Dear all W.I.N.O.S. (Women In Need of Sanity)!!!
Welcome to our new blog. It has been a VERY busy summer (make that the past two and a half years), and I am just now learning how to write and edit. If you have visited our website, you KNOW what we are all about. I am going to make a diligent effort to keep you up to date on all of our happenings because we are growing like mad.
In addition to our products and buddies program, we also are licensing our WINOS name for various products like furniture. I know, how did that happen??? It’s a long story which I will save for later, but let’s just say we are trying to turn WINOS into a brand!! The indoor casual dining line of furniture was launched at the Furniture Market at High Point, NC in April. The line sold sooo well, that the president of our manufacturer, Acacia Home and Garden, decided to design an OUTDOOR LINE. Yippee! That line will be launced at the Outdoor Show in Chicago next month. You can see our dining line by clicking the link with the chair on our home page or go to www.acaciahomeandgarden.com for more information.
We worked all Spring designing 52 NEW products for the big Atlanta Gift Market. We also had a display piece (aka Spinner Rack) designed to showcase most all of our products for our wholeslae accounts. The products will be up on our site shortly. We want to get them into our warehouse so when you see them, you can order them. 
I just got back from Toronto Gift Show with our new distributor, and ALL of our products sold like mad. I’m heading to Vegas on Saturday for a convention for one of our big customers. Our Seattle and New York shows are going on as I speak, but I can’t figure out how to be everywhere at the same time. Rats. I’m sorry I missed the NY trip, one of my favorite cities!!! I am also trying to write a new book, revamp our WINOS Buddies site, design a few more products, keep up with rep groups and recruit some new ones in my SPARE time.
We have come a looong way in just a little over two years, but I couldn’t have done it without my dedicated and loyal staff and family. They are the best ever! And of course, my wonderful customers from the US, Canada, Bermuda, England, The Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand! I owe my success to you. I will be sending you more in the coming days and weeks.
Cheers,
Bonnie
