But him and I have pretty different taste in that kind of thing.<BR/><BR/>But it all mute at this point anyhow since I found his old hat. Plus he has a hard to fit (large) head so buying online probably wouldn't be the best idea for him.<BR/><BR/>It would be fine for me, but I have a hat that I like.Marissa L.

It is a problem with women's hats being tagged men and therefore coming up in searches. <BR/><BR/>I find searching on the site for something new to be incredibly frustrating. I buy either from shops I already know or from people I see on the homepage. Even the baby category which is relatively small is difficult. The idea of searching for jewelry makes my head explode.Marissa L.

Maria Arango would know the answer! she's a marketing Saint :) heck, she's managed to get her woodcut images on the sides of city buses!!! i challenge YOU, Marissa, to do that in Boston! better hurry before someone else sees this :) your images ROCK.Bette Norcross Wappner --https://www.blogger.com/profile/04458670015305220788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19102011.post-40412866673753167912007-12-11T00:00:00.001-05:002007-12-11T00:00:00.001-05:00sorry to leave another comment. you should get th...sorry to leave another comment. you should get those Etsy people to crochet/knit caps for men as well. but then alot of home-crafted items aren't geared toward men because men don't need them, carry them, or want them. at least that's what i've experienced. although, the t-shirt business at Etsy seems to be booming. i've been thinking about printing on t-shirts just to target men as well.Bette Norcross Wappner --https://www.blogger.com/profile/04458670015305220788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19102011.post-59978837127952475692007-12-11T00:00:00.000-05:002007-12-11T00:00:00.000-05:00It isn't bad, but it isn't easy for sure.

Did you know that I have four blogs that all have the same content? Just so I can reach as many people as possible. I used to have more but I ditched Myspace at the beginning of the year.<BR/><BR/>I do okay but certainly not well enough to make a dent in our Boston mortgage. <BR/><BR/>Again, not stopping online, I just want to spread myself out a bit.Marissa L.
