Marble Bags And More Store Information

Yesterday we added 5 Marble Bags with Marbles to Grandma's Corner. These are handmade deer and elk hide bags holding 20 small marbles and 1 large shooter marble.

Marble Bags with marbles are only $9.99 each.

Hint: Marble Bags would be a great additition to any Easter Basket.

I also completed another lens for squidoo. This lens has a lot of information about handmade smudging feathers in Grandma's Corner. Come and check the lens out. You can leave a comment on the page and let me know what you think.

Don't forget while you are there you can check out the lens for the store.

The squidoo lenses are really loaded with information and if you find something you like, you can buy it straight from the lenses.

Also, dont forget that we have a website for the store loaded with all kinds of information. Here you will be able to brwose through different tabs in the store and find things easily. Want to see the newest woodwork added to the store, go to the New Woodwork Tab.

You will want to also check the Trivia Tab on April 1st for the new trivia question. Answering the trivia question gives you a special coupon code that you can use for a purchase. This will give you the first chance at the coupon code, as it will then be open to everyone in the middle of the month.

Here are some neat facts about the store we have.

We opened our store in January, so the current information is from Jan 1- March 23, 2009

We have had 838 visitors from 36 countries and 2,564 page views.

ECrater Made Some Good Changes

The Ecrater main site has made some really good changes for store owners.

The home page for our store has changed in design. Ecrater has also added two more categories to the pain. So now instead of going to the page and having only % main categories, we now have 7.

This was great for me because it allowed me to split some categories and make them their own. We used to have one category for Indian and Religious. I split those into seperate categories. I also seperated the Clocks category from Welcome Signs and Frames. Clocks is now its own category and I created a new category called More Decor.

More Decor has all the shelves, frames, key holders, welcome signs, and more in it.

This makes shopping and finding things easier.

Please go and check out the new setup at http://poppysscrollsawwoodwork.ecrater.com/

I would also like to let everyone know that a new plaque was added to the store last night.

Squidoo

Poppy's Scroll Saw Woodwork is happy to annouce a new place where we can be found.

http://www.squidoo.com/poppys-handmade-scroll-saw-woodwork


I discovered squidoo today and found it to be a very cool place to set up shop and make our store known.

For those who don't know about squidoo, it is a place where you create a page that is called a lens. It is very easy to set up though there was a lot of trial and error in getting it the way I wanted.

One of the neatest things I discovered when making this lens, is that I could set it up so that items from the store could be purchased straight from my squidoo lens. The lens can constantly be updated and it also has many links to the different places that our store can be found.

I encourage you to check out our squidoo lens and see what you think. If you like the lens, let others know of its existence.

I will be looking for more places to add the store to but this one is the newest.

A little secret : I have been told that there is new woodwork that is going to be added very soon. Make sure you check out the website http://www.poppysscrollsawwoodwork.com in the next day or so and see if it has been added. I will also update it on the other sites once I get the information on it. Keep a look out for it :D

Deer and Elk Hide Leather Pouches

Grandma's leather pouches are handmade and hand sewn.They are cut from the hide of deer and elk. Some of her pouches are accented with beads, semi precious stones, and added fringe. The pouches are small and depending on the size can hold small items such as pocket knives, lip gloss, and whatever small items you want to keep close to you. You will find that no two bags are alike. Each is different with it's own design. Grandma no longer makes these handmade hand sewn pouches due to her health. So when you find a pouch you like, make sure you snag it because it is the only one of its kind. Native Americans used to keep small leather pouches to keep items inside that had significant meaning to them like shells, feathers, or even small pebbles.

Come checkout Grandma's Corner where you will find 22 different types of deer and elk hide leather pouches. Prices range from $6.99 and up. Also check out all of Poppy's Scroll Saw Woodwork for handmade scroll saw woodwork.

There is some very useful information on this site. You will find a New Woodwork tab that shows you the newest woodwork we have added to the store. The goal is that there can be new woodwork added at least once every two weeks or once a month. Either way, this tab gives you information about the new item and where it can be found in the store.
You will also find a Trivia tab. This will lead you to the rules of the Trivia Game and also has a form available for you to submit your answer.
A Comments tab lets you leave me any comments or questions that you might have. I will respond to you within 24 hours. I am off and on the computer working on things throughout the day so I will get back with you before you know it.
A tab called Poppys Woodwork has a slide show that runs on it. If you find a picture you like in the slide show, just click on it and you will have a link right into the store. I couldn't add a direct link to the product however the way the store is set up with categories and sub- categories, it should be pretty easy to find what you are looking for.

We also have our own email address to send me any questions or comments.
kelly@poppysscrollsawwoodwork.com
I check this email throughout the day.

We want to make your experience great. We want things to be simple for you to find and want you to feel like a part of our family.
