THE BLACK CAT BOUTIQUE
81THE OPENING OF THE BLACK CAT BOUTIQUE
Info about some of our business interests :
- ALL DONATIONS that are given during sales of our products and hand made items go to help abandoned and stray animals , like our beloved NINJA. She was found wandering the streets before she was weaned! We could'nt say NO to such a BEAUTIFUL BLACK KITTEN !!!
- IF FUNDING ALLOWS, WE PLAN ON OPENING AN ONLINE STORE AROUND THE SAME TIME AS OUR HALLOWEEN GRAND OPENING ( EVEN THOUGH WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS, WE NEED TO GET MORE ITEMS MADE TO DISPLAY AND SELL, NOT JUST TAKE AND MAKE CUSTOM ORDERS. ( IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEA ON WHAT WOULD BE THE CHEAPEST WAY TO OPEN AN ONLINE , MAIL ORDER STORE - PLEASE LET US KNOW !... THANK YOU !! )
- ALL BLACK CAT BOUTIQUE ITEMS are HAND MADE BY A PERMANENTLY DISABLED MOHER OF 1..( it is good therapy, she can sit and use her skills to make our special items to order without causing any pain or discomfort ...unfortunatly, it is a hobby and she does this to keep from becoming depressed , and yes..it is working well for her..she has been happy since starting to make hand made "craft" items and jewelry..she also has become our main designer of our specialty products!! ). We also have a volunteer handicapped gentleman who makes beautiful signs and plaques using a wood burning technique.
WE ARE AUTHORIZED DEALERS OF OHIO'S VERY OWN "WILDBERRY" INCENSE and OILS. THIS IS A SUPERIOR HAND MADE PRODUCT. YOU WILL NOT FIND A PRODUCT TO EVEN COMPARE WITH SCENT, STRENGTH, and the ABILITY TO LAST.
- IF you are interested in any of our product , a product list, or making a donation, CONTACT KERRY at avaadoreboxers@yahoo.com - she will make sure your donation is placed in a card, with your name ( if you like ) and be given to the appropriate charity or NO KILL shelter that is currently in the most need. ( after you contact her, she will give you your options by giving THE BLACK CAT BOUTIQUE'S Customer Service Number, or instructions to follow to donate thru paypal ).Unfortunatly, we are not wealthy ourselves and can only work out of a small home office with unpaid volunteers at this time., and we can not afford to give the amounts we would like to be able to collect for the disabled funds and the NO KILL ANIMAL SHELTERS. ( at this time we are concentrating on working on a shelter that specializes in "black cats and"white pure bred dogs"..it seems to be looked over by many other organizations and the people who run it ( he works 3 jobs to support himself, his wife and the over 175 animals they currently home in a very nice seperate building on their property, she stays home to care for the animals and tries daily to place them in appropriate homes all over the United States ..tough charity work, I do not think I could do it , even if I had the means, they were able to start this ANIMAL SAFE HAVEN" by a $15,000.00 winning lottery scratch off ticket, ..and just a note, no matter what color or breed of animal, they WILL NEVER TURN AN ANIMAL AWAY! )
- WE WILL CUSTOM MAKE GIFT BASKETS, CLOTHING, JEWELRY, CANDLES, PERFUMES, SOAPS, BODY LOTIONS, BATH PRODUCTS and WHAT EVER YOU NEED THAT IS UNIQUE!!!
OUR SMALL BOUTIQUE ONLY CARRIES HIGH - QUALITY MERCHANDISE THAT IS HARD TO FIND AT DECENT PRICES WITHOUT SEARCHING. WE GUARANTEE WE ONLY USE THE BEST MATERIALS FOR OUR HAND MADE, HAND DESIGNED PRODUCTS, AND OUR OILD AND INCENSE IS THE BEST QUALITY WE COULD FIND AND ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTERS. IF YOU WANT, WE CAN TAKE ORDERS FOR ITEMS THAT ARE OF A LESSER QUALITYAND WILL BE SLIGHTLY CHEAPER FOR THE CONSUMER, BUT AS IT IS, WE ARE KEEPING OUR COST RATIO TO PROFIT MARGIN VERY LOW SO EVERYONE CAN ENJOY THE BEST PRODUCTS WE CAN GET OUR HANDS ON AND PRESENT TO YOU FOR PURCHASE !!!! We believe everyone, OF ALL economical AND social SITUATIONS deserve the best LUXURIES MONEY CAN BUY at AFFORDABLE PRICES !!!
