Pow(erful)Wow Women!

Today I had the good fortune of getting together with a group of smart, positive women who all own and operate independent businesses. I've been selling on etsy for years now, and that format is very familiar to me. Selling on OpenSky is new and exciting, but I've found that, for me, there is a definite learning curve. Seasoned OpenSky seller, Pam Gillie of YasuJutaro, offered to help me learn the ropes. Our good friends, Pamela Schuckman and Denise Goodbar of Oak Lane Designs are also new to this selling community, so together we discussed, learned, questioned, and made ourselves a little unofficial local chapter of sellers.

I wanted to take the time to introduce these fabulous women to you, and let you peek inside their companies. 

Us, today.

Domestic Goddess Ltd., Tiffany Palisi

So, as the writer of this blog, I hope you are okay with my conversational tone (it seems odd writing about myself in a formal manner, after having started casually). Since October 2011, I have been creating hand-poured candles in my home state of New Jersey. I did it because I wanted to have a fulfilling career, while still being able to be home to care for my family. Having been raised on scents -- my father is a perfumer --  it was a natural step for me to make candles.
 
Our small team makes our own scents and labels, and each candle is hand-poured by me! I sell online, in stores, and do special orders (fundraisers, wedding/shower/birthday/bar and bat mitzvah favors).
