Vendor Alley - Featuring Karen Weber (Epicure)

June 26th is shaping up to be a marvelous day of scrapbooking and cardmaking with purpose. All profits go to Ovarian Cancer Canada Winner's Walk of Hope, so we are anticipating great things with our increased numbers.

  A new experience for participants this year is our Vendor Alley. Since we have shifted location, we are able to spread our wings a little and we have invited local and other business folk to come share the day with us and offer their wares.

Don't worry, there will be no high pressure sales; just opportunities to see what's out there and make purchases at your leisure if you like.

First on the block is our new Epicure Rep, Karen Weber. Karen Weber [formally Timmerman] hails from the Drayton area and now lives in Elmira with her hubby Randy and is the busy mother of a three year old, two year old, and a new baby born in April!

Karen is an Independent Epicure consultant with Epicure Selections, which is a 100% Canadian owned and operated company. Epicure's main product is spice blends.

I asked Karen to offer us a few details about her products and she was more than pleased to describe some of the items she sells. 

"Some of Epicure's top sellers," says Karen, "are the Cheese, Chives & Bacon dip, the 3 Onion dip, Salsa blend, Summer Berry fruit dip, and the Beef & Steak Seasoning."

They sound pretty tempting to this particular palate! Karen tells me there are so many different spice blends to choose from. 

 "My personal favorite," says Karen, "is the Pizza Seasoning.  Not only do I use it on my pizza, but in my  pasta, and on my chicken."

 Karen usually sells Epicure products at home parties. If anyone wants to find out about holding a party at their home or business, then you can talk to her about a booking.

Karen understands the busyness of our days and how sometimes it seems impossible to set up or attend an Epicure event, so she does say she takes individual orders whenever the need arises.

There are a few tempting incentives for hosting an Epicure party, if you do have the time, including  a free tote bag, 1/2 price items, and monthly hosting specials!

 Karen invites anyone interested to check out the Epicure website   www.epicureselections.com for more information.

 I asked Karen why she wanted to be part of Zeal for Teal on June 26th. Her reply spoke volumes about her compassion for those dealing with cancer.

 "My heart goes out to those who have suffered and are suffering with cancer.  My prayer is that this [Zeal for Teal] day will be for the Lord's Glory."

 Karen is donating an amazing prize - an Epicure Selection's goodie bag with three selected spice blends inside, as well Epicure's well known Bruschetta herbs. How generous is that?

 The Sunflower Seeds Team is thrilled to have Karen on board (and with a new baby in arms, yet!)
