Where did you get that bag?

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Where did you get your bag?

This question gets asked of my hubby all the time.

WHAT YOU SAY?

Doesn’t everyones hubby carry their purple ruffle handbag?I had back surgery recently,and my hubby has been carrying my bag for me.I am carrying a pouchee inside my
purple purse,so that i can take it in and out when the hubster isn’t available to carry my bag.

Pouchees are the greatest thing since Lancome mascara! You can stick them inside your bag, and when you want to switch bags

you just pull out your pouchee and switch it to another bag!I am loving the combination of my sexy purple purse,and my

convenient lightweight pouchee! Next time my husband gets asked where he got his bag I hope he man ups and tells them!

How to freshen up your party!

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

No cash has made most Michiganders a little more careful when we entertain. Some peeps are doing bring your own parties, some peeps are just cutting back. We have amassed a ton of new items that will help you to freshen your party. From cocktail napkins to inexpensive wine glasses there are a bunch of easy, inexpensive ways to brighten up your party.

The easiest and most inexpensive way to get people laughing is to serve drinks on funny cocktail napkins. They are typically inexpensive, and a package has enough napkins to use more than once if you are having a small party.

You can also use them sparingly like on the first drink you serve only. This will cut down on the number used, but still get people talking. Our most popular set of cocktail napkins is the one below, but you can do anything from a racy napkin, to a themed napkin, to a funny one.

Another fun way to update your existing party supplies is to add something unusual to the party. Whether it is a game to be played, name tags that you can make before the party, or fun themed ice cubes all are inexpensive!

One of the things we do when hosting a social event is we premake ice cubes in a fun theme. You can buy all kinds of ice cube trays at the dollar store,and use them for your event. We offer some fun reusable ice cubes in the shape of high heel shoes,but you can do a lot of different themes for cheap!

Finally, an inexpensive thing that will save your coffee table from rings, and your friends from sharing drinks is fun wine coasters.

We offer several different options, but some fun ones for summer are the High Heel Sandal Coasters
In conclusion, entertaining doesn’t have to be expensive, and you can add some inexpensive accessories to your party to update it and make it fun!

Jewelry Trends at The Bling Thing Stretch Rings

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

One of the hottest new trends in fun bling jewelry is the Stretch Ring. Stretch rings have become one of the hottest selling pieces in our store The Bling Thing .People love the versatility of the sizing, different styles, and most importantly the inexpensive pricing.

First of all, the rings come in so many different styles, you will certainly find one you like!

The styles i have seen range from the stackable rhinestone ring, that can be stacked one on top of another to create a wider ring, to the flower petal rings,to peace sign rings!Stretch ringThese make great Christmas gifts because not only do they not need to be sized, they are also cheap!

Because they stretch,they will fit almost anybody. Retailers don’t have to stock a bunch of sizes.
Also, because the ring stretches, anyone with swelling problems (pregnant, arthritis, too much salt at lunch,etc), can wear the ring comfortably!petal ring
Finally, while i am sure you can find more expensive stretch rings, we have made a conscious effort to stock only stretch rings ranging in prices from $4- $25. We also have matching bracelets for many of these rings.
Stop by The Bling Thing, We are located at 131 E.Michigan Ave, in Saline ,Mi. We’ll roll out the red carpet!
