If you can't find IT here, part XIII

Are you ready for another great edition of “If you can’t find it here”?  I'm here to help you find that perfect gift for a friend, a neighbor, that very special person in your life or yourself.

Every day there’s a special occasion in someone’s life.  Well I can pretty much guarantee you that perfect gift, “IT” can be found quicker than you ever imagined possible! 

No time to shop?  Let me help.  You can tell me what you are interested in and I will shop for you!  Contact me via the comment section below or e-mail me by clicking here.

I would like to introduce some great artisans’ who have been nice enough to include my All Things Wood shop in their circle on Etsy making it easy for me to grab their shop link, I randomly pop in on their shops, see what they have to offer and let you know what I find.  I will include their shop link so you can stop by for some window shopping.  I will point out a few items that I find, tell you if they have any specials going on and what kind of customer reviews they receive via their feedback area.

The creations these Artisans’ have to offer are unique, more often than not, one of a kind and handmade by the artist who is also the shop owner.  There are also collectors and sellers of Vintage goods, and antiques and there are supply shops that provide everything you can imagine.

Our folks are located worldwide and these shops are always open so feel free to stop by any time of the day or night. You will enjoy a most wonderful shopping experience with folks who care and give you excellent and personal customer service.  Unlike some of the mall shops and big named stores who have sales clerks who either act as if we aren't there or treat us like we owe them something; these shop owners take pride in their art and they do care about you.

****************I stopped by to see the following folks today.

Krissy Anne Designs - Kristin is a full time student hoping to get into Veterinary school (good luck Kristin).

Kristin Loves making things, especially purses, totes clutches wallets and dog accessories.  I found a really cute Black and white clutch and a really handy all in one wallet that has space for twelve cards (space does allow for doubling up the cards if you need to) and a exterior zipper pocket to hold that bundle of bills and your change, very nice. I also saw some dog collars that come in sizes from x-small to x-large so there’s something for all of your furry dog pals!  She also has E-reader covers, backpacks and key holders.  A great shop to browse, so please pop in to see her.  Kristin's customers have nothing but good things to say about her and her service, she has 100% positive reviews.  I didn't see any discount offers or sales in this shop today.

Totally Tanya‘Totally” makes a variety of things; let's start with her.  Bibs and burp cloths -wow, so creative, cute and colorful. Then there’s her jewelry, she has a really cute dragonfly pearl cloisonné set, so pretty.  She also makes ‘catch all’ boxes, knit wearand more.  This is a great variety shop so be sure to pop in and say hi to Tanya.  Her feedback rating is at 100% positive with her customers absolutely loving their purchase and the great service they received.  Tanya offers discount coupon information if you check out her facebook page.

NOTE: : There's a great team that I just joined recently called Addicted to BNR’s (A2BNR) and it is a great venue to find some great deals and to increase your sales if you are a seller – we are over 600 members strong and growing looking forward to having you as a member.  Tell A2 I sent you when you sign up. Join the team by clicking here

Not familiar with the term BNR?  BNR stand for Buy and Replace, it is a live treasury that has a host (curator) who welcomes people who stop by to shop.  If you’re an Etsy seller then what happens is that when you purchase an item from one of the ‘featured sellers’ in the treasury, the host will select an item from your shop to replace the shop that you bought from.  So now you are a featured seller and hopefully someone will buy from your shop and this goes on until the BNR closes.  It's possible to come away with multiple sales.  There are buyers who don’t have shops but for them they are getting great price mark downs, deductions and discounts from sellers who wouldn’t normally offer these deals in their shop but do offer them in the BNR’s in order to increase their sales.

This is a team where everyone can find some great deals, great discounts and great conversation as everyone likes to chat it up. You don’t have to buy but there are so many great goodies that it’s really hard to resist, hence the "addicted" reference.  For sellers increased sales are inevitable and the exposure you get from participating is wonderful not to mention making new friends.  Join the team by clicking here.

I will be co-hosting a fast moving BNR this evening (4/28/11), stop by to see what’s going on and to say hi!  You’ll have a great time and tell me you read this article for a 25% discount from my shop! 

I won’t have the link until later this evening but I will post it to my shop profile at 6:30ish EST. COME ONE, COME ALL! I look forward to meeting you.
