What I love most about the blogger, Facebook and Twitter-verse are the wonderful people that I’ve “met”. The inverted commas are there because I’m yet to meet in 3D most of the people with whom I chat with on an almost-daily basis. Yet, I really do feel like I know them. I liken it to my penpals I had when I was in primary school. Except this is way more fun than waiting weeks for a letter to arrive from the UK.
Anyway, the very important reason for my post … last year, the gorgeous Kate Fryer, from Katiebo, contacted me – via Twitter – to tell me about her online business. She had me at the word, bling, but I humoured her and kept on “chatting”. I loved that she had made good of a not-so-good job situation (GFC redundancy) and decided to create a business around something she was passionate about … bling that doesn’t cost a bucket load of money. {In fact, you won’t find anything over $50 on this site.} Since our initial chats, Kate’s made another big leap – from Perth city girl to Pilbara Princess - and I love hearing about her new life in the land of the red dirt. Just picturing her teetering in her heels through the aisles of the only shop in town – Woolworths – makes my day!
Katiebo is officially celebrating its 1st birthday tomorrow … and it’s also celebrating with a brand new website. The new Katiebo site has lots of exciting features, including a blog to keep you up to date with what’s happening in the world of fashion and accessories.
… but wait … there’s more. To celebrate this exciting milestone, Katiebo has a special birthday offer. Buy anything from the brand new website before midnight on Friday, July 16, and you will receive a 20% discount (enter BIRTHDAY at the checkout) … plus all orders will go into the draw to win a beautiful Katiebo necklace worth $49.95. Oh, and keep an eye on Facebook too for some other great competitions and prizes.
