multi-color scarf

just wanted to post a quick example of a multi-colored scarf.  i don’t post samples of each color combo because each scarf is different and the sample wouldn’t be a true representation of the item.  besides…isn’t using your imagination much more fun?  the possibilities are endless!

free stuff is always good!

25Oct11

So, yes …I am on maternity leave and I want to thank everyone for being so understanding as we try to adjust to life with 3 girls, ages 3, 1 & brand new! I will be taking a limited number of holiday orders, so if you are interested just shoot me an email to jmelcena@gmail.com and we can work out the details. I just wanted to take a minute and share with you about the launch of my friend’s new blog.  Kelly Moore is always in the know of all things fabulous and she is giving stuff away left and right! To celebrate launching her new blog, she has lined up some great stuff to give away to some very lucky folks. J.Melcena is proud to be a part of her celebration.  Head on over and snatch yourself up one of her great bags (good luck deciding which one you want…or just get a few!) And good luck in the giveaway. Congratulations, Kelly! I’m so proud of your growing business …you rock!

I may have time to fill a few fall/holiday orders, so don’t hesitate to email me. I thank y’all for your patience and support as we welcome home baby girl #3…miss clara jane.

Katie May is having a trunk show featuring her beautiful Bella Donnas as well as some great hats, shirts, bags, etc…along with some other great items handmade by her friends. These would be great unique Christmas gifts. I know I would be excited to get anything from there as a gift. (Hint,hint)…for more details and photos of these fabulous one of a kind items, please visit http://belladonnabykt.wordpress.com.

big news!

18Nov10

first off, i want to thank everyone that came out and supported all of the local people at our first annual holiday home show market.  it was a great, fun day!  secondly, i want to let everyone know that the downtown christmas market has been cancelled.  i will be doing a show in the classroom of the delhi hospital on thursday, december 2 from 130-430 if you are in the area and want to stop by.

the biggest news i have is that i have had some interest in doing a few trunk shows, so i’ve started scheduling some.  the trunk show will be very informal and will consist of you inviting your friends over, me coming to set up some scarves, you providing food and/or drinks, and people stopping by to shop.  sounds like a fun time to me.  the hostess benefits i am offering until the end of december are:

$100 show – hostess gets 10% off of her order
$200 show – hostess gets 20% off of her order
$300 show – hostess gets 30% off of her order
$400 show – hostess gets 40% off of her order                                                                                    $500+show – hostess gets 50% off of her order!

i’m thinking that the only way i could give you any better gift for christmas  is if i gave you the scarves for free!  so, let me know if you are interested and we will try to set up a date.  spaces are limited, so let me know as soon as you decide.

thanks so much!

love always~ j.m.

it’s baaaaack!

06Sep10

what’s back?  why,  scarf season of course!  i’ve been working hard to get ready for this year’s busy season.  i’ve got lots of new color combos in the works and i can’t wait to show them to ya’ll.  i can also make custom scarves for any occasion.  i have tons of yarn (you wouldn’t even believe how much if i told you) just waiting to be made into YOUR scarf.  they are great gifts for everyone on your list.  i can match whatever outfit you have and also can make any school spirit scarf you need.  get your orders in now…it’s about to get busy.  i can’t wait!

here’s an example of a school spirit scarf.  this is my cousin, kara, and her little cutie, eva-catherine, modeling the scarf inspired by kara for her alma mater, northwestern state univeristy.  aren’t they fab?

NSU
