I’m having a hard time opening the podcast. It downloads just fine but will not play. It says file type not found
I’m going to give it another try tomorrow to see if I can get it to work.
(do I just push listen to the show?)
December 12th, 2007 at 6:31 am
I had fun getting to chat with you Daria! Thanks for asking me to be part of your 3rd season!
December 12th, 2007 at 8:25 am
Hey everyone!
Thanks for having me back, Daria! It’s always fun to chat with you…..hey! Can I post to my own show?? I want to win a prize! :O)
December 12th, 2007 at 12:25 pm
Thanks for interviewing Mary Ann, I really enjoyed this show!
December 12th, 2007 at 1:02 pm
Such lovely comments!! Thanks everyone. Lace, I trust you’re able to download the show now. I know that we had a huge amount of traffic playing it last night so that’s likely why it was stalled. Let me know if you have trouble hearing. You can also listen via iTunes, and at podango.com
Cheers!!
December 12th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
I loved listening to all the ladies! It is great to hear about how they all got started! Very inspiring!!
Merry Christmas!
December 12th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
Finally got to listen by going to podango.
Toni – I started sewing because of the same reason. Although I only make dress up type clothes and fun stuff for my nieces.
Marianne – those bangles are amazing!
Daina – Great that those bags fit a few diapers and some wipes. We are getting out of the age where you have to take a whole bag with you. The bags are beautiful.
Great interview. I find it hard to answer what’s on your wish list. Mine might be a new book and a pair of pants.
That video Mp3 player would be great also.
December 12th, 2007 at 8:21 pm
I love the bangles at Pink Papillon. Thanks for highlighting these businesses.
December 12th, 2007 at 8:39 pm
I listened to the whole show. Toni’s story gives me inspiration that one day I can sew. Good interviews.
December 12th, 2007 at 8:59 pm
Wonderful interviews, as always, Daria! I enjoyed listening to all the energy and enthusiasm of the designers and business women. So inspiring!
Congrats, Toni, MaryAnn, Robin & Daina! Happy Holidays to you, Daria, and the Boutique Cafe listeners. May 2008 bring you all great success ($$$)!
December 12th, 2007 at 10:17 pm
What a great set of interviews! You all do such great work, I can’t wait to see what you all have planned this next year.
December 12th, 2007 at 10:55 pm
AWSOME.. and the giveaway is great too!!

December 13th, 2007 at 9:41 am
Great interviews! I wish I could be so talented.
December 13th, 2007 at 9:54 am
Awesome show Daria!! It’s hard to believe it’s been 3 years!! WOW!
December 13th, 2007 at 1:02 pm
Daria – if only I could be as smooth as you… You are what I aspire to be! Love what you do and who you are!!
December 13th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
very interesting show!
December 13th, 2007 at 1:37 pm
I absolutely loved listening to your podcast. So convenient for me and so nice to “get away” from the rest of the world! THANKS for being so wonderful!
December 13th, 2007 at 1:49 pm
Loved the interviews! So positive, and I just know women like those do not get interviewed nearly enough! Keep up the good work!
December 13th, 2007 at 1:58 pm
Very inspiring listening and did I mention I’m asking for a new player for Christmas!!! Thanks
December 13th, 2007 at 2:29 pm

December 13th, 2007 at 3:01 pm
It is always so wonderful to hear of successful women and moms!
December 13th, 2007 at 3:14 pm
WOW… you know I started sewing for the same reason… too much sense to spend and entire paycheck on ONE item that I could make for under a dollar out of the remnants barrel. LOL… I sell a little here and there and it’s good to know that if someone REALLY tries at it, they can make it! Maybe someday I’ll get enough umph to do more than dabble! Thanks so much!
December 13th, 2007 at 3:17 pm
Great show! Keep up the good work!
December 13th, 2007 at 3:30 pm
Great show, I loved Toni’s story. Kaboodle Kids has some very unique kids cloth. They are all great online shops.
December 13th, 2007 at 3:38 pm
Wish I was half as talented as these ladies!
December 13th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
I love moms who make the most of their passion. Thanks for sharing!
