Sharon, call me if you are intersted. We probably sold a couple of throusand of these baskets for gifts and made lots of money for our NP Society Chapter. Takes a little energy and a bit of assistance from your family/employees but it is fun. Make a cookbook showing the recipes for what you are selling. Whatever. We sold them like hotcakes. 928-753-2829. Just a draw for your stand and a lot of fun. We made tons of homemade jams and jellys and sold them but it would work for anything.

Rest of the message Rosie. Betty

You asked for ideas to add to your market Rosie. This is what we did for the NM Native Plant Society and made lots of money for our Chapter, Otero Ct.. We made baskets for gifts. Buy all of the small baskets in your thrift stores. You must have a paper shredder with your business. Buy crape paper different colors. Shred it for basket stuffing with your paper shredder. You have the number of people in your business to take a morning to make homemade paper. Your husband is talented as you said. Make decals. Screens to dip the paper on. Have woold squares larger than the decals, 8 by 10 inches or so, flip the paper onto the wool, then lay on a flat surface to dry for a day or two.

Yes, HMK, I am. Just haven't gotten over there yet. Last year I started but was a drop out. This year I'll try and do better.

Are ya going to play football with us? Puttgirl started a thread. We do it every year.
