Wow, I cannot believe I failed to mention my new store!!! If The Paw Fits, my unique pet supply store has a permanent physical location! We are now located at Twigs Unique Gifts at 105 East Rutherford Street in Landrum, SC. I am so appreciative of Barbara, owner of Twigs, in giving me this opportunity to own my own piece of the American Dream! Twigs is 3 levels of the most awesome items! The bottom floor is designer consignment clothing, the middle level is unique gifts, and the top level is for vendors who want to rent a booth for their store. When you are on the middle level and look up the stairs you can see If The Paw Fits. We spent all weekend getting our displays set up and ready for sales. At If The Paw Fits, we try to cater to small dogs and provide items not found in big chain or small pet stores. Also, we are adamant about keeping our prices at a level that everyone can afford. If you have a small dog, you should stop by and see all of the wonderful items I have in there, and please, TELL YOUR FRIENDS! If you do not have a small dog, just stop by and let me know how I did in setting up, then browse around the other levels for neat gifts!
I am so grateful to God in allowing me this chance to own my own business, and doing something I enjoy, which of course is anything dog related! I am so blessed in my career life! For the last 15 years I have had a great opportunity to establish a good reputation in the accounting field, and even opened Team Accounting which caters to small businesses needing a bookeeper once or twice a month.
However, I really have felt for the past few years that my heart was with these animals. I have pondered the ways to move my career into a position where my dogs will pay me a "salary" (haha that is funny). Anyone who has ever raised puppies knows that if you do it right, you will not make any money in it. Therefore, Team Kennels will probably always be in the red, but it brings so much joy in my life that it is worth it. If The Paw Fits gives me the chance to purchase items for my dogs, to put in my puppy packages, and to sell to the public while making a dime. It has done very well online and at craft shows, but I have dreamed of having it located in a store, where people can have the chance to browse, or ask for special orders. The Lord has answered that dream, and I hope and pray that I can create a great place for people to shop!
THE LORD IS SO GOOD TO ME, I do not know why He loves me and blesses me like He does, but I want to give Him ALL OF THE GLORY for the things He has done and things He will do!