* ALL BEADS AND JEWELRY ITEMS ARE CRYSTAL,ONYX, GERMAN HAND FIRED GLASS, SOLID GOLD, BRASS, STERLING SILVER, and BLOWN GLASS !!
* THE BEST WAY TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS, IF INTERESTED, IS TO EMAIL US FOR A CURRENT LIST. ITEMS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE DAILY, DEPENDING ON SALES.
* On ALL CUSTOM ORDERS, you may choose your designer / Artist to create your special piece
THANK YOU..and we will have more pics arriving shortly!!!
THE BLACK CAT BOUTIQU is proud to unveil a NEW, 2009, BODY CARE and DESIGNER CANDLE LINE for CHRISTMAS....We have more written on that in text below !
PROMOTING, PROMOTING, PROMOTING!!! WHAT TO DO, VOLUNTEERS LOOSING PATIENCE :(
OK..so here is the deal, as soon as I can afford it out of my pocket, or pray for some customers to start rolling by, contacting me and ordering, and calling..I will have a website up to purchase items.
So, untill then, I have been driving around to the 4 closest towns ( this includes the town where our office is located ) and putting out 3 different fliers, business cards, business cards with a sample of a incense product, and well, I have used 4 business card packets and 3 reams of paper.. tomarrow I bought a packet of avery print on magnets, those are next..I am doing my best to get some money in here and help pay for supplies, overhead ( wich is low ) and help the disabled earn a little extra income to suppliment the SSI as promised. I am one of the disabled that is helping, unpaid ..luckily, I can still drive, just not stand for over 10 minutes..so alot of this volunteerism is me, but Im out to help all disabled mothers, especially the ones who are worse off than I am, but I cant continuously pull from my pocket nd not make my bills, especially simce i do have a teenager...SO I NEED TO GET THESE SALES IN!!!
Hopefully someone will use their spirituality and help in that aspect so the business starts to come and I can start selling online.
Today I actually took a handfull "WILDBERRYS" best seller, blend 22, stapled them to my business cards and left them at the local liquor store..I even changed the business cards to look psychadelic.
Maybe I will have my webpage by Halloween to do mail order sales, keep your fingers crossed for us. I still have many clothing items, candles, and jewelry to make to display that are not even custom orders.
Im trying to have faith in myself AND EVERY VOLUNTEER WHO COMES HERE ..ITS ALMOST A THERAPY FOR THEM ( ONE GOOD THING ), I want to so bad give tips ( I am even running a special that includes a hand carved gold inlay holder and 15 pre -pack or a hand blown glass holder with a 25 count pre pack as my fall, before Christmas special.
I have made up 8 ( 1 is NEW !!! ) different pre-packs of "WILDBERRYS" incense ( yes they are the best in the U.S. - it is a proven fact that they hold their desired scent and cover up and diffuse any unwanted smells in your house, same for our OILS )
Packs ( tell me what you think and if you have a catchy name for a pre-pack, please , by all means, let me know )
1. ROMANCE / EXSTACY
2. SWEET DREAMS
3. KARMA
4. HOME BLESSINGS
5. SPIRITUAL BLISS
6. FINANCIAL BLISS
7. UP IN SMOKE
8. Scents of Christmas, PAST PRESENT, and FUTURE
I DID MY RESEARCH ON SCENTS AND PUT THE PACKAGES TOGETHER THIS WAY, I WAS READING ON DIFFERENT THINGS, SUCH AS MYRRH, FRANKINSENSE,OPIUM,PATCHOULI,DIFFERENT OILS FROM FLOWERS AND THE RAIN FOREST ( WICH ARE INGREDIENTS IN THE OILS AND OILS USED TO MAKE THE INCENSE ) AND DIFFERENT HOME SMELLS AND FRUITS. SO I DO HAVE THE ABOVE PACKAGES VARRIED, BUT CONTAINING THE SCENTS COINSIDING WITH THE PRE-PACK AS NECESSARY AND PROMISED.
