Introducing FreshJess for Mapel

As if my life weren't crazy enough, this holiday season I'm launching my guest blogs for Mapel, a sweet boutique based in the picturesque Leavenworth, WA. I'm incredibly passionate about supporting local small businesses in any way I can - so I'm more than happy to share a few great things about Mapel through my writing.

A few fun facts about Mapel:

• Mapel shares signature chocolate truffles from local Leavenworth chocolatier, Schocolat. Alongside the truffles, Seattle artist Sanae Ishida has designed illustrations that effortlessly depict the compliment of everyday day life and chocolate decadence.
• Every day from 2 - 6 p.m. you can enjoy amazing deals with Mapel's Online Happy Hour. Check the beer icon on Mapel's home page or Mapel's Twitter and Facebook page for the daily deal!
• You'd be hard pressed to find anything at Mapel over $200, so you can knock a lot of holiday shopping there without busting your wallet too much.
• Mapel offers FREE Shipping via ground for all web orders.

Visit ShopMapel's blog for posts from me throughout the holiday season. I'll be highlighting products for the urban, romantic, sporty, business and vintage girls in your life, holiday gift guides, designer features and more, all showcasing Mapel's variety of clothing, accessories, men's and home items.

I'd love your comments there, including any feedback on any Mapel things you want me to post on in the future!

Happy shopping - and happy holidays!
