If you are like our man in the photo above, today’s post should be of interest to both these groups.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">With the ever increasing growth of online selling, shoppers not only have a much wider diversity of products to shop from but they also have a much more difficult time finding that exact item they are looking for. Many shoppers actually spend much more time than they need to in their Product Quest. It is surprising to me that there are an increasing number of <span style=""> </span>buyer of handmade products that haven’t realized that it is becoming very common for sellers of handmade products to have multiple online stores and to be selling on a number of different venues. In a large portion of these situations, sellers place different products in each of the different stores they have online. Unlike the Arcade where a seller can show all the products they have from all their stores, most online selling venues don’t allow a store owner on their site to promote their other stores, when a potential buyer doesn’t see what they are looking for in a specific store they assume that the seller is unable to help them. They are usually unaware that that seller could very well have exactly what they want in another one of the sellers’ stores. As a result, they quite naturally continue looking.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Some shoppers don’t know that their most effective shopping tool is actually their email account. Buyers might be surprised to hear that most store owners are very happy to receive emails from buyers looking for specific products. Those sellers with multiple stores can often save the shopper considerable time and effort if they have a product in another one of their stores that might fill that shoppers needs. Many who create and sell handmade products also take custom orders and in most instances can meet the shoppers’ requests at very reasonable prices.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

It’s unlucky in that it always presents me with the problem of selecting which store and crafter to write about.

<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Let me add to this some things that I’m sure Rosemary is way to shy to say her self. It takes a considerable amount of talent and skill to create, or should I say reproduce, pieces of jewelry that fall into the Vintage area. For one thing, you have to do your homework to know just how any particular vintage piece you want to create was originally created. If you don’t have a proper understanding of the techniques used, all you end up with is a piece of jewelry that may look pretty good but it won’t have that touch of authenticity like those exhibited in Garden Gate Designs.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">A jewelry artisan and that is what Rosemary is, must have the creativity to blend the skills required and that understanding while still keeping in mind today’s shoppers desires. This only comes with considerable practice and self direction that only comes from a natural inborn talent.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I won’t try to describe any specific jewelry piece because this writer simply isn’t qualified nor do I think I could even do partial justice in that arena. I will say that if the reader is in quest for some really nice and distinctive pieces of jewelry that has a hint of the past and yet would still look absolutely fabulous today, check out Garden Gate Designs.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Carrie, the hands behind <a href="http://designedwithglass.etsy.com/">Designed With Glass</a><span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span>certainly knows her craft. The picture above is just one example of the many different products that can be found in her store. From stained glass panels to stained glass planters and candle holders the shopper will have plenty of choices to select from.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >There is a wealth of imagination at work in her creations and as she says in her store announcement, “If you or I can dream it, it can be created with glass!”. From what I can see in her store and from pictures of other items she has created, I sure can believe her statement.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >You might think stained glass creations are expensive. You wouldn’t know it by the very reasonable prices of Carries’ creations. When I say “very reasonable”, I mean it. I know the amount of work that goes into stained glass creations. If anything, working with stained glass has to be one of the more labor intensive crafts simply because the more detailed the creation, the more the difficulty factor increases. Having a well made stained glass creation is something that will be cherished for many years and is something that you will not regret buying. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><o:p>

Combining the concepts of realistic trees with an ever present mystical and haunting impression, Jordanka’s tree paintings are like no others I’ve ever seen. Using rather striking and vibrant colors, Jordanka allows her trees stand out in the painting yet feel totally natural in their setting. Some of her tree painting are on the lighter side of emotions while others impart a sinister and foreboding feeling within the viewer.

Not only will you find really neat paintings but you will also find that their pricing is very reasonable. Jordanka also does some commission work for those who have a special request.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

She almost covered most of what I was going to say in this review “Eclectic Oddities is a collection of handmade items, created by a retired art teacher with too much time on her hands, and an overactive drive to keep busy! Each item is one of a kind, and in some cases the style may be the same, but the materials vary, so that each piece is an original. You will find fiber/wearable arts, jewelry, paper goods, odd bits/pieces and misc. clothing articles.” <o:p></o:p></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">What I do want to add is that her creations are really very nice and attractive and are also very reasonably priced.

