Mom Blends Heirloom Beauty and Modern Practicality in Creative Online Business
As a young girl, Jennifer Hudson learned a love of sewing from her grandmother and mother.
Her self-employed father built houses for a living.
Being raised by two self-employed parents fostered a caring bond she wanted for her own family.
Hudson left the real estate/mortgage industry to stay home with her two daughters.
"My dad built houses and I decided to create hand-made treasures to transform a house into a home," she declared.
One evening her daughter was playing a "let's make up silly words" game and called her father a "strawberry?potato."
He responded "You're a Taterberry!"
The name for Hudson's home business was born.
In June 2004, Hudson opened Taterberry Cottage to showcase traditional children's clothing by Alex & Ari and Lucy Pearl.
"The apparel is reminiscent of heirlooms one might find in grandma's attic," states Hudson.
In addition to the romantic feel of such pieces, Hudson wanted to offer items both comforting and practical.
Top selling custom made Rice Patties protect your table while soothing the senses.
Folks personalize this gift by choosing a special fabric and favorite scent.
All products in ?the cottage' are designed with a country character reminiscent of a visit to Grandmum's Cottage.Recently relocated to the Everett/Mukilteo area, Taterberry Cottage has added more nostalgic products.
Little Girls' Pearls, Sweetheart Rice Patties, Fabric Coasters, and Hudson's favorite, Pearl's Girls Dolls.
"I so enjoy creating The Pearl's Girls fabric dollies knowing I'm making a child's special friend," Hudson said.
She recalls the excitement and joy of her own childhood doll, now passed on to her daughter.
"She takes my doll everywhere and shares with it her most secret thoughts," she smiled.
The Pearl's Girls Dolls are lovingly made to foster similar memories for other little girls.Alex and Ari's hip, glamour products appeal to today's fashion conscience parents.
More wonders are in store as Hudson's versatile product line unveils stylish purses, handbags, and totes.

Double The Storage Space In Your Bedroom Closet
Everyone needs more storage space, right? Well a good closet organizer can double the storage space in your closet and make it easier for you to find just what you need.There's 2 basic types of closet organizers. One is actually more like closet furniture and has built in drawers cubbies and of course poles to hang your clothes. These can run you quite a bit of money but do a great job to organize and beautify your closet and will be durable enough to last a long time. A less costly alternative is found in wire closet organizers that offer almost the same amount of organization but aren't as pretty and may not wear as well. Both kinds will work with a walk in closet or a simple reach in closet.When buying an organizer system for you closet, you want to keep in mind what kind of clothing you have and how much of it.
Do you have tons of shoes, but not a lot of shirts? Then you'll want more storage units for shoes. If you have a lot of hats, scarves and purses, make sure you design...

Gucci Jackie-O that you know your friends will drool over .
You got a huge discount off of the hefty
retail price and you're feeling pretty good about yourself.

Handbags, Purses and Toolboxes, Oh My!
Never send a man to do a woman's job.
You'd think I would have figured that out by now, but I haven't made my quota of mistakes just yet.Somehow I got it into my head to buy my friend a handbag.
It seemed simple enough.
I've never had a problem buying toolboxes, cabinets or file folders, so how hard would it be to pick up a handbag?"I would like to buy a handbag for a friend, please.""What kind of handbag," the smiling sales lady asked helpfully."Uh...one that carries stuff in it, I suppose.
Is there any other kind?""There are very many kinds," SalesLady enthused.
"There is at least one for every occasion and several for every personality.
What is your friend like?"I tried to think.
Unfortunately, the only thought that wandered into my cerebrum was that maybe I should go across the street to the hardware store and just buy her a sturdy 205-piece socket set on sale for $74.99."Is she a bit wild?" SalesLady probed.
