Christmas Ornament Sets and Store Information

We are very excited about the new category we added to the store today. Christmas Ornaments.
We added 14 sets of handmade scroll saw ornaments to the store. These ornament sets are made from either wood, mirrored plexiglass, or used CD's. Pictured are just some examples of what you will find in that category.

If you are looking for the More Decor category in the store, it was moved to Misc Plaques to make a place for our ornament category.

We also made some changes on our personal website for the store.
Poppy's Scroll Saw Woodwork Website

With Christmas only 3 months away we want to make it easier to find what you need. Keep checking the New Woodwork Tabs and Specials Tab to stay up to date on new woodwork and what sales are available.

We also do custom woodwork and so if you are planning on trying to have something special made, now the is the time to get that ball rolling. You can look on our website and in the store for details and guidelines for that.

We already have one custom woodwork project in the works so dont get left behind or wait too long.

Store Update

It has been awhile since we updated this blog about information
on the store.
As I was going through the previous posts I realized that the newest plaque was not added.

You can click above to find out more information about this plaque.


Recently we have been working on updating the store address on all the search engines and have successfully gone through a rather extensive list.

Also within the last 48 hours we were invited to join a new website and list the store. It is a very amazing site and there were a lot of creative juices that went into the creation of this site. I was really impressed with how the site was set up and so I have spent the morning setting our store up on the site. Please go and check out our listing on the Memories Superhighway. http://memoriessuperhighway.ning.com/profile/poppysscrollsawwoodwork

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.

Change in Shipping Costs

The USPS is in the process of changing the amount it costs to ship items. We have had to increase the shipping rates on the larger items in our store from $6.95 to $9.95. If that seems a lot than I implore you to consider a couple of things,

1. We have to adjust with the post office

2. A huge consideration is that wood plaques and some clocks weigh more than shipping a shirt or a piece of jewelry and require a little more packing to prevent breakage.

We recently shipped a custom order to a buyer and because of the size and special packing required, it cost $41.00 to ship.

Poppy puts a lot of love and care into the work he does and we want to make sure that it arrives to you undamaged.

Make sure you check out the store for new handmade scroll saw plaques, handmade deer and elk hide leather pouches and handmade smudging feather.

Store Update and Two New Plaques

Our Easter sale was a success and we sold 2 plaques. We also had another plaque sell that is being customized to the buyers' specifications. Very good news for us.

There has been a change made to Poppy's Scroll Saw Woodwork Website. The trivia idea was a bust. That is okay though, that is how we find out what works. I discovered that a lot of people, when they come to the website, are more interested in seeing what new woodwork has been added. So, with the deletion of the Trivia Tab, I have added a new tab called More New Woodwork. This was especially handy because I added two new scroll saw plaques to the store this morning.

" Head of this Home "

" Never Forgotten "

To see these new scroll saw plaques and more, go and check out the store.

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.

Uncommon Valor

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.
