OOOH, SOME PICS

I finally got around to taking some more product shots. I know finally! There are always new items coming in the shop....so here's a slim selection of some of them. But you really need to stop in to see what I mean!

A few of these products are great examples of recycling a material into something completely new and improved. I really love that.

These are wallets made from recycled billboard material.....pretty cool, i know. The lovely Plum made them, she's in the band Thrillpillow that will be playing at the September 8th gig at the Eagles too.



Here are some ReWax candles, made out of recycled candle wax. They come in a variety of colors...come and get em!



You know those beer and soda bottles that you have lying around, how about making them into juice glasses instead of just getting your 5¢ back? That's what Kelsey did....and they're pretty irresistible.




Next are these Big Sky earrings. My favorite part is that they are all very slightly mismatched.



Some flower pins in a variety of sizes and colors.




Fall is coming, and what is better than sporting a scarflette made by Ashley who you may have also seen working on Fridays for us! The styles are different, the colors are different, and they're all so cute.






Sitting in an abundant pile are a mixture of tins for pretty much anything you can think of, made by Jenny Lisa.

UPDATE: SEPT 8th GIG

We now have Thrillpillow as part of our Dandie gig at the Eagles Nest on Saturday September 8th. We are so thrilled that they offered to be a part of this night.....and all of you should be too! Things are happening and moving along....

SEPT. 8th IS THE DATE

Mark your calendars, we're throwing a Dandie party at the Eagles club in Northampton on Saturday September 8th! We're hoping for it to be a time where all of the artists involved in the shop can be in one place while enjoying some fabulous music at the same time. So far we have two very talented local bands on the bill for the night with hopefully one more to come.

Sitting Next to Brian will be performing, as well as The Novels. For any of you who don't know them, you are missing out. It will be an amazing night....I can not control my excitement!

This will also be a chance to support your local indie craft boutique! There is a standard $5 cover at the Eagles club, and the two bands involved have agreed that all profits will support keeping us up and running.

More details to come......and much planning to do.

SPREADING OUR MARKET

When I first got involved in the business I thought it would be great to eventually have an online shop as well as having the boutique. Of course opening an Etsy shop seemed to be the easiest. But now the task of photographing every product we have in stock and making sure we didn't accidentally sell something in the shop that was also sold online is way too complicated. So i'm trying to come up with another solution.

It would be great to increase our market and make our items accessible to out-of-towners that just don't get the chance to come to the boutique. So i'm thinking maybe all of the products that I post here on the blog can also be for sale online. Meaning that we open a Paypal account–probably the easiest way to handle money–and then if someone sees something they want can email me to find out prices and make sure it's still available. Then we'll wait for payment and snail-mail it along. This is definitely not a standard online shopping way, but I think it may work. It's also not a way to increase sales drastically but it's something for now atleast.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
