It's official! We have a soft launch of our new online retail store, SunnySideoftheGraveyard.com.
Why the name? Well, for many years my sign-off has been "From the Sunny Side of the Graveyard," and how fitting it is. I'm know for looking at the sunny side of things, even the paranormal. It's like shining a flashlight into a dark room. I suppose I have always used humor and sentiment to make my way through challenging times and now the idea of "Sunny Side of the Graveyard" seems more relevant than ever.
The theme of the retail store is Paranormal Culinary Lifestyle and that pretty much sums it all up for me. You'll see what I mean when you click over.
So, we found a variety of products and are continuing to add new items all the time. It's a time consuming process, and frankly, I LOVE IT! There is something very personal in it for me. I enjoy using these items and they help me to create happier and intrinsically valuable experiences.
We started the Paranormal category with candles and incense that I have come to depend on in my daily rituals and in some of the Paranormal work that I do. These are useful tools for anyone - not just mediums, witches, and paranormal researchers.
In the Culinary category, you will find a fun variety of silicone ice trays that also work great as chocolate molds. Two of the best sellers of these are the Gin and Titonic (oceanliners and icebergs) and the Cool Shooters so you can freeze your own shot glasses... OR... make chocolate cups to fill with fruit, mouse, or fresh ground almond butter.
The Lifestyle category is full of fun items that help you make a statement. My favorite item right now is the COFFINS UMBRELLA - yes, coffins on a grey field. It's COOL and very attention getting.
Also in Lifestyle is the Valentine's Day Special. The HEARTS RAINBOOTS are so cute with white hearts on a reddish pink background. They're only available in one size, UK 38 which is between size 7 and 7.5 in the USA. The number 23 has a particular significance for me so these boots are 23% off through Valentine's Day!There are many products in the works and it's been intersting to see pre-orders. We've been filling pre-orders with merchandise enroute resulting in the need to re-order. This means we haven't even been able to have them in stock yet. Wow! That was an unforseen activity and that learning curve is kind of fun too!
That's the "quick and dirty" on the soft launch. I'll post more shortly and then make a big announcement about the projected Grand Opening!