I HATE TO ASK, BUT IF YOU WANT TO DONATE A DOLLAR, SEND A MONEY ORDER OR , IF YOU CAN CONCEAL IT IN THE MAIL, A DOLLAR AND I WILL GET THIS STORE UP AND RUNNING ON THE INTERNET TO HELP THOSE WHO I HAVE PROMISED TO HELP..
AND I AM ALSO DONATING ANY "TIPS" TO 3 DIFFERENT NO KILL ANIMAL SHELTERS IN OHIO AND MICHIGAN.
I EVEN HAVE STATED YOU DONT EVEN NEED TO COME IN ON THE FLIER THAT EXPLAINS THE PRE-PACK SETS, SOMEONE WILL DELIVER ( DELIVERY DRIVER DOES NOT CARRY ANY CHANGE OR MONEY, SO YOU MUST HAVE EXACT COST WHEN PRODUCT DELIVERED )
I JUST WANT TO HELP MYSELF A LITTLE, HELP OTHERS LIKE AND WORSE OFF THAN MYSELF AND ELP THE ANIMALS, IM NOT LOOKING TO BE A MILLIONAIRE...
THANKS FOR LETTING ME POST THIS OFF MY CHEST, ITS BEN A STRESSFULL COUPLE OF DAYS... LIKE I SAID BEFORE, I JUST NEED TO GET BUSINESS GENERATED, I HAVE QUALITY PRODUCT, CUSTOM PRODUCT , AND THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I CAN FIND TO HELP.
NOT ONE EMPLOYEE IS A PAID EMPLOYEE..ITS ALL VOLUNTEERS WITH PROFITS GOING FOR THE CHARITIES , COVER THE SMALL OVERHEAD, AND KEEP PRODUCT COMING IN SO ITS AVAILABLE.
IM DOING ALL THIS AND ITS NOT EVEN MY BUSINESS, I HOPE YOU ALL DONT THINK IM CRAZY, IT HAS TAKEN AWHILE DUE TO MY DISABILITY TO GET ONE TASK DONE, BUT IT IS GOOD THERAPY FOR ME.
CAN I PUT IT THIS WAY... "WE, AT THE BLACK CAT BOUTIQUE WANT TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE LUXURIES , GOOD PRODUCT, AND HELP OTHERS IN THEIR TIME OF NEED, HUMAN AND ANIMAL ALIKE.
WELL, ENOUGH FOR NOW, I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED AS PROGRESS COMES AROUND.
A NEW DECISION, IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED, THEY MAY REQUEST A CATALOG AND ORDER DIRECTLY FROM THE ME, THE ARTIST and THE BLACK CAT BOUTIQUE, OR IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT, EMAIL ME AT avaadoreboxers@yahoo.com, WE WILL USE PAYPAL AS OUR PAYMENT MEANS ( by using the store to SELL AND COLLECT PAYMENT ON ALL ORDERED ITEMS, AND YOU WILL BE TREATED AS ALL OF OUR OUT OF STATE CUSTOMERS ( THIS IS KERRY AND I JUST WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO A SPECIALTY LINE OF CANDLES, WICH I WILL BE SHOWING AS A GROUP IN THE PHOTO SECTION. I HAVE MADE 10 GLYCERINE / GELL BASED CANDELS, WITH SOY COLORING AND MY OWN ESSENCES, I HAVE 4 IN CRYSTAL GOBLETS, 4 IN COCA COLA GLASSES, AND 2 IN ROUND CRYSTAL CENTERPEICES..EACH IS DIFFERENT, THEY ARE MY "ELEGANT LINE"..SOME CONTAIN FRESH WATER PEARLS, SOME CONTAIN SWARVOSKI CRYSTALS ( ONE EVEN HAS 24 "SWARVOSKI sNOWFLAKE bEADS", AND OTHERS ARE ALL SIMPLY WORKS OF ART..THIS LINE WILL NEVER BE REPRODUCED, IT IS SPECIAL FOR THE 2009 CHRISTMAS SEASON. TOMARROW I WILL BE WORKING ON MY SIMPLE SOY CANDLES , BUT I WANT TO SHOW THESE TO YOU , BEFORE THEY ARE GONE AT A CRAFT / ARTISAN SHOW I AM FEATURED AT ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST, 2009.

Stock also holds black and green marbled onxy, jade, and carved skull ( not real human..lol ) beads !!!
