Debbie specialises in transforming oyster and scallop shells, naturally formed by the ocean and artistically enhanced by her, into stunning creations. Debbie's shell creations are unlike anything I've seen before. Her miniature works of art are utterly unique making them popular gift items. I was intrigued to learn about Debbie's process: how she acquires these shells, the artistic journey to transform them into art pieces, the time involved, and particularly, how she determines the pricing for such labour-intensive work. Debbie shares lots of information about how to price hand crafted items both for general and wholesale. Debbie's day job is running her PR Agency, Scott Communications, so she also shares her top tips for how small businesses can boost their PR.There is so much value packed in this punchy episode.An introduction to herself and her businesses (01:38)Debbie's products, crafting art from shells using decoupage, gold leaf and resin (02:41)Debbie's inspiration for working with shells this way (04:20)Moving from having a craft hobby to making it into a business (05:41)Selling her art via wholesale (07:32)Bespoke commissions (08:17)Working out how to price a unique piece of art (10:44)The importance of factoring in time when working out your pricing (11:23)Working out pricing for wholesalers (13:14)Sourcing her shells responsibly (13:44)Balancing pricing her art to cover her costs but also making it affordable (16:24)The practicalities of creating your product at home (16:54)The power of networking (20:10)Managing imposter syndrome (20:57)How to do well at markets (24:42)PR tips for small businesses (25:46)The Bring Your Product Idea to Life Podcast - Best Business Podcast Award, Independent Podcast Awards 2023USEFUL RESOURCES:Sheila Sells Seashells WebsiteSheila Sells Seashells InstagramSheila Sells Seashells FacebookScott Communications WebsiteDebbie Scott Linked InBunnyfish WebsiteLET'S CONNECTJoin my free Facebook group for product makers and creatorsFind me on InstagramWork with me Buy My Book: Bring Your Product Idea To LifeIf you enjoy this podcast, and you'd like to leave a tip, you can do so here: https://bring-your-product-idea.captivate.fm/supportMentioned in this episode:Support this podcast by buying me a coffee!If...
Tara Martin Rowell on Drop Coats and Competitive Spirit Tara Martin Rowell, breeder, handler and second generation dog woman, joins host Laura Reeves with recommendations on maintaining drop coats, the genetics of her competitive spirit and pro tips for succeeding at the highest level in the sport. [caption id="attachment_12174" align="alignleft" width="277"] Tara Martin Rowell in her formative years with Maltese.[/caption] “Basically, I was born into Maltese,” Tara said. “My mom (AKC judge Vicki Abbott) and dad had me right after my mom had kind of gotten involved in the breed. In my younger life, it was all about the Maltese and my mom was very successful. (She) had the top winning toy dog of all time, a Maltese that she actually handled. That's how I got introduced into dog shows as a young child. “Something that I always say when people ask me, I think it's very important, especially today for our younger generation, to at least get some sort of a business degree. You want to handle dogs, you got to know how to do the business side of it too, because it's not just the glamour and the walking in the ring and the winning. I mean, that's very small portion of it. [caption id="attachment_12173" align="alignright" width="339"] Tara Martin Rowell with Hank, GCH CH Scylla Small Kraft Re-Lit. Bred by Tara and her mom, Vicki Abbot. Owned by Ron Scott and Debbie Scott.[/caption] “I started my life picking up a lot of poop. A lot of dogs that I never walked in the ring with doing a lot of holding of dogs, doing a lot of keeping my mouth shut. I mean, there's a lot of work that goes into that process of success, you know? Favorite Dog Book “I think Dog Steps would be the one everybody has to read. I think that you should reread it as you get older, especially if you're aspiring to judge, even if you've been judging. I still think structure and anatomy is so important in a breeding program. In a breed like my main breed Maltese, I think people get away from the structure and the anatomy because they think the hair is so important. Hair's very important, but it's one piece of the puzzle that makes the whole puzzle work, and you can't have one without the other. Listen to the full episode for Tara's recommendations on grooming routines, favorite products and secrets for success.
In this Cut Flower Special of The Organic Gardening Podcast, Sarah Brown chats with Jo Wright from Flowers from the Farm and Debbie Scott, from East Lothian Flower Farm, as they share their experience of growing cut flowers organically, offering valuable insights into the benefits of supporting local flower growers. “Growing organic flowers made complete sense as we think about what we do very carefully," says Jo. "Cut flowers are a luxury, and we think the onus is much greater on the growers of a luxury crop, to protect the environment. We cannot be wasting resources on something that is primarily decorative." Our CEO Fiona Taylor catches up with our Head of Horticulture, Chris Collins, and shares top tips for ensuring seedlings thrive and flourish. They also discuss getting the most out of your local garden centre, so you can make more informed choices. “You do need to be wise about what you're buying. It's a question of walking around and seeing what's native and getting the best out of your shop, getting your money's worth and supporting biodiversity,” says Chris.

Just over a year ago, following the Florida school shootings, Debbie Scott was moved and inspired to do something to make a difference in the lives of teachers and their kids. As a result, she reached out to a handful of teachers who she knew and asked what supplies they needed for their classrooms. After fulfilling their requests and being touched by the deep appreciation of those teachers, Debbie became convinced there were more educators who needed supplies and people around the world who would love to help. So, she created the Help A Teacher Facebook page. Since that first small gesture to help a few teachers, the Help A Teacher community has grown into a 100K+ member force committed to providing teachers around the world with supplies, encouragement, and support. Today, fueled by faith and passion and love for teachers, Debbie and the Help A Teacher team are more committed than ever to playing a significant role in supporting teachers to make a difference in the lives of their kids.
