Your shop items are very elegant and attractive, however HubPages does not accept articles designed to promote other sites or businesses . If you are writing promotional content your articles are likely to be rejected. There are a variety of rules about promotional content, limits to how and where you link out, and the user here who is just trying to get traffic or backlinks for their own sites will most likely find their their articles unpublished.
I think you are still allowed to mention your business or put a link in your author profile... and if you are writing informational and interesting "magazine style" articles about Viking history, traditions, myths, lifestyle, symbology, etc. they might be fine.

I have a few articles on another site that I find a bit wasted there and that I am sure would do better here. I cannot delete them from the other site, as by contract they must stay there but can be re-published elsewhere. I know bringing them here may hurt my score and if they do I will delete...