( DUE TO SUPPLIERS AND SUCH, IT IS EASIER FOR ME TO TAKE ORDERS AND SEND PRODUCT SHEETS THROUGH MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS THAN THE STORES, BUT UPON PAYMENT, EVERYTHING MUST BE DONE THROUGH THE STORE'S BUSINESS PAYPAL ACOUNT. WE DO NOT DO OR ACCEPT ANY "PERSONAL" TRANSACTIONS TO KEEP THINGS FAIR FOR OUR BUSINESS AND OUR BUSINESS ETHICS )
UPDATE:
TO BE DONE BY DECEMBER 1ST., 2009

( we have listed a few items, all sold, and we are set up as a paypal merchant, so we can also do store business through mail order , as I stated abovee, please either request a catalog or email me, Kerry, at my personal email ( so you do not get overlooked ) and I will confirm that you are a serious lead or customer and provide you with our customer service number, we also take phone orders this way with payment through paypal or local pick up of item.
WE WILL BE ABLE TO SELL OUR ITEMS THROUGH EBAY AND THIS PAGE AND ALSO TAKE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN FIND IN YOUR HEARTS TO GIVE BY USING PAYPAL ( at this time all donations go to a local NO KILL ANIMAL SHELTER, that has been drasticly overlooked by many organizations, I can send you the information on this shelter if you are genuinly interested )
I JUST FOUND OUT, DO TO OUR 100% CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, WE CAN OPEN THE STORE AS SOON AS SOMEONE HERE AT THE BOUTIQUE GETS A CHANCE.....MOST LIKLY AFTER THIS SATURDAY SO WE KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO RESTOCK AND IF WE HAVE A DECENT VARIETY OF ITEMS TO GET STARTED WITH.

theblackcatwestsalem@yahoo.com - THIS IS ONE OF THE 2 MENTIONED WAYS, TO DONATE OR PURCHASE , IF YOU REALLY WANT TO HELP, THE CHOICE IS TOTALLY UP TO YOU :)
SIGNING OFF FOR NOW,
KERRY, THE ONLY DISABLED VOLUNTEER HERE WHO IS NOT SICK AND IS DOING ALL THE FUN STUFF ...LOL
WELL, SO FAR WE HAVE LISTED 5 THINGS ON EBAY, KERRY GOT VERY DISCOURAGED, HER CRYSTAL FAUCETED GERMAN GLASS BEAD HALLOWEEN BRACELET DID NOT SELL, BUT A LEATHER JACKET ..THAT HAPPENS TO BE BRAND NEW, NEVER WORN, BUT HAS BEEN IN OUR HOME CLOSET FOR A FEW YEARS HAS A BID..YOU CAN NOT BEAT THE PRICE FOR A MEN'S XXL BLACK , LINED, LEATHER "BIKER"OR "CLUB" TYPE JACKET...
FOR 3 DAYS KERRY WORKED ON HAND CHOOSING BEADS TO MAKE A "CHINESE GOD LUCK" WOMENS CHOKER, EVEN COMMISSIONED HER FRIEND, THE GLASS BLOWER TO MAKE 3 MEDALLIONS THAT CAN NEVER BE DUPLICATED, SHE USED STERLING SILVER MEMORY WIRE ( SHE BOUGHT OUT OF HER OWN POCKET, WICH LEAVES HER WITH 13.00 TO HER NAME UNTLL NOVEMBER 3RD, AND A STERLING SILVER TORPEDO CLASP....WE LET HER LIST IT WITH NO ASSISTANCE WITH PRICING, IT IS MUCH LOWER HAN SUCH AN EXQUISTE PEICE ( YES , WE HAD IT APPRAISED ) IS WORTH, SHE STARTED IT AT A SMALL FRACTION OF THE PRICE..ANYWAY, WE DONT WANT HER TO TAKE A LOSS AND DO WITHOUT, BUT IF IT SELLS SHE WILL BE THE HAPPIEST DESIGNER / DISABLED MOTHER EVER...
