What We Learned This Week: We’ve got friends in blog places

Monday morning I awoke with an inspiration: we were going to start a blog. Sandy needs a place to write about her wares and share the joys and frustrations of creating. And I need an outlet for the random musings and discoveries that are a result of my much too much free time. Now, whether our efforts will ever be appreciated by more people than ourselves, only time will tell. But we learned this week, with a resounding click of the “Submit Order” button, that the effort of two other bloggers are certainly appreciated by many, and by no one more than the two of us.

Tuesday evening I received a message from Sandy with a link to this blog. And apparently, Mimi Smartypants has a gargantuan following, because her offhand plug of Sandy’s shop resulted in an unheard of 12 purses and 7 wristlets sold in two days. Flat. Holy moly. Thursday morning Sandy emailed another blog link to me. Since then, the shop has sold another 3 purses and 4 wristlets. And today ain’t even over yet. Holy, holy moly.

So, many thanks to you, O Great Blogosphere, granter of dreams and giver of purpose, and thank you Ms. Smartypants and all you slackers at What’s Distracting to Us?. We owe you one. If we weren’t married SAH moms who get loopy from NyQuil we’d say, “Next round’s on us.”
