Hi Raven,
I don't understand the photo, but I don't get out much. :/
.
I was up by the Canadian border today, I think you are on the opposite side of the country though.

Raven,
I never thought about testing the buying more than one, I did think it would be great if it would.
It did seem to make a bit of a difference.
Since I want you to succeed, I went ahead with the order. Money in your pocket can make a guy dangerous.
.
Best of luck with your endeavors.

P.S.
On money changing hands, I owed a friend some money. Ed showed me Zelle, a bank to bank platform that had zero charges. I don't know if it would work for you, I am sure you would need cash in hand before sending products, I would.

Hi Raven,
I just placed an order for one of your calendars, that shipping and handling is a sticker-shock-moment.
I was thinking of sending one to each of my four sisters, two in Iowa, two in Arizona, but at 40 dollars for shipping.... Not too sure now.
You evidently need a method of getting orders fulfilled on this side of the border.
.
On marketing, I always have ideas there.
My mind just went off a tangent... Seems to me one of the permie people's was a contributor to Mother Earth magazine.
On that idea, I was thinking an interesting article talking about the hurdles of money-making down on the farm might pique an editor into publishing it. Hence getting your products in the limelight. Same with that Grit magazine.
.
I am always going back to Jay Abraham's host-beneficiary relationships. Your products, someone else who has the counter space(maybe a few at your local convenience store), the customers, the rabid buyers.
My niece has a blog where she features items she likes, or has been sent for her to hawk.
There's countless blogs, and businesses that might like to trade their mention for a percentage of the profit.
.
In the meantime, I want to skip the Etsy middleman, deal directly with you. How do I send you the $$ for 8 of these, and I will ship from here... Maybe at book rate.
I'm the West Virginia order on Etsy.

Do you already have examples of successful SkIPper's?

I have my own old house that I need to remodel.
I liked the idea of your open kitchen model, and I am wondering if it is working out for you?

I have a new sink to install, but the counter is in need of updating, as well as the cabinets. It's amazing how one thing leads to another, and another.

I love your pantry.

You probably already addressed this somewhere, but doesn't the metal roof transfer a ton of hot and cold to your home?

Holy smokes!
You sure have created a beautiful project.
My internet is a bit slow, so I only have seen a small fraction of pictures and videos.
I think you have more artsy skill in your pinky, than I have in my whole body.
Especially liked the king bed with kid area at foot of bed, I really hated our previous home as the baby's room was three rooms away. Now that he's almost a teenager, I can appreciate separation.
Definitely will check out your YouTube channel.

Congratulations,
Mike
