Do you have your own Etsy store? Do you own a small business? Do you work as part of a larger company selling oils, soft leggings, plastic containers of all shapes and sizes, or monogram-able bags? 

We would love for you to give a short description of your business and post a link here. With the holidays coming up, this could be a great way to support our fellow moms!

Yay! I love buying from people I "know" and small businesses. I also need some Pampered Chef stuff, so...

I'm sure you all know a million people, but I'll be selling LulaRoe (soft leggings and some dresses that are awesome fore maternity/ nursing!) in a few weeks! No link yet, but I can update once I get my page going.

I sell crochet items and have a Facebook page that I don't update very often. "Crochetions. by Abby" I don't get many views, and no sales on there, so I don't really update it. But I do still make items and sell them, mostly to friends.

I sell Jamberry! It's such a fun side job. My website is kmdevaney.jamberry.com.

I have an etsy shop: 
https://designsbyjennyi.etsy.com/

I create all things personalized.  Canvases, ring dishes, ornaments, wood plaques, cups, mugs, cake toppers, etched champagne, wine & beer glasses, koozies and more.  

I started it last September as a last ditch effort for more money instead of getting an actual second job, and found out I actually really enjoy it.

I sell cross stitch patterns on Etsy. I taught myself needlework and couldn't find the type of patterns I wanted, so I bought design software and started making my own. I like making animal silhouettes in fun patterns and colors. The shop has payed for my hobby and I get a little extra cash now and then, which is a bonus. Side note, I'll probably hang a few in the nursery.

@nda_roxybabe I look forward to that link! I don't have any LulaRoe contacts yet, and I've been wanting to check out the leggings.

I'm an herbalist, aromatherapist, and doula so I specialize in safe herbal and essential oil use in pregnancy.  My Etsy shop is closed since I can't make many of my signature products and they are contraindicated for pregnancy.  But I can do custom orders.  https://www.northshoreapothecary.com is the URL for the (closed ) shop.  I need to update my closed sign with the actual reason I am closed.  

ETA: Products cost, advice is free if anyone has any questions about using herbs and EO while pregnant (or any other time).

Love these! I really want to learn to cross stitch. About a year ago, I had someone on Etsy do a custom cross stitch of my family (me, DH, DS, our dog, and our cat) and it's one of my favorite things in my house! Looks like I'll have to update next year with Little Miss in the picture. :-)

Love this thread! I also like to support people I know whenever I can, which sometimes sounds weird considering I also work for Target But I am also a Brand Partner with Nerium- a happiness/anti-aging company. We have a couple amazing skincare products, a firming cream that is magical for stretch marks and loose skin, and a brain health supplement that I personally consider to be the cure for mom brain! Added bonus: most people who take it say they get the best sleep of their life and I am living proof. 

I love, love this company and what it stands for {our mission statement is Make People Better} and I plan to retire from my career soon and help my team full time while having flexibility with the kiddos. Win-win!! 

ETA I can't spell and forgot to mention the sleep benefits of EHT, which is my favorite thing about it.

I know this isn't my business, but I'm going to make a shameless plug for my mom and her kick-ass retirement/grandma hobby. She and her friend make lampwork glass beads and jewelry: https://www.facebook.com/tangledturtlenc

They don't have an online shop, but they make custom jewelry if you contact them. Or if you're in Eastern NC, you might bump into them at craft shows and art festivals. They have some items in a few galleries down that way too.

I do neither for money, but I am a registered distributor with Advocare as well as Plexus. Generally speaking, most supplements are contraindicated during pregnancy but I'd be glad to order anything for anyone!

I sell tea with Steeped Tea! Loving it! I have been more careful about what I was drinking during the first trimester but now that I'm out Im enjoying them all! 

MamaMiller

@Jen_Shoes- beautiful stuff! I have had desire to do an etsy shop soon too. I enjoy up-cycling old treasures. My mom flips houses in DC so I come across all sorts of neat things that are over 100 years old. I have considered getting a circuit to expand- out of curiosity- is that what you use? if so what machine would you recommend? 

Jens_Hoes

@MamaMiller Thank you! 
I use a Silhouette Cameo 2 (they just came out with the three this fall).  I've heard positive and negative things for both Silhouette and Cricut, I didn't do much research prior to buying the Silhouette, I didn't realize the Cricut existed.  I have heard you need "cartridges" with the Cricut, and you need internet to use it (I'm not sure if they updated the software for that part).  
I love the versatility with the design software with the Silhouette, I'd be happy to talk with you more about it via messages (so we don't drag down the board about this) if you have more questions!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but... I got all my LLR inventory in and am about to have my first sale if there's any fans who are interested. You can PM me and I'll PM you the group info. I know it's kind of eek risky, bc FB. However, by joining the group I can not see your page, but you can shop

livin541

I'd love to support your business @nda_roxybabe, I'll send you a PM!

RedInLove

I don't have a business but I did recently start a food Instagram blog page! It's called @greedymamadallas I love capturing pictures of my food adventures and I travel very often (hubby works for a flight company) so I plan to feature food from everywhere. It's very new but I would love support...it's taken up much needed headspace for me!

I totally missed this thread somehow.

I'm an author who writes science fiction and fantasy. Right now, I have 2 of 3 books of a series plus a companion novel published, currently exclusive through Amazon on Kindle & in paperback. It's paranormal with a splash of romance--of the angels/demons variety. There are also a few free short stories on my website, one of which you can get if you sign up for my author newsletter (if you're into that sorta thing): https://www.saboviec.com

I'm also working on launching a romance pen name -- hot/spicy (aka descriptive sex scenes included but not straying into erotic romance). Nothing for sale yet, but I will let my regular newsletter know when something is out next summer.

Paranormal with romance is my favorite! I typically don't like angel/demon though. Dang it Still going to check it out.

If there's any fans of indie sci-fi or fantasy books, check out this 99c sale:

https://andreapearsonbooks.blogspot.ca/2017/01/multi-author-speculative-fiction.html

I'm one of the authors, so I don't want to post in the books thread and get dinged for trying to sell stuff, but I figured it was safe here. ;-)
