit  Annie Leonard and Cinda Baxter and read more about their messages at:    www.thestoryofstuff.com  and the www. the350project.netAnywaysss… here is Tara’s take on Annie’s story. She did a good job of bringing the message closer to home for many of us. Sending a big Thumbs up to Tara. When you watch it you will see yet again why Elegant Resale rules today.Here goes…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfW6PMcU7Qg. Tara is on You Tube under “Gently Used Speech” if this link will not open.  Please let me know what you think.  Wishing you all a fan tab u lous day!

Well this is a first for me, trying to link my pages together. I checked and found that if you click on hte link it does bring you to my NING blog. This allows anyone to see the still pictures of the Emporium and by clicking on “SLIDESOW” one can watch the show. I am sure this can be done better, but I am pretty happy to have figure it out his far. So I hope someone comments and lets me know your thoughts. It’s the only way I know to check and see if it worked. Please help me out. Thanks.

You Gotta See This!

<b>NOVEMBER NEWS and NEW ARRIVALS!

Simply Divine Proportions was filled to the brim yesterday with so many Brand New-With-Tag fashions arriving that even I could not believe my eyes. All the top labels we love. Yes, Tuesday was no ordinary day it was a “SUPER TUESDAY!”

When the smoke cleared I had taken in 60+ pieces of New-With-Tag fashions arriving in sizes from large thru 5x. Exquisite clothes from the best sweaters made by Dale of Norway, Norleander, Quill’s, Blarney and Tally Ho along with tops, trousers and jackets from Silhouette, Lane Bryant to handbags by Coach, Aigner, Stone Mountain and more.

As if that was not enough excitment…the Emporium also had a super day of new arrivals. Over 100+ pieces of the most exquisite Native American Home Decor and accessories. Many vases and pieces are signed by the Native American artists that created them. Beautiful works in sands and clays, silver and wood. If you love Native American art, decor and jewelry you will not want to miss this arrival. With so much coming in it is hard to take photos, I will try to post some soon. Hurry in these pieces won’t last long.<b>
