I received a lovely email from TBC reader Victoria....she wanted to introduce me to her girlfriend Emily's wonderful business....Joyful Abode and Emily's Etsy Shop...this is what we girlfriends do for each other and I love it!!! I love Emily's site...it is filled with great recipes and "mouth watering" images of the meals that she actually prepares AND you can check out her wonderful featured products! Emily I applaud you and your growing business..I am a huge fan of women entrepreneurs...so head on over and check out Joyful Abode...trust me..you will be glad you did!
Meet Emily's cousin Mariah modeling one of Emily's "homemade vintage aprons"...okay Guys...what a great wedding or bridal shower gift and a great "add on" to the cookware from the bridal registry or maybe with a nice bottle of wine!
Emily the aprons are too cute!! I love them!
Guys, these are great...they are "Green" Cotton Grocery Totes....I'm all about "going green" and these totes are perfect....Victoria and Emily had a great suggestion for these...for brides having a destination wedding, instead of placing "Welcome Baskets" in your guests hotel rooms...you can put bottle water, maps, candy, etc. in the totes and this will be something that your guests can use long after the wedding....great idea!
Recipe Cards....how fun are these...the ladies suggested....attaching the cards to homemade cookies to give as favors to your guests. Also, sending a recipe card with the save-the-date or invitations and asking everyone to send back their favorite recipe with their reply...then the bride can put together a collection of the cards for her first cookbook...now that's a GREAT idea!
Emily...thank you SO much for stopping by the cafe today...I love your products and all the fun ideas that you and Victoria have shared with us today...I wish you all the success with Joyful Abode and I look forward to your next visit and thanks to Victoria for introducing TBC to Emily!!
Wow, thank you so much for posting this gushy entry! :) And of course, thank you to Victoria for letting TBC know about my site. hehe.
I have to say, if that were me in the picture, I'd be a very lucky girl! That's actually my lovely cousin, Mariah.
Also, a note to readers: All of my merchandise is at http://shop.joyfulabode.com now except for one lonely item that is still lingering in my old etsy shop.
Thank you again, TBC and Victoria! I'm blushing over here.

I'm passing the Joyful Abode site on to my friend who is really into vegetarian recipes and crafts/sewing. I'm not into vegetarian stuff, but even I might try some of her recipes. Great site and thanks for blogging it!
