All Things Good and
Beautiful is a division of Celestial Trading Group which is owned and operated
by me, Natalie Dalgetty. I am assisted by a terrific support team
which includes my family, friends and a variety of
professionals. My business operations are based out of Calgary,
Alberta, Canada, a dynamic,
rapidly growing city of close to a million people located in the foothills of
the Rocky Mountains in Western Canada.
The idea for All Things Good
and Beautiful started many years ago when I was a very young child. My Mom
tells me that when people would ask what I was going to do when I grew up, I
would reply, " I'm gonna have a store!" When they asked what I
would have in the store, I told them "All things good and beautiful!",
and the company name was born! Of course it wasn't until many years later
that this name would come into play.
After graduating from the University
of Saskatchewan with a BA in
Sociology, I worked in a variety of retail and distribution sales
positions as well as retail management. Along the way I
became interested in new technology and especially the potential of the
internet. I realized that more and more people like me had less and less free time
at our disposal and anything that added convenience in our lives could also create more free time.
I
began searching for a way I could perhaps create a business that would provide
that convenience to people who have little free time thus freeing up
time to spend with their friends and families rather than having to spend it
out shopping in malls.
After a downsizing lay
off, attending a self-employment program at Meyers
Norris Penny and consideration
of my interests, I created Celestial Trading Group - a company dedicated
to creating innovative businesses. In
researching a possible area to begin, I noticed that many of the products in the
home and garden category were exactly the same from website to website. How boring!!
And Home and Garden Sanctuary was born. Shortly after creating the website, I also added an eBay store and began adding
other unique items beyond the home and garden decor categories.
With the eBay store, I
have found a definite niche in the US marketplace. Because I source and
stock all my company's own
products, I have had great success
with what people see as interesting and unique products. To date, I have successfully shipped products all over
North America, South America, the British Isles, continental Europe, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand,
and the far east to Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. I also decided I need to translate these great products into
an expanded website to bring these products to people who are looking for unique
items but want the ease of an eCommerce site rather than searching and bidding
on eBay. Since the expanded product line didn't fit only into the home and
garden category, I decided to create All Things Good and Beautiful and
incorporate Home and Garden Sanctuary into the overall website.
I am very pleased and excited
to bring you products that are the culmination of searching to find unique, good quality, beautiful items and creating great
relationships with my suppliers over the past six years. I think
that you will find some terrific products that make great gifts and are just as
enticing for your own personal use. While some products could be
considered staples to the site, I wouldn't recommend waiting for too long to
grab something if you want it. Products sell out from the manufacturer and
distributor all the time, and once they are gone, that's it! I hope in the
future to source as many of own products as possible to have more control over
the buying and distribution process.
Our products are
currently available only on-line, but are looking to expand
to a physical location in the future. Please see the Locations
page for more information and details.
Exciting developments to be implemented
in the future include a gift registry and gift service on
line. Please continue to check back
for the addition of new products and the new services.
If you have any questions or are looking for
something that you can't find in your usual haunts, please contact
us. We will do our best to help you find that item you are looking
for. We would love to get feedback about the products and the functionality
of the site as well. We also appreciate any referrals to your friends,
families and acquaintances. Watch for referral rewards in the future.
Happy Shopping!
Natalie
