FLIPPING good idea!

Hello again! 

May has arrived and is almost over, which means as each day comes and go, we are moving into the colder time of the year which got me thinking.... Catalogues and Coffee. 

Hang with me here... i tend to have a Grass Hopper Brain. 

Is there anything better then sitting in the sun on a cold winters day flicking through a catalogue and soaking up some real good Vitamin D....  Which now led me to.. 

WHY DOESN'T RHUBARB DO A CATALOGUE... 

As the shopper for Rhubarb i am continuously searching for those unique, outrageous, different, FANTASTIC or just down right AWESOME products.  I surely come across some weird and wonderful things and doing it all from home online, i tend to end up all over the world! 

Which now led me to another thought! 

It's impossible for me to provide you access to all these brilliant items i discover on my "window shopping" experiences, so i have come up with a FLIPPING good idea.. Flipping.. literally.. 

I feel like i almost need a drum roll here................. 

Each MONTH i will pick a supplier and create a catalogue to showcase all the great products they have to offer.  Each MONTH this catalogue will be distributed a number of different ways. 

Each month will be a different line of products. We will showcase anything from Costume Jewellery, Designer Jewellery, Home Decor, Gifts, Scarves and everything in between. 

This months catalogue 
- Putting your heart <3 into your home - 
is now OUT and can be viewed. 


Our first catalogue showcases everything you may desire to display in your home. Picture Frames to Towel Racks to Antique Genuine Leather Bags to Glass etc etc. 
It's all there! 

Being the owner, shopper, and the brains behind Rhubarb Boutique i tend to hold a great responsibility not to provide or offer you any products that i don't personally believe in. 
As much as i discover products from all over the globe, i tend to stick with an Australian Supplier. 

This Supplier is 1 of my favourites and i regularly stocked the shop with their products. Christmas, Birthday, or just making your house into a home. Their products are fantastic! 
I find that they are very well priced and brilliant quality! 



Creating this catalogue got me thinking..... 


Rhubarb is a small private owned business in a huge retail world. 
We compete with over sized, under priced and overseas business every day. 
It's not something i personally believe we will ever beat, but i do believe i can offer you all something different. 
Personal service... which made me think... 

We females love sharing, talking, catching up, socialising, however you may look it. We love to be around people. 

Rhubarb Boutique is looking for Catalogue Hosts. 

This means you become the host of the catalogue, distribute to as many or as little number of friends and family. You may choose to host a party, you may choose to send them all an email, or however you may want to do it, its up to YOU. 

Catalogue Hosts are rewarded with a discount depending on how many orders are placed under their name and to total amount of sales made. 

I will personally be available to help if and when required, so this makes it easier for you. 

Once orders are in - the products are shipped directly to your door. This will save $$ on shipping too. 

It's simple. 
You simply inform us you would like to become a host 
.
We then forward you the catalogue with host documents
.
Your guests pay direct to Rhubarb Boutique with their orders
.
You are advised how many sales were made under your name
.
A DISCOUNT IS APPLIED TO YOUR ORDER! 

You don't need to live in the district to become a host. Rhubarb is looking for Ladies all over!! 

If you may be interested make sure you make contact! 

No commitment needed!

Coat Hanger --> Scarves Hanger!

Hi! 

Today i am following on from yesterdays blog, "It's All About The Scarf".  

Before i start, i do have a question for you.... 

 Does your scarf draw look like my scarf draw?

It absolutely drives me bonkers! 

At the end of every Winter i seem to have multiplied my scarf collection by quite a bit .. (Whoops) ... and at the end of every Winter i wash all of my scarves, neatly fold them and put them all nice and neat in a draw. It looks really tidy for about as long as 27 seconds.

So this Winter i went on a mission to solve my problem.

 A storage solution that didn't have to cost money, take allot of time, and didn't have to change every year when i keep adding more scarves to my collection (being completely honest about my addiction).

My problem is solved! After googling, i found SO many ways to overcome this issue, but i particularly liked this one. 

1 coat hanger, your scarves and wherever you would like to hang them!

HOW SIMPLE!!! 

I have used timber coat hangers, but a plastic coat hanger would work just as good! 

I decided to colour co-ordinate the scarves on each hanger. You will find this will be easier to find that scarf you are looking for and will look neater in your wardrobe.

Don't have the room in your wardrobe? What about putting a couple of nails or hook on your wall and turn them into a feature in your room.

What about picking yourself up a cheap clothes rack from any major store and just displaying them on there?

Once you start looking for a spot to hang your scarves, you will be surprised at just how many you probably actually have. 

Even better..... YOU NOW HAVE ANOTHER DRAW! 

Who read this and went "WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS ! " ... 
Don't worry i did too!
