Sweet Petula's #1 Fan

Pictured above...Lanna, my #1 customer. How do I know she is my #1 customer?......well, you see, Lanna and her Mom, were shopping at Old Navy yesterday. Standing in line to pay. Lanna caught Mom/Rachel out of the corner of her eye smelling some spray perfume...and this is how it went...
~
Lanna: Put that Down! We only use Sweet Petula Soaps!
~
Mom: I know...I was just smelling it.
~
Lanna: Well....we don't need to.

That's my girl! Gotta love that brand dedication!

Graditude is an Attitude

(photo by J P Greenwood)



I just got a pep talk from a homeless woman. She was delightful. It wasn't until after she told me to get over myself that I knew she was homeless...and it made my day. Just to be clear, she didn't literally tell me to "get over myself"...she just told me her theory of being grateful for what you have.....and it was wonderful....then after we chatted for awhile I realized she was in fact a homeless person. Kind of puts things in perspective.

good ? press.



Look what came in the mail today! Press for Sweet Petula. I have no idea what it says...but the pictures are pretty!

I heart stripes & swimming

It is swelteringly hot at Sweet Petula...and downtown is dead. What's that thing your Mom used to tell you when you complained about being bored? "if your bored..it means your boring"??? Well, I'm really boring today. It seems like everyone left town early and left me here alone. What gives?
So I'm shopping on-line....it keeps me busy.
Check out this vintage Barbie inspired bathing suit by LA Drama Queen.

Made by designer Tani Marie, LA Drama Queen makes swimwear, lingerie and dresses. Check out her shop here.

It's really hot in here. I keep forgetting what day it is. Do you think that has anything to do with the heat? Earlier a man mentioned that today is supossed to be one of the hottest days of the year in Seattle. Is that possible? It's only June. But he really seemed to know what he was talking about.

front page action

My newest product addition....Botanical Solid Perfumes were on the front page of Etsy last night. Front page action is always good for sales and the treasury was really pretty. The theme was "Inspired by June Weddings". Unfortunately, it was while I was sleeping, so the perfumes sold out before I could list more. But they are re-stocked now. Go here to see.

Available in three new scents; Velvet Blush, Pink Garden Rose & Day Dream. Pretty packaging is coming soon...I always try out the actual item first on Etsy to see what stays & what goes.
