Mompreneurs

OK, yes, I hate the word "mompreneur", but I think those that are such are awesome. Love that there are so many right here in the Queen City!! A few I think you should check out: Kersnickety Clothing (ahhdorable things for your little ones), Multiple Blessings (fantastic finds for the home), and Bow Buddies (genius!!). Are there others that QC Buzz readers should know about? Email us about them, or post on our Facebook page!

Just a Week Boutique

Two such mompreneurs started Just a Week Boutique earlier this year, and their Fall Sale is this weekend. Here's all you need to know for a fun shopping adventure:

"Just a Week Boutique is holding their second sale September 20-22 in Pineville.  We will be located in The Centrum Shopping Plaza, right across the street from The Carolina Place Mall (next door to Kmart).  We will be open for volunteers, consignors, new mommies, and pre-sale pass winners on Wednesday, September 19.  All proceeds from consignor registrations will be donated to The Isabella Santos Foundation, and we will be having a "juice box drive" to benefit Bright Blessings!  We will have a great selection of fall/winter clothing, toys, equipment, bedding, and more!  We will also have a few vendors, including Mary Kay, Thirty-One, and custom children's bows!  Donated items will be given to Baby Bundles!  Come out and join us!"

Have a wonderful week!!

Blessings,
The Buzz
