New Feature Added To ECrater Stores
The newest feature added is called Gallery View. Before, when a buyer would go to the store, they would see items listed with small pictures and the title.
Now, with Gallery View, the whole page is pictures with part of the title added beneath it. This gives the buyer the ability to browse through the items better and also get a little bit bigger picture of what they are looking for.
It is a feature that I am very excited about because it gives our woodwork and other items in the store a lot more exposure.
I commend Ecrater on all their hardwork and for the amazing features and changes they are adding to help our stores be even better.
If you haven't checked out our store yet, this is a good time to see what the new changes look like and perhaps find something you might like.

Store Update May 5, 2009
I am very excited to annouce that Poppy's Scroll Saw Woodwork is now featured on the home page of one of the sites I update reguarly. Check it out at this link http://ecrater.ning.com
As you know from a past post, we are now on Twitter. We currently have 104 followers and to my amazement have actually gotten some hits on the store from twitter. Some of our followers include Popular Woodworking, Scroll Saw Woodworking and Craft Magazine, Delta Woodworks, and Scroll Saw Goodies.
We have added new woodwork which is also listed in previous posts on this blog and also added to our website http://www.poppysscrollsawwoodwork.com
Ecrater has added a new feature to our stores that is pretty cool. Now when you click on an item and are looking at it , at the bottom of the page you will see pictures and links to 6-8 other items that can be found in the store. Its a great feature that allows some of our items to get some more exposure and will allow buyers to also view things they might not have noticed or seen before.
Thank you Ecrater.

Tuesday's Feature Nature Plaque
Deer and Eagle11 1/2"h by 6 1/2 w
Plaque : Oak
Cutouts : Baltic Birch
If you or someone you know is a hunter or wildlife lover, this plaque is a great edition for the wall. Poppy used different colored stains for the background and the deer and the eagle.
Fun Facts: Eagles: Only two species in North America. Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle. Eagles will use the same nest every year.
Deer : Once a deer has claimed a territory, they won't leave it. They would starve rather than leave that area. Deer can live up to 11 years in the wild.

Nature Week

This week we are going to feature Nature Plaques that we have in the store. Today's plaque is the Pheasants.
This plaque is 10"h by 14"w. The frame is made out of Poplar and the cutouts are made out of Baltic Birch.
We used a close up of this picture to allow you to see the detail and cuts in this plaque. Different color stains help to give the pheasants color along with their background.
If you or someone you know is a hunter or wildlife lover, this plaque is a great edition for the wall.
Fun Facts: Pheasants are a very popular game bird. There are over 35 species in the world. The males are larger than females and have longer tail feathers. They mostly eat seeds and small insects. If you see a group of pheasants together on the ground, they are called a Nye.
