lark.



This is a project in the making...something I've desired to do for a long time! I want to have my own line of "stuff". Starting with a few basics (jewelry) this fall, but hope to gravitate back into the apparel world soon!

Stay tuned!

bracelets, bracelets, bracelets

Whether they are elastic, metal cuffs, leather, or beaded---something on the wrist is a must!! Here are just a few items we will be carrying this fall...

At prices from $10-$38--you won't want to pass these by!





::the technology of it all~~is it worth it?::

I consider myself a fairly organized, administrative individual that LOVES details!!

But in preparing to have the greatest 4th quarter EVER---I have decided to plan out the rest of the year in all my tasks, items needed, etc. In doing so--here are just a few things that I have had to set up or change over the last few days.

Let me just mention, that this time--I have no excessive funding--so I'm doing everything myself!!

1. Bank Account (s)
2. CC Processing Information
3. Blog--THIS BLOG
4. Buy the domain thebluelark.com
5. Set up email for the blue lark.com
6. Transfer domain for domain to THIS BLOG until I find the time to create a website.
7. New Facebook Account, Need to beg my old Sweet Tee fans to "like" The Blue Lark.
8. New Twitter Account--and it MUST be linked to the above.
9. Imonggo-Online POS System. It's basically free.
10. Researched a POS Cash Drawer and Receipt Printer that is compatible with my Mac.
11. Design & Create postcards & stickers and send to Gotprint.com (very cool, inexpensive printing site).

I won't mention all the things I STILL have to do.

O.k...I'm sure you are very bored in reading this if you even made it this far--however; there is a lot more that goes into "the blue lark" than meets the eye!

I would like to add that I am doing it all with a grateful and joyful heart that I get to do what I do!

I'm doing it!!

O.k...sooo hear is the skinny..

~I originally started as Sweet Tee Couture in appx 2006
~I was sued for trademark infringement in 2008
~I went to work for Dillard's as an accessories buyer in October 2008.
~I left Dillard's in August 2009.
~I continued the use of the name Sweet Tee Couture until--well, today..
~I decided to create a new type of brand to use at shows "the blue lark"
~I decided to create my own accessories line "lark"
~~I was asked to have a "store" within a store in Oxford, MS in April.

I turned it down originally, but decided that fear was the only thing holding me back, sooooo..

~~~~~~~~~~I'm doing it!!~~~~~~~~~~~

~I will arrive in Oxford, Mississippi the first of August and be located inside Ellie James Boutique on the Oxford square.
~I will also continue to do the Holiday Show Circuit beginning in September!

The rest is still unwritten....

Our Vendors

I certainly don't think I have the corner on the market--but I get a lot of folks asking about vendors and items we use!

So, I decided I would keep it all documented online so that I would have a place to refer ya'll to. And in case I forget ;).

1. Gotprint.com--Printing for our postcards & labels--Fast & Inexpensive & allows you to do a little of the designing or upload an image from a graphic artist.
2. Acme Display--Where I got my awesome hangers. While I'm a fan of creating displays out of existing items (furniture, serving trays, etc)--they have everything from mannequins to jewelry displays.
3. Thecutestsiteontheblock.com. I haven't used them yet--but they also look inexpensive, quick & easy.
4. Imonggo.com--Our Online POS system--Still be determined on it's uses.
5. cocodot.com--haven't used this either--but it looks like a great online invitation site--like an upgraded Evite. Definitely plan to use for trunk shows, etc.


We will keep you posted as we add more items!