SOON , WE HOPE TO GET SOME OF OUR WILDBERRY ITEMS AND OUR OWN GLASS BLOWN INCENSE HOLDERS UP AND OUR OILS AND NOW WE HAVE STARTED MAKING OUR OWN TEA LIGHT CANDLES AND SPECIALTY CANDLES.WE ALSO , WELL KERRY DID, MADE SOME HIGHLY CONCENTRATED WAX THAT YOU WOULD USE IN AN OIL BURNER, JUST LIKE YOU DO OIL..THAT LADY MADE 5 UNIQUE SCENTS, NO ONE ELSE HAS..They are 100 percent soy.. UPDATE : the "wax melts" have proven to cover any odor in the office/store/hourse, Kerry chose 2 of the bricks she made ( her own scents she came up with are caramel corn, vanilla, sea breeze #2, christmas tree blend #3, pumpkin pie, spiced apple, hollyberry, india moon, fresh linnen blend #5 ) she kept 1 brick of vanilla and 1 brick of caramel corn, she took 3 of the marble burners she uses around her home, boke the corners off the bricks and melted them 3 weeks ago - today we are STILL lighting them and they have not burnt down and the scent is still strong, infact we have sold almost every brick from the first batch , this is why the ebay store is not up, Kerry has sold all but 3 bricks of pumkin pie, 3 bricks of christmas tree, 2 bricks fresh linnen, and 1 brick of the sea breeze..at the start, she had made 20 bricks of each mentioned above and are only selling them for 3 dollars a brick, I believe she is just finishing up a new batch and I smell a new scent she has named ZEN...I hope these last till the craft show Kerry and I are attending the 21st of November in Cambridge, OH at Cardida Resort ( 1 mile from Salt Fork Lake ), if any Ohioans are interested,Email us and let us know, we will forward you all the information ( it is also 40 minutes from Wheeling, West Virginia ). I dont think she will get the store up this week, she stil has a list I peeked at of pearl jewelry, crystal jewelry, candles, soaps, perfumes, and a men's cologne she has made for us to market..I will sign off now and Im sure Kerry will see this shortly and be on to add any info I missed about what she has been cooking up all day after she takes a short break. Im still in shock her wax melts are still strong scented and going after lighting the same marble carved burners she makes after 3 entire weeks, I dont know the secret, maybe you hubbers can get her to share it, but I doubt it... I will also let you know Kerry sold her last Black Line Gothic shirt, 2 wax melts and a brass ring burner she made to a phone order customer from Pennslyvania today , looks like the word is starting to spread..I am keeping my fingers crossed !!!
THE GOOD NEWS IS A LADY CAME TO OUR SMALL OFFICE STORE SATURDAY, WAS GOING TO SPEND 10 BUCKS, CAME BACK TWICE AND SPENT 29 DOLLARS. I GUESS YOU CAN SAY ITS LOOKING UP.
AS FOR KERRY, SHE HAS BEEN STUDYING, INGREDIENTS AND ESSENCES, AND WHO KNOWS WHAT IN A PILE OF OLD BOOKS AND WICCAN BOOKS SHE HAS - NO ONE IS QUITE SURE WHAT SHE IS UP TO, BUT WHATEVER IT IS SHE HAS MADE SCENTS PEOPLE CAN NOT WALK AWAY FROM...SHE IS MAKING HOMES SMELL BEAUTIFULL, 1 AT A TIME..AND SHE IS THROWING GIFT BASKET IDEAS OUT THERE LEFT AND RIGHT !
WELL, TODAY, KERRY HAD PURCHASED A VERY LARGE SWARVOSKI , MULTI-FAUCETED, PURPLE CRYSTAL.... SHE HAD AN EXPERIENCED GOLD / SILVER SMITH MAKE A 1 OF A KIND ( HER DESIGN , OF COURSE ) PENDANT..AND GUESS WHAT..SHE JUST LISTED IT ON EBAY..I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY, ITS STUNNING, SHE LOVES IT AND EVERYONE WHO SAW IT WANTED IT..I GUESS SHE REALLLY NEEDS THE FUNDS UNTILL HER SSI ARRIVES..I WILL POST A PIC OF IT AND TURN THE COMPUTER OVER TO HER BEFORE SHE GOES TO BED, SHE SEMS A BIT SAD AND I THINK THIS IS WHY...
UPADE : 11/03/2009-
AT 9 PM A LADY WALKED IN OFF THE STREETS AND BOUGHT $43.00 WORTH OF KERRY'S HANDMADE GLASS ITEMS..
