Fresh Shops: vintagegreenpeas

I consider myself extremely lucky to have both a son and a daughter.  While there are plenty of differences, there is one that I wasn't expecting at all : people LOVE to buy clothes for girls. My son was born first and plenty of friends sent us gifts; we expected fewer gifts when my daughter was born. Um, no.  People …

Etsy Find: Beware of Dogs!

Pets are a bone of contention for my family. My son, age 4, wants a dog TODAY. (A Rottweiler, to be exact — preferably one named Manny that sleeps under his bed.)  My daughter, age 2, is very afraid of dogs.  In fact, she’s still talking about the only time she worked up the courage to pet a dog.So what pet did I find for my kids?   …

A Dude's Perspective: How to Market to Men

However, we also know that around key holidays (hello, Father's Day!), men's items featured on the front page sell very quickly. To us, that looks like an opportunity for savvy sellers …

Etsy Find: Am I Losing My Marbles?

Way back when, I wrote a few articles about gifts to buy women.  Turnabout is fair play, so the Storque asked me to write about what I want to get for Father's Day. Uh oh.  I'm horrible to shop for!  I went back through my own advice to others and picked up on this: go for something to do together. For my family, this usually …