One of the best examples of this can be found in Recupefashion. Nathalie the owner o Recupefashion has three stores. One on Etsy <a href="http://www.recupefashion.etsy.com">http://www.recupefashion.etsy.com</a> , one on Artfire<span style=""> </span><a href="http://www.lagrande2tall4u.artfire.com">http://www.lagrande2tall4u.artfire.com</a><span style=""> </span>plus one on MadeItMyself<span style=""> </span><a href="http://www.madeitmyself.com/user/lagrande2tall4u.aspx">http://www.madeitmyself.com/user/lagrande2tall4u.aspx</a> . If that wasn’t enough stores to take care of, you will also find her on Silkfair<span style=""> </span><a href="http://www.silkfair.com/store/index/760">http://www.silkfair.com/store/index/760</a> .<o:p></o:p></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The apron shown above is made with a vintage pillowcase on one side and a recuperated shirt on the other. Now there is creativity in action. Everything Nathalie sells exhibits the same creativity and style. Being dedicated to the concept of recycling, Nathalie has perfected an art that for a while was quickly being lost. From jewelry to household items and almost anything in between, Recuperfashion is full of unique and exciting pieces of merchandise that are very reasonably priced. When you stop by one of Nathalie’s stores, don’t be surprised when you see something you probably never would have thought of.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">

These little touches come in all types but for the vast majority it isn’t the big things like furniture that really sets a home off as special. It’s the little things, a vase here, a picture there, or maybe its as simple as colors. What ever it is, to us these things make all the difference.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Possibly this is exhibited more so in those of us who tend to lean in the Country, Rustic and Primitive home décor mode. It seems these décor modes lend themselves more easily to these little bits of self expression. For our readers who find themselves addicted to the Country oriented style of home décor, we would like to point you in the direction of a rather new online store called <a href="http://www.gemmy200.etsy.com">Here's your Sign</a><span style=""> </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">
<br /><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The name of the store “Here’s your Sign” pretty well describes what the reader will find in the store but it doesn’t tell them anything about just how genuinely unique each of the signs Tina, the store owner, creates. With a keen eye for color and keeping here subject matter realistic to a Country oriented theme, Tina has been able to create some very attractive and yet naturally simple signs that could fit into many readers homes. <o:p></o:p></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">There is a nice blend of themes from the semi-humorous to those more on the serious side to be found in her signs also. We only use a single picture for each blog post but the picture above is pretty representative of what I’ve been saying. Stop by and fill that empty spot on your wall with one of Tina’s signs.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">

<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">If you have more than one store or have multiple stores on different venues, have you noticed that the marketing and advertising for them all can get a little crazy trying to keep track of where you have promoted which store and which products. It doesn’t take long before you find yourself wondering which store to promote each day, which products to promote from which store, which store do you send casual contacts too. If you’re finding that all this is becoming overwhelming, start thinking about all the extra time you are spending. Wouldn’t it be great to condense all that marketing and promoting and at the same time still have all your other stores and of course the sales and advertising those venues themselves do? There is a way to do it.
<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">
<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">For quite some time we here at <a href="http://thpmsd.dmpmc.net/">The Hand Made Product Shopping Directory</a> have listened to store owners who have expressed frustration with all the time and energy they have had to expend in marketing and promoting their various stores and products. When a seller has multiple stores, they have the problems mentioned above and particularly which store to send a potential customer to. It became obvious to us that what was needed was a way for store owners to be able to market and advertise all their stores and their products in one centralized location and do it extremely inexpensively. A single location a store owner can refer potential customers to that would allow that customer the ability to see every product that seller has available. Not another store in traditional sense but something like a store that provided the customer with real product information and the ability to, with one click, be in the particular store that particular product is being sold from.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">
<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">This is exactly what an <a href="http://arcade.dmpmc.net/">Arcade</a> Store Front is. It’s like having another store without all the hassles. Each <st1:place st="on">Arcade</st1:place> store has its own URL (example: http://YourStoreName.dmpmc.net) that you can send your potential customers to and not worry that they won’t see all your products. <st1:place st="on">Arcade</st1:place> store owners can list as many products as they wish and from almost any existing online selling venue. There is no need for another customer payment system and all those hassles since every listed product in a particular Arcade store links to that particular product in the appropriate actual store that product is sold from.
<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">
<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">If you wanted to you could think of an <st1:place st="on">Arcade</st1:place> store as your main store and all your other stores as departments within that store. With an <st1:place st="on">Arcade</st1:place> store you can list in say Etsy what sells best through Etsy, in your Artfire store, list what sells best there and in your Cafepress store what sells best there and so on. With an <st1:place st="on">Arcade</st1:place> store you can do this without the worry that a customer won’t see your other products either.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">
<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Here is what makes <st1:place st="on">Arcade</st1:place> stores really different. If you are tired of the product photos shoppers initially see in your store look a little crazy because most selling venues size their thumbnail photos into a standardized size throughout the selling venue, you’ll like the fact that each listing is reviewed by real people before it goes on line and each photo is sized proportionately so shoppers see your products the way they should look. Shoppers don’t just see a picture and a title, they see a real product description of the product as well as a title and photo. When a shopper clicks on the photo, they instantly go to that items sales page on what ever store the <st1:place st="on">Arcade</st1:place> store owner normally sells that product from. There they make their purchase. Shopper confusion about Shipping and Terms of Sale are reduced because these facts are also on every page in an <st1:place st="on">Arcade</st1:place> store owner’s store. So is a Profile and your store owners comments. All this is possible because all <st1:place st="on">Arcade</st1:place> stores, product pictures and product descriptions are human edited prior to going online.
<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">
<br /><span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Think of it! No more business cards and other ads with half a dozen web addresses on them. No more having to explain to potential customers that this particular product is only sold in this or that store. No longer will you have to promote and advertise all those stores if you don’t want to. Think of all the time and energy you will save and have available for doing what you really want to do, create more products. These are the benefits of having an Arcade store.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">

