Lady Jessica - Everything Eclectic

I found another cool Mom on TwitterMoms. Check out our interview...

Tell us about yourself?

I'm a SAHM and have two boys that are older but still drive me nuts, 2 cats, 5 chickens and lots of cars. Out of those cars 4 are vintage that we show occasionally. I love to sail! I've been sailing since I was about 2. I love blogging, crafts, decorating, and renovating. I love to laugh and I hope to go to England REEEEAL soon!

What do you consider your greatest accomplishment?

Right now, it's got to be getting our pool opened and getting the filtration system going.....if you only knew................!

Tell us about your blog?

My blog is mostly what goes on inside my brain during the course of the day! Being home most of the time, I have plenty of time to think....alot.....and I have to get it out. Some of it can be alittle rowdy, other times just goofy. I do have another blog, that's more passive, for those serious moments or enlightenments.

Tell us about your web store;

My webstore, Everything Eclectic, is just that. It's a comglomerate of different things. From Pampered Chef to LEFTON Figurines to electronics. I also have a section that is for blog links. This is in hopes that people who visit the site can click on some blogs and give some of my followers some exposure. I also have a "FEATURED BLOGGER" page that I hope to get up and running soon. AND...if any of my followers that has a link there they can post a blog as well if they're having a giveaway or special or an insight to something that might help others out.

What type of items do you sell?

All sorts! Like I mentioned above, I have Pampered Chef, Partylite, some electronics, household, collectibles, Stampin' Up.....and the inventory changes. So what I have for a couple months will change periodically.

Where do you get the items you sell?

Various places. Mostly flea markets and garagesales....lol, my house. You have to know your values and what's hot and what people are looking for in today's market. Sometimes I hit, sometimes I don't. Trends change so fast!

How has the response been so far?

Promoting a webstore on the internet is hard, reeeeal hard. I'm not that savvy in eCommerce. Google boggles my mind. Some social media sites are very complicated and don't make sense, not user friendly. So far, I've gotten a couple people to register with the site. I'm working with word of mouth, a couple social networking sites, blog sites and Twitter. But it's only been a couple days. I'm such an instant gratification person, I need to learn patience.

Anything else you'd like to add?

What I'm doing is combining my love of blogging with honest selling. I'm not out to collect your information and use it to my advantage. I'm not like that. If you purchase something from me, or just want to add a blog, that's exactly all that will happen. I don't have an "Add To Cart" button yet because that would entail upgrading on Freewebs and I'm not at that point financially to do that. So how I have it set up is the easiest and best way I can proceed with purchases.
