Daydreams Specialties is a dream come true Jola Streifel thought every day about what kind of business she’d like to start while working 15 years for FedEx. She was on her phone constantly, testing her ideas with her parents and friends. It was nine years ago she entered the specialties business and with the advice of her dad, she naturally called it, Daydreams Specialties. Streifel maintained fulltime work while starting with laser engraving in the basement of her house. For two years this went well and she attended craft shows until she added digital screen printing and embroidery. At that point she needed her first store front, which was located near South Washington Street. Not too much longer and her business was busting at the seams of the 600square foot retail space. Now Daydreams Specialties is located at 1501 11th Ave. N. She has increased her embroidery business

popular to wear during the year, whether Uggs or the multitude of knock-off brands available, may be unhealthy for your feet, say experts. That’s because the boots and similar shoes and slippers provide virtually no support for the arch of the foot. Individuals who have a low arch to begin with may experience further flattening of the arch
and resulting foot trouble. What’s more, these shoes also do not provide much support around the ankle or any other part of the foot for that matter. The foot is simply able to slide around in the boot. Eventually this lack of support can cause foot pain, which may travel up the legs into the hip and back.
Popular shoes can damage women’s feet

For years foot doctors and orthopedists have been chastising women for wearing high heels because of the myriad foot ailments that can result. However, it seems a popular flat shoe can cause a host of foot, back and hip trouble in its own right. Sheepskin boots that are

The secret to trading your designer stash for cash
MetroCreative
Whether you dream of the day you’ll fit into that designer dress again, or you’re the type who loves to shop and never wear something twice, we all have clothes, handbags, shoes, and accessories, staring back at us from our closets that we’re not likely to wear in public again. For those in the know, getting rid of old outfits can prove as lucrative as it is liberating. For nearly 20 years, Marci Kessler has collected high-end designer apparel and accessories from the rich and famous, and anyone with new or gently worn clothing that they no longer want or need. Her DoubleTake Consignment Boutique in Short Hills, New Jersey sells quality designer and couture clothing and accessories, fine watches, jewelry, shoes and handbags on consignment for the most discerning fashionistas. Business has been so good, that DoubleTake is now accepting merchandise from throughout the nation to fill four new stores opening in 2010. Items must be presently stylish, and less than two years old. “I never anticipated such an overwhelming response,” Kessler says. “From day one we’ve had a steady continuous stream of beautiful designer merchandise that comes from people in every imaginable situation, and because we
have such a high turnover rate through fast sales in our stores, we’ve built up a base of over 10,000 regular consignors.” For those with a large collection of luxury apparel, DoubleTake offers a “Consignment Concierge” service, unlike any other local boutique. A personal consignment concierge will travel to your home to expertly assess the value of your collection, and arrange to transport items to their stores. When items are sold, 50 percent of the sales price is paid to the consignor. “Our consignors love the convenience of getting a check, or having funds held in an account from which they can draw from to buy merchandise,” says Kessler. Savvy shoppers can build a substantial wardrobe of world-class designer apparel, and consistently sport the latest fashions at a fraction of their original cost. “Thousands of our best customers opt for instant text messages and e-mails to keep informed of when new merchandise comes in,” says Kessler. If you have one or more items for DoubleTake to consider, or would like to browse some of the luxury designer apparel and accessories available at substantial savings, please visit www.edoubletake.com.
