I am so grateful for these opportunities I have been given. Not only has Jo's Vintage Werks moved into 2 more locations, Country Rose Boutique, Norco and The Little Back House, San Dimas, I now have a new line of certified organic body soap and foaming hand soap that I sell in my shopify store online as well as Etsy, Yucaipa, and the San Dimas shop. I've also adding many more home décor items with the hopes of incorporating these lovely new items with beautiful pieces of furniture, that have been repurposed and re-loved . So very blessed to be in the best stores ever!
It is all very exciting, but it can also be extremely challenging at times. This is where time management becomes very important and an extremly patient husband, who tolorates my stress tantroms, not even exagerating, I can be the biggest stress monster that ever lived. I seriously lean on Joey for ideas, carpentry, helping me with furniture runs and deliveries (including u-haul rentals at times), and his tremendous muscles moving furniture, the list goes on and on. He is packaging soap as I sit and write this blog, not kidding. Seriously, he some how always knows what my vision is even though I am the worst charades partner that has ever lived.
I am ending this year with a grateful heart and I am making lists and setting goals for next year and I'll be working harder than ever to make this little business of mine grow, from these lips to God's ears, can I get an amen!
So, I will sign off for now, and as Frasier Crane (my favorite show of all time) would say "thanks for listening" I know I am THAT corny.

]]>I will not be selling the items on my website instead, I’ve chosen to sell at local community events and on social media so keep an eye out for announcements.
I also wanted to say that I am truly blessed to have a husband who loves and supports me in all I do and who puts up with all my bossy instructions. He clearly is not a mind reader and I do need to work on remembering that. Hey I’m trying.
In closing, I’d just like to say I hope we all will not lose sight of what Christmas is really about. For me personally it’s about celebrating our loving God and Jesus Christ our Savior. That truly is the most precious gift we could ever receive.
I hope you all will keep an eye out on my website and also remember to follow me on Facebook and Instagram.
Wishing you all a special Thanksgiving and a wonderful Christmas!
Best,
JoAnn
]]>It was a perfect summer evening. We set up under a huge Pine tree where we enjoyed a lovely breeze. We had a front row seat to the stage where a pretty cool band was playing some oldies but goodies. It was great to see so many families come out with the kids to enjoy the atmosphere, food and time outdoors. We met a lot of really nice people who were also working at the Farmers Market.
I had an overwhelming sense of pride to be a part of this event and our community. We can't say enough to thank all the great folks that stopped by to chat for a while and purchase some of our items. I also want to thank my friends and family that came out to support us and to those who were unable to make it, I greatly appreciate you getting the word out to friends and family.I am truly humbled by your kindness and support.
We can't wait to work the Covina Farmers Market again this month. We will let you know dates through social media, and we hope you will join us.
Until next time, love what you do!

We wanted to thank all our friends and family that came out yesterday and joined us in Upland. We had a great time and met some really nice people. Can't wait for the next event scheduled on July 14, 2018. We will keep you posted with information as it draws near.