..AND TO THINK SHE ONLY WANTED 4 STICKS ( $1.00 ) OF FAIRY DUST - THE INCENSE KERRY WAS CARRYING AROUND WHILE PASSING OUT CANDY AND BUSINESS CARDS AT TRICK OR TREAT.
WE HAVE A CRAFT SHOW WE WERE INVITED TO ATTEND NOVEMBER 22...
WICH IS GOOD, KERRY HAD GONE AND SPENT $41.99 ON PRODUCT TO MAKE ITEMS WITH TONIGHT AND HAD BEEN HOME 10 MINUTES BEFORE THIS LADY SHOWED UP ( SHE DOESNT KNOW IM POSTING THIS, KERRY IS OUT FOR A SMOKE BREAK )

Written by Kerry herself to promote this line, will be at craft shows and on ebay as soon as the line is finished, she feels we are ready then, I am allowing her all artistic control!
2009, going into 2010..CLOSEOUT SALES
As I have been sitting here, writing and thinking..I an going to start a close out section of the store, things that have been changedm discontinued, or only have 1 item left in the line, also discontinued scents ( oils and incense )..
With the idcontinued line, I will be donating 1/2 of the sale price to the NO KIll Shelter I have mentioned above...
Christmas is getting close and so is the new year, so why not end 2009 with a nice , or the nicest I can, group of donation for the animals..
The animlas all dserve a Christmas too, look how many of them witnesssed the birth of the Christian baby Jesus in the manger, why not let them have some comfort for being there when they were most needed...and are always there for US when we most need companionship and COMFORT - Kerry
( If you feel this is a bad idea, let me know...Im always open to new ideas i can do or present them to the owner, I can get things approved because all of the effort I have put into his small store - charity minded business , so please, any suggestions will be greatly appriciated!
11/21/2009 = update!
well, I attended my first trade/artisan/craft show and sale since I have become disabled, now keep in mind we have only been open 1 month, officially..I am out of soap, ea lights, blown glass "instruments, and 1/2 of my candles and jewelry..the incense are also going to have to be stocked by next week also..
however, we made some good reinvestment money for the store and got at least $32.00 in donation, that we have decided to go t the shelter. I will have the store put back together and inventoried , with help of course, sunday, be restocked by wednesday -thursday, and will have an ebay store ready for "BLACK FRIDAY" SHOPPING !
This is a promise, even if I must do it alone!
We also have a volunteer who worked in I.T. defore becoming disabled, she has a website in the works, soon as it is closer to being finished I will post the links, She has pictures of our huge set up, good product close ups, and will have a internet order form for pre -made and custom work, wich will be paid through paypal just like ebay and regular mail order has been done..
Im surprised, I was able to contribute alot to get the store growing in just a few short hours today.
I have about 12 more pieces of fine jewelry to show, but she has the photos, I will take a group photo of them in the next few days to post along with a "ROMANCE FOR TWO" gift basket I threw together and , unfortunatly did not sell, but got alot of interest and now have a glass list, a soap list, a perfume list, and a gift basket list to do all custom work for people all over the United States for Christmas..I sure hope by doing this I can get my volenteerism for the store at a much higher level and make more donations for the no kil shelter in West Salem, OH.
I'm very tired, but will have the link, store and photos for you all soon..
BLESSED BE my FRIENDS...
Kerry
P.S. I also have 64 new incense formulas to turn into the parent company to get patented so they can have rights for me and them to sell them and people we choose , rigorously, to have a little piece of our majik!
...and the close out table has dwindled down to a few things, but they are nice and all reduced 50%..you will be viewing them soon!

I can not thank my fellow hubbers, friends in other states, friends next door..eveyone, your support is getting the word out and things are starting to look good for me..I am the only working artist now, we still have volunteers come in to do inventory, keep me compay , do paperwork, and someone has been updating my handiwork..I am now the gold/silver smith, glass blower, candle maker, soap maker, if we have it or it can be done, it is my project to keep me busy, I have my staple items back up to a decent stock, getting to get donations in to the shelters, now I have to work on some more jewelry, perfumes, soaps, candles, and gift baskets...and any customer who wants something special takes priority, so its keeping me busy and I do promise to be up on EBAY very soon, and have a new hub or 2 written
