So I'm currently in the midst of some serious research on how to get some wholesale accounts. I love it when I find a blog that has a whole list of articles, so I figured I'd round some up here just in case some other people need some help too. If you haven't checked out Design Sponge's Biz Ladies posts, they're definitely a must read. I think it was an article there that got me inspired to start my online store. Anyway, here's a list of some good articles on how to wholesale:
Etsy: Approaching Boutiques
Littleput: (Long time highly successful Etsy Seller)
ModishBiz: Selling your work in stores
Craft Inc. (If you haven't read this book, buy it now!)

Some Things I Learned at the Marathon
My first marathon was a success! I'm alive, 4 days later I can walk down stairs without people staring, and I have 2 toenails that might fall off any day, and I am ready to sign up for next year.
I don't know what it is that makes sick people like me want to do this. The fact that all it really takes it determination? The urban legend that less than 1% of the population will ever do it? Bragging rights? Proving something to yourself? I think for me I kind of just thought it would be fun. I like running, I like getting to see things at a slower pace and not out of a car window. I like being outside. The cool thing about a marathon is you get to be on foot places you never will be otherwise. Anyway, we had a great time and finished a good 20 minutes earlier than I thought I would.
Some things I'll remember for next time:
Bring toilet paper. You'd think they'd have stocked extra. Nope.
Vaseline in between the toes.
Reapply sunblock.
Tighter braid. I had dreads that looked like they'd been there for 10 years. Not fun.
How awesome last year was.=)
Now that that's checked off the list, back to Halloween!
