And speaking of the future, my plans are to begin featuring several small businesses over the next year. In return, I'm hoping these business owners will provide the blog world with usefull and motivational material to encourage others in their businesses and lives as well. My mission is to help bring more awareness to the hand made movement and small businesses who are trying to succeed in today's economy. I hope to accomplish this by linking websites, blogs, or fan pages to the cyber public in order to help boost sales and build credibility. While I do believe in the importance of world trade, I also believe in supporting our own economy and citizens too.
My request is this: If you have educational, motivational, and interesting information you could share with the public, please email me and let me know if you would like to contribute toward this project. Short tutorials, how-to projects, business tips, interesting stories or facts, recipes, give aways,...etc., are some of the things I'm asking for.

Years ago I mailed out quarterly newsletters to my customers, and sponsors could reserve an ad on the back page for free providing they could submit a helpful or interesting post to my readers. Some examples: A hairdresser told how to remove chlorine from hair during summer swimming, a local diner submitted a favorite recipe, a wood shop explained how to remove furniture spots and rings, coupons were offered, I submitted a coloring contest for children,... and the list could go on and on.
You may comment here and tell me if you would like to be considered (please make sure I can get in touch with you!) and Etsy owners can convo me to say the same. I will compile a juried list and contact you with my idea for your feature post on my blog. Please do not submit any ideas at this time. This is still a work in progress! Hope to "see you aboard" this mission! Thanks!










In honor of Thanksgiving, and with the Holiday Season upon us, I can't think of a better time for a Chigger Hill Cottage Give Away! I will be giving away this two-piece ruffled tunic top and pants set size 4! What a fun Holiday print!
