What's new today?

I've been busy doing research and trying to find more wholesale sources. I didn't sell at the flea market this weekend. I felt a little lazy, and it was too hot and humid anyway.

I've also been trying to redo the blog template with little success. I'm trying to add my 'smallbizlinks webring' code unsuccessfully. My old site (before FUSE messed it up) had a javascript navbar supplied by http://www.webring.org It is pretty cool, actually. But for some reason the blog template won't let me add the code. I'm still trying! :-)

Anyhoo... I've been waiting to order new merchandise, in preparation for Father's Day next weekend. I *may* get some of the proverbial 'father's day ties' to use as an upsell or backend added value for my good old mainstay, watches. Speaking of which, more new watches due sometime in the next few days.

I now specialize in watches, sunglasses (another order coming this week), necklaces, and new this week are 'cooling bandannas'!

These things are really neat! They really work too! I got a sample from the mfg... they are a sewn bandana filled with some absorbant material that 'plumps' and absorbs 1000 times it's weight in water. You soak them in cool water for 1/2 hour and then tie it around your neck. It cools by evaporation. It really works! I've got a bulk pack and a display unit coming this week as well. I'm going to set up a cooler of water and a display sign, and sell them for $3 each or 2 for $5. I think they'll sell well in this hot, humid Ohio summer weather.

Enough for now... Here's some interesting links:
