Flower Show and Baby Cakes!



If you are out and about in New Jersey this Saturday head south to Cape May
for the annual Spring Flower Festival in Rotary Park.

For the 33rd  year, The Chamber of Commerce of Greater Cape May will transform Cape May’s Rotary Park into an open-air marketplace for the Spring Flower Festival on Saturday, April 28 (rain date April 29th ). This free outdoor event will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and features artisans and crafters displaying and selling accents and accessories for you, your home and your gardens as well as eco-friendly resources to help promote a Green Cape May. Rotary Park is located at the intersection of Lafayette Street and Lyle Lane between Jackson and Decatur Streets

Stop by and see us at the show.

Welcome





"The person who really wants to do something finds a way;
the other person finds an excuse."

       I have been saying for months that I wanted to start a blog. I have read that as a small business owner "blogging" is a must to keep in touch with customers and to increase traffic to your website. I like to research things before I move forward so I decided to spend a few hours on-line reading some blogs before even attempting my own. Not the best idea!! My excuses for putting off this endeavour only increased as I read many witty and well written blogs. That nasty excuse maker in my head formed many reasons not to blog: "I am not a very eloquent writer. English was not my cup of tea in school." " Do I really have anything important to say?" "I'm too busy pinning on Pinterest!"....and so on.
      Well, in an attempt to leave my comfort zone I have decided just to jump in feet first and give it a whirl. No more procrastinating. No more excuses. What have I got to lose,right? So here it is. My inaugural blog post. A big step outside the "box" in an attempt to rid myself of all those pointless and nonsensical excuses. My intent is that The Dandy-Lion Patch will provide news and updates for my website as well as highlight new products. I also hope to share my thoughts and ideas on crafting, sewing, motherhood, entrepreneurship and I guess whatever else comes to mind.
         So, Thank-You in advance for reading (and hopefully following) my blog. I am always open to content ideas as I embark on my first blogging experience!!
I hope you enjoy!
(Now, that wasn't so bad after all!!)
