Fun and Fascinating ~ Friday Finds!

Oh, have we got something to show you! While on a quest to find unique, one-of-a-kind pendants and rings on Etsy, we came across this Island Pixie shop! Take a looksy at the deliciously-cute, handmade "dessert jewelry" that they sell...

Which one do you love the most?....Ice cream or cupcakes? Can't decide? Well, you can enjoy BOTH of them with this Watermelon Ice Cream Cupcake Pendant! What a pretty and colorful way to "celebrate your love of sweets"!



Yum! Yum! This pretty little darling looks almost good enough to eat with its fluffy vanilla frosting and candy sprinkles. The Crazy Confetti Cake Slice Pendant measures 3/4" inch in length...

Fresh from the oven, these mini Frosted Sprinkle Sugar Cookie Adjustable Rings will bring out the kid in you! You even get to choose which cookie you want...vanilla or strawberry. This is such a fun idea. We're loving it..

Hey, Divas! If you purchase jewelry from this shop and send in a photo of yourself wearing it, you will recieve FREE SHIPPING on your next order. Cool!

Have a fabulous, fun-filled Friday!

Bubblegum Yumminess......Friday Finds!

Fond memories of childhood return to us whenever we catch a whiff of yummy bubblegum. We can remember the fun of chewing, chomping, and blowing outrageously, ginormously, huge bubbles....and then waiting for them to burst. Oh, such fun! (The "not so fun" part was when we tried to get that sticky stuff off of our faces and out of our hair. Ouch!)

Needless to say, we still get cravings for a big wad of juicy bubblegum every now and then. Mmmm! You can never be too old to loooooove it.

That's why we are so excited to show you these amazingly-fun, bubblegum themed, must-haves....all from Etsy! We are totally smitten. Take a looksy....

Cotton Candy Bubblegum Shimmering Whipped Body Frosting from Pink Bow Bath Boutique....

Sweet Delight Divalicious Sample Boxes - New Site Launch

Back in October 2008, we posted a message here about a "secret project" that would be revealed. We said, "We have been busy (for months) working on something super-special to make our online community even better. Only a few of our diva members know what it is (because they were the ones who requested it - lol). As for the rest of you, we can't spill the beans yet or even give away a few tiny hints. Sorry. But, we WILL tell you that it is something that all of you divas will absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!

We are very excited about this and are working verrrrrrry hard to have everything ready by early 2009 - when we make our "big announcement". Until then, our lips (and the lips of our diva members) are sealed. This project is top secret."


Well, the time has come for us to share the news (that we've been keeping secret for almost a year). We are proud to announce the launch of our new sister site, Sweet Delight Divalicious Sample Boxes.



This site offers a unique avenue of advertising for independent business owners, in Canada and the USA, and promises to be one of the most fun and effective bi-monthly promotional campaigns on the web today. Best of all, it is free for e-tailers to participate. All you have to do is send in your samples and let us (the Delightful Divas) take care of the rest. These boxes are filled with approx. 10-15 (sometimes more) sample-sized products and will be mailed directly to the front door of hundreds of consumers, who otherwise would never have known about your business. We know the importance of good promotion and advertising and that is why we are committed to helping other entrepreneurs build their businesses, reach their goals, and get the recognition that they deserve. At Sweet Delight Divalicious Sample Boxes, we cater to a targeted audience and put your products into the right hands. This helps to drive more traffic and potential sales to your site.

Are you a trendy gal who loves to try before you buy? If so, then this box is definitely for you. You'll be able to sample unique handcrafted items, from a variety of contributing online businesses, before committing to the full sizes. How great is that! You'll receive sample-sized bath and body products, candles, jewelry, fashion accessories, and more. If it's glam, girly, and gorgeous.....it'll be be found in the Sweet Delight Divalicious Sample Box. Take one peek inside and you'll know why we call it “Divalicious”.

Join us for our debut in March '09! There are lots of companies already signed-up to participate in the first-ever Sweet Delight Divalicious Sample Box.....and yes, boxes will be going fast! Promote independent businesses and be a part of the ever-growing “Diva-Movement” by purchasing a box or by being a contributor. Don't forget that when you buy a box, your name will be entered into a draw to win a sample box from the next campaign. Woot!

This grand opening event is going to be huge! So, don't miss out. For more information, please visit our new sister site or stay tuned to our blog, Delightful Divas In Business, for continued updates.

Divas *heart* handmade!
