There are times during your business journey when you need to stop and take stock of how you go about your business. Just as it’s important to do a stock take count at the end of each finacial year it’s also important to do a check on yourself and how you manage each aspect of running the business.

Below are a couple of sites which are helpful with tips and suggestions and generally a sensible guide to keeping yourself on track with business matters.
Word Constructions is for all your writing needs, and has a helpful article discussing Crucial Planning Ahead For Problems
Modern Goddess Online Encourages and supports women in business, and currently has a great article Business Success Factor

Pavement Masterpieces of Julian Beever

Posted on by May 28, 2015

I couldn’t resist posting these photos of some amazing pavement art. I didn’t want to flood my EP’s Treasures blog with them so I’ve added some here to share with my EP designs’ friends. Take a look at these creations – great talent, great imaginations, entertaining and a fabulous photo opportunity….. how could you resist.

…… white water rafting …. I hope he’s a friendly croc…

…. someone should clean up this mess…..

… it’s a long way down…

…. artist’s reflection

…. just adding the finishing touch?……..

… nice way to cool off…..

…. soar high on eagles wings….

…… the big catch that got away?…..

…… watch where you step…..

This is not a new concept I know – they’ve been doing them for years but I find myself marvelling at them every time these photos come my way. If you enjoyed these pavement artworks then take a look at my EP’s Treasures Blog for more amazing works by Julian Beever or go directly to his web site.

Ciao for now,

Gifts and Homewares Fair

Posted on by May 28, 2015

It’s that time of year for the Gifts & Homewares trade show in Melbourne. Although I haven’t recovered fully from my ailments I couldn’t let this trade show pass by without making an appearance. It’s one of my favourite business activities where I’m on the lookout (along with thousands other retailers) for new products to add to my range at EP Designs.

It’s exhausting work and my feet may not forgive me for a while but it’s now over. I am so looking forward to recovering completely so that I can take up my creative work again and tackle my web site once and for all. I will be listing items on eBay soon plus I’ll be looking at trying out another auction site too.

Stay tuned for more EP Designs’ news.

Beautiful Things

Posted on by May 28, 2015

I love decorative homewares and that is part of what my home based business is all about. In addition to my own decorative work I’m always searching for beautiful decor items to add to the EP Designs range of products.

Although I’m having to pause my business ativities for a short while due to health reasons I find that I can’t rest completely, and still have an eye on the lookout for beautiful items. Here are a few pieces currenty in my range and have been available via my ‘Exhibition an Sale’.

An elegant cranberry glass bowl ……

Exquisite procelain urn/potpourrie jar …..

Ornate & decorative – matching teapot and urn/tureen ……. classic, elegant, beautiful.

I’m hoping I’m well enough to go the Gift & Home wares Trade show this coming weekend. I look forward to discovering new products so I can add to my range of decorative home wares.

Ciao for now, Elena :)