You may or may not be aware of a new law that takes effect in February 2009. This new law is called the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Ace (CPSIA). This new law, if it goes into effect as currently written, is going to significantly and negatively impact you. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The law is pretty complicated but basically what it was written in hopes of addressing issues caused by the use of certain chemicals like lead and certain other chemicals found in some children’s products. On the surface, the law sounds logical and appropriate but built within this new law are elements that will radically impact your ability to purchase children’s products.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Initially the law was intended to address the problem of imports from certain other countries but in addressing this issue, the writers of the bill have sounded death knell for many who create and sell handmade products geared towards children under 12 years of age. It will also cause most mass produced products to significantly go up in price if not disappear all together.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The main problem stems from the requirement that every product will need to be independently tested and certified. This is a heavy cost that for the majority of those who create and sell handmade products geared towards children simply can’t afford to have done. Even if they could, it would result in them having to raise their prices to such a point that the products wouldn’t be saleable. The result will be if the law isn’t changed is that you the shopper will no longer be able to buy handmade children’s products and the mass produced ones that you will find on the market will be extremely more expensive.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">What is so frustrating to all of us is the simple fact that the overwhelming majority of contaminated products are being produced out of the country and not within the <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>. In their efforts to address the issue of importing contaminated products, they have created a problem that is going to be much worse. It is obvious that this bill was poorly thought out and the subject poorly investigated. Otherwise they would have found out the real facts. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">If this bill goes into effect in its current form, it is not only going to be devastating for handmade product sellers, it is going to cost the government a big piece of change. It appears that the government doesn’t care, or probably never considered, the loss it will take from lost income taxes and sales taxes. Guess who is going to be paying for this lost revenue? Every tax payer in higher taxes.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">There are far too many elements and aspects of this bill to go into in a simple blog post but we are encouraging every reader of this post to do a simple Google search of of “CPSIA” and read up for themselves on this issue because it does effect you. Then contact their local representatives and senators and let them know how you feel.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

The <st1:place st="on">Arcade</st1:place> provides a centralized location for sellers from many different venues across the internet to display and market their creations. The Arcade is human edited and each store and item shown in the <st1:place st="on">Arcade</st1:place> has been reviewed to provide the shopper with some of the best handcrafted products to be found anywhere. Although the <st1:place st="on">Arcade</st1:place> is very new, it is growing quickly and we see it as a very useful shopping tool for shoppers.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><o:p>

What makes Arcade Stores different for store owners? First of all, there is No setup charge and No final value fees either. If you as a store owner that has stores on other venues, you are probably tired of the product photos shoppers initially see in your store look a little crazy because most selling venues size their thumbnail photos into a standardized size throughout the selling venue, you’ll like the fact that each listing is reviewed by real people before it goes on line and each photo is sized proportionately so shoppers see your products the way they should look. Shoppers don’t just see a picture and a title, they see a real product description of the product as well the title. When a shopper clicks on the photo, they instantly go to that items sales page on what ever store you normally sell that product from to make the purchase. Shopper confusion about Shipping and Terms of Sale are reduced because these facts are on every page in your shop. So is a Profile and your store owners comments. All stores and products are human edited prior to going online. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Although not the largest store we have ever reviewed, Shabby Accumulations does have a very respectable selection for shoppers in both the areas of art prints, aceo, and art jewelry. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">How does on describe art in words alone? Not very easily for this writer so I refer the reader to the picture above for a sample of what can be found at Shabby Accumulations. I can tell the reader that there is a nice selection of pieces to be found in their store. I like what is written in their store announcement for a nice description of their store. “It is where retro meets vintage and shabby meets chic. Home of hand created, vintage revamped jewelry and and sometimes' sweet, sometimes scary photographs and artwork.” <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Many think nice art has to be expensive. Not so. For those seeking to purchase some nice art and do it without having to have six figure income, you will like the very reasonable prices in the store also.

