Raige Creations on Artfire.com is now open!

-
I am proud to announce that Raige Creations is now open on Artfire.com - see my new studio here.

Artfire is a another online marketplace that supports handmade, but there unique and innovative feature and functions make it feel like they REALLY want your business to succeed.  The features I like, so far, are that I have a 'studio', where you can see all things Raige: my shop listing all the items for sale (handmade AND Vintage), a blog, where I can share my creative musings, and a gallery where I can showcase items that have sold. In my bio, in addition to the usual blurbs about me, I can show photos of more personal things like pieces I loved to create that aren't for sale, or pieces that I just hate to part with.

Another features of Artfire.com I really like is that there is no account required to purchase on Artfire. You do not have to sign up and create a password. I think that may help some people I know have access to my online store - they do not want more accounts and passwords to remember.
Also, you can add items you like to your Amazon.com wish lists! I am a huge fan of Amazon wish lists - they help me get through Christmas every year. So this feature will work particularly well for me.

Picnic Pack c. 1950's

The first item in for sale at Raige Creations on Artfire is this Picnic Pack, from sometime in the 1950's. This is such a good idea - I am not sure why they didn't really take off. 

You can cook in them, stack them all up to keep the food safe and warm, and then take it with you wherever you need to go with lots of food.  
5 different pans to keep your
your food safe and warm.
   
It still has the lable on it that details all the great features of the picnic pack.  My favorite is the 'extra long, removable carrying bail doubles as hanging handle over campfire', and the picture of the campfire. I also like the artwork of the family, dressed in iconic 50's wear waving to those of us reading the lable. 
Great vintage lable with 50's artwork and copy.
I am still working on getting all the features in my studio completed.  But I was excited to get things started.  You won't find this Picnic Pack in either of my other stores, only here on Artfire.
I am taking this week to add more items, some things never seen before at Raige Creations and Vintage Raige.  It is exciting, and I am looking forward to learning more, and creating more, and enjoying the process with this great new site.

Let me know what you think!

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

-

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
