International Women’s Series featuring Megan Bassett & Danielle Neureuther

Megan and Danielle of Miss Olivia?s Line Glass Jewelry will be discussing how to take your passion and turn it into a full blow career. They will be discussing how they took an internet business to a retail business, the importance of networking and the balance of work and play. The girls have picked the dish of Gnudi but because of their German background we are going to put a twist on it. We will be offering a 3 course dinner with wine or beer options. $30 They will also have their jewelery and clothing line available for purchase. Megan Bassett - Artist, Founder, Owner I'm a Bassett - Artist, Founder, Owner I'm a Midwestern girl. Wisconsin to be exact. My family is just that, good, honest, hard working people. No one in my family has ever moved from Wisconsin, well except me. How did this passion start? It started with a dream. A dream to ski. I said it and did it. I moved to Gunnison, Colorado. I skied Crested Butte as much as my legs could take. That was 1996. I've never looked back. Part of this dream was to work for the Olympic Committee. I did, for 9 years. It was a great experience. But sometimes in life your dreams change. You change. If you're smart enough, you change with it. I did. I went to Italy in 2006 for the Olympic Games. After the events, my husband and I traveled the Italian countryside. I fell in love with the lifestyle, the glass, the art and the freedom that I felt - that was my perception. It was wonderful! When I came home I wanted to make fused glass. So I did. I took glass classes, started to create and it felt wonderful. Today I work as a full time glass artist. I have two fantastic kids and a loving husband. I'm no longer the only one to move to Colorado. My sister Danielle has followed me. I'm also lucky enough to have her as a fantastic full time employee. Thank you for supporting our small business! girl. Wisconsin to be exact.

Danielle Neureuther - Director of Social Media Hi Addicts! I'm Megan's sister and also the sales and marketing force behind MOL. I quit my corporate job of ten years in 2012 to jump on the carnival tour with Meg and sell MOL at Art Shows, Farmers Market's and online. Summer and Fall you will find me living in Vail and working the Colorado art show circuit. In winter, I run to Florida (with a stop in NOLA) to sell in the beach towns and work on my tan. My neice and nephew call me 'Crazy Auntie'....I'm a little crazy, but it's all good. I am a total foodie, love the mountains as much as the beach and I always take time out to enjoy the sunset. Working with my sister has been an adventure of a life time and best choice I have ever made! Explore, Dream, Discover...and don't forget the wine! That's my motto!
