Boutiques Exclusive is a group of around thirty clothing and accessory designers with a few things in common: we are all women-owned small businesses who are dedicated to bringing amazing handmade items into the market place. We have joined forces in an effort to get our work recognized by a wider audience than one small business alone can reach. We have an active Facebook page and group with other social media presence on Instagram and occasionally Twitter and Pinterest too, so wherever you hang out, you will likely be able to find us! Let's meet one of our designers! Viv & Olive Jodi is the woman behind Viv & Olive a brand of fun and colorful chunky and dainty bubblegum bead necklaces, bracelets, key chains, purse charms/backpack bling and rear view mirror charms! All of her designs are whimsical and Jodi agonizes over the millions of bead and bling choices at her disposal to create jewelry and accessories that both kids and parents adore!

To ensure that all links work properly, please join the Boutiques Exclusive Facebook Group . Without further ado,here are 10 tips for making the most out of handmade boutique sales and purchases. Don't be afraid to pair pants with dresses or short sleeve dresses over long sleeve tops. Next year the "dress"can be a "tunic". This is also a great way to combat the cooler weather while giving her the twirl factor she loves.  Pick items with similar colors. This expands your outfit options by allowing you to mix and match pieces. Sew Munchkin  Leaf Pile Deeley Anne Designs  Fall Cornucopia necklace
