A Pillow Each Month Giveaway

I am really entertaining the idea of doing a pillow giveaway which would consist of giving one pillow away each month for six months. Like a pillow of the month club. I have seen so many monthly clubs from giving flowers to fruit each month. I think it would be fun for one person to win a pillow each month.

Let's just do it! I Think it will be fun. All you need to do is leave a comment on why you would like to win a pillow each month for six months and we will draw a name on Friday, April 29th.

Just think, a new surprise pillow arriving at your home each month.

Happy Tuesday!

Made In The U.S.A.?

How important is it to have pride that your items are "Made In The U.S.A."? I felt it was very important. If Petit Coterie could put 20 unemployed workers to work then we have made a small contribution to the unemployment in this country. Unfortunately, to be competitive I must offer pillows and bedding at a price that small stores can achieve a decent mark-up.

As the manufacturing pool get's smaller and smaller due to the imports coming in, it is harder for small manufacturing plants to keep up with the high cost of insurance and overhead. So naturally they are not in a position to offer rates that are competitive with China and India.

Which brings me back to the realization that just like many other wholesalers/manufactures in the U.S. we may have to move our production to China. A very sad thought.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Petit Coterie Pillows on The Martha Stewart Show

We were completely taken off guard when we received an email that Martha Stewart had picked several of our pillows as her favorite items. Our pillows will be on The Martha Stewart show tomorrow April 5th. They will then be offered for sale tomorrow on One Kings Lane. We do hope that you will have a chance to view the show which is on the Hallmark channel.

If you haven't had a chance to visit One Kings Lane we hope you will do so. There are so many great items for sale at amazing prices.

Wishing all of you a wonderful week!

What Kind of A Shopper Are you?

The discussion topic in the office today is shopping. We discovered that we are not shoppers and that when forced to shop (usually out of necessity) we tend to have buyer's remorse. What kind of shopper are you? Are you the bargain hunter, always ready to find a great deal? How about the super dedicated shopper who will spend the entire day buying anything and everything? Possibly the window shopper...always looking but never really making a purchase. Do you prefer Internet shopping, sitting in your PJs and waiting for all your boxes of goodies to arrive? When it comes to holidays are you the frantic last minute shopper or are you already prepared for Christmas though it's only February? As a group of non-shopping women, we are curious to see how everyone else does it.

Have a fantastic Monday!

A Very Blustery Day

Two days ago I was basking in the sun wearing flip-flops, now...not so much. The temperature dropped when the rain came in and now I (like so many others) just want to curl back into bed and hibernate til Spring! But not today, today there is a winner to be announced!