There certainly are a large number of very good artisans in the area of jewelry making and this fact can make the searching process a bit of a challenge for shoppers. Well for those shoppers that are having difficulty finding a starting place, let me recommend <a href="http://www.beadedjewels.biz">Beaded Jewels</a><span style=""> </span>. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Let me first state that Beaded Jewels has a huge selection of items to select from in a nice selection of categories. With great skill Lixi the owner of Beaded Jewels put together a very nice selection of styles, colors and types of jewelry any jewelry shopper will appreciate. Let me just quote a small piece from their web page “BEADED JEWELS designs feature elegant, sophisticated, extravagant styles<span style=""> </span>as well as stylish, fashionable beaded jewelry and practical items like key-chains, zipper-pulls, purse-clip-ons, cellphone- charms, eye-glass chains.”. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">That really doesn’t leave me too much more to tell you about Beaded Jewels except to say that with an easy to shop from web site, Beaded Jewels will make your jewelry shopping experience very pleasurable. Their very reasonable prices won’t hurt either. Stop by and see for yourself.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

The key words here for me aren’t “football” but “laying my head on a soft pillow”. I had one special pillow that was real comfortable but I had it so long that it’s almost past the point of no return. I just bought a new one a couple of weeks ago. I sure wish I had know about <a href="http://www.Darlenedecorates.etsy.com">Darlenedecorates</a><span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span>before I had done so.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">As one can see from the picture above, <a href="http://www.Darlenedecorates.etsy.com">Darlenedecorates</a> doesn’t carry just any old pillows. These are really nice looking ones that I’m sure my wife would have a fit over if I used one the way I usually do. Special pillows like these deserve better treatment than I would probably give them. Even though they would stand up to my misuse. As Darlene states in her store announcements “All pillows are original. Made from vintage, imported and high-end material, without the high price. All material is stain resistant.” <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Pillows aren’t the only thing Darlene carries in her store. Shoppers will find great candles and soaps as well and I even saw some potholders. Now that is diversity. If all this wasn’t sufficient reason to stop by <a href="http://www.Darlenedecorates.etsy.com">Darlenedecorates</a>, you will find very reasonable pricing also. All in all, <a href="http://www.Darlenedecorates.etsy.com">Darlenedecorates</a> is well worth a visit.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

I know I’m somewhat out of touch in some areas but it never dawned on me that you could create a pair of slippers by crocheting. I don’t know why that is since almost every other type of clothing has been created with crochet. When you think about it however, it makes perfect sense. Slippers are supposed to be comfortable, nice looking, durable and not cost a lot. All these attributes can be found in the creations found at <a href="http://www.genevive.etsy.com">Genevive’s</a><span style=""> .</span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">In my opinion, creating a pair of slippers by crocheting them has got to take an immense degree of skill. What’s more impressive to me is the imagination used by Genevive to come up with such a variety in the store. I’m not sure the word style is the appropriate to use when talking about slippers but I would consider Genevive’s slippers very stylish with a variety of colors to make the process of clothing coordination very easy.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">When it comes to anything that one wears on their feet, comfort is a prime factor. From what I can see in the store, I didn’t see any pair of slippers that could be anything but very comfortable. The fact that every pair is double soled not only adds to the comfort level but also to the durability factor. Shoppers will also find comfort in the fact that Genevive’s crocheted slippers are very reasonably priced also.

A newly listed store in the directory called <a href="http://www.twistedriverclay.etsy.com">Twisted River Clayworks</a><span style=""> </span><a href="http://www.twistedriverclay.etsy.com/"></a><span style=""></span>is one store that truly is worth a look-see. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I want to quote what Ronald, the owner of <a href="http://www.twistedriverclay.etsy.com">Twisted River Clayworks</a> says in their store announcement area simply because I’d just be typing the same thing anyway in this review. “Our pottery is unique and eclectic, created using the potter's wheel, slabs of clay and other creative additions. All of our work is functional and made of stoneware. Our glazes are certified food safe and contain no lead.” <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Ronald’s words “Unique and eclectic” are seriously an understatement. Even simple pieces like a mug provide a whole new perspective to pottery.<a href="http://www.twistedriverclay.etsy.com"> Twisted River Clayworks</a> is a busy store with a lot of sales and the reason is simple. They create some really neat pieces. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>
<br /></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Adding real style and uniqueness to functional pottery takes skill and a significant amount of creativity. I didn’t see a single piece in the store that didn’t exhibit both these qualities. I know that Christmas is tomorrow and everyone is busier than they probably want to be but take a break and take a look at some really distinctive pieces of pottery at <a href="http://www.twistedriverclay.etsy.com">Twisted River Clayworks</a>.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
