Playing with Accessories

Oh my gosh!  This new "venture" is so much fun!  I held my business launch party on Wednesday, and we had a great time.

I'm planning on holding some "Wine & Design" parties for a couple of friends who booked a party.  The concept is to gather for a sampling of the Biltmore food products, then taste and learn about 3 wines & show 3 design ideas.   So, I've been working on design ideas with some of the products.

Our Vintage Wine Basket, shown below, is one of my favorites, and it comes in the business starter kit.  I displayed at my launch party hanging on the front door, using flowers & curly willow.  (I forgot to take any photos.  Duh...)  Today, I designed it for the powder room.

I also received the Courtyard Large Lantern in my kit.  This is one of the first things I would have purchased.  Perfect for indoor or covered outdoor areas.  The catalog shows it with flowers in the glass hurricane that comes with the lantern.  I used an idea I saw on Pinterest, and decorated it up with Easter candy corn, peeps and a tealight.

My next party is Monday.  I'll be trying some more ideas out over the next couple of days.  How would YOU use these items?

Yes, I did!

I love direct selling as a career!  So much so, I have added another one to my repertoire!

I encountered "Biltmore Inspirations" through a wonderful "pinner" (Holly Ledingham) on Pinterest.  I have been following her for a while, because she has such great taste & style.  I checked on her business, and well...I fell in love!

I have always wanted to visit Biltmore!  Now I am a part of a new business opportunity founded by the family.  How cool is that?  AND, national convention will be there this summer!

The business has such wonderful products and values.
