Just thought id drop ya all a line to let you know how things have been since I opened my own Local Shop here in Topeka.
Its been a little slow but business is starting to pick up and started to be found, and referred to others. Hey Im making Rent and that's what counts! Now I just need to get the profit side of it going so im making money instead of loosing money, or breaking even every month lol. I been told it can take up to 6 months to a year, I guess I just pray it will happen before then.
Keep me in your thought's as I travel down this path, and bring you beautiful works of art that is completed handcrafted by myself, and also offering Supplies to fit your needs, and uses.
I have Ton's of stuff in my local shop that has not even made it to my Etsy site yet.
You will never know what new treasure lurks around each corner as you enter. Stop by and see my Daughter and I, Thursday - Saturday Weekly At 1402 NW Lower Silverlake RD Topeka KS.

Whats New and Going on here lately
Sorry I have been absent but I been so busy.
My Sister in Law & I did a craft show Oct 2nd at Rochester Church of the Brethren's Fall Festival here in Topeka.
We were one of 2 craft booths so we did well specially since there was no competition.
We have another show coming up Dec. 11th at AG Hall at the Expo the Holiday Shop Till You Drop Craft Show.
I been working on alot of stuff to get ready for this event.
Plus I Finally got a Job! My first day is Oct 25th so that means less time on crafts but I am glad I got it.
I have 2 Etsy's now all my handmade items are now in Leighs Wiccan Boutique and I am slowly but surely converting Mandi Leighs into just a vintage shop since that is what primarily sells there.
I have alot of new products not just Jewelry anymore. I now offer Home Decor wall hangings, Dream catchers, plus I started making All Natural Bath & Body products enriched with Goats Milk. I have so many to still label and list to!
Plus I am now working on a Secret Project. I been trying to find a product that my 15yr old daughter could apply her talents to, that we could create together. Something that is not really made by anyone else, and cuts out bad chemicals that pollutes our air. I finally found my niche! It is currently in testing faze to find out its life span.
It is currently being tested by my sister, mom, husband, a local returning customer, and myself. We are on day 4 and the results are excellent, as it keeps on going!
Product will not be revealed until after testing faze, and is listed. This could take up to a month.
Keep your eye out to find out the surprise of my secret inexpensive to buy creation.
You can also stay updated on the testing faze from my Facebook Fan page at http://www.facebook.com/MandiLeighs.
