<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Here’s to Moms everywhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I know…it’s not Mother’s Day, but a few days ago we were featured in a
charming treasury…an Etsy gal was honoring her mom’s birthday with a curated
collection of things her mom would like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Our magnet wasn’t about moms, but it was an upbeat magnet about
retirement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Here is the treasury that featured us:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/NTk1ODgyMnwyNzI0MTYzOTEy/moms-moxie">Mom's Moxie</a></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And that brought me to thinking about my mom and all that
she does to help me in my business.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Just as I was thinking about all this, the phone rang and it
was my mother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had a lead for me from a
museum that she had visited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now you
have to understand that during the 20 years we have been in business making magnets,
mom has always “introduced” us wherever she travels.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now, at 80 something (I’m not allowed to tell you exactly
how old she is…LOL) and going strong, she is still my “star” salesperson!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanks Mom! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Two other “Mom” Etsy Treasuries that we were featured in this

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Check them out…some of the curated collection treasury items
were humorous, others touching, others just plain nice gifts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mother’s Day is coming and there are lots of
nice selections.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thanks to the Treasury curators who selected us for their
collections!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Have you ever been to Saratoga Springs? It's a magical place! So many things to do and see, including strolling and shopping in the victorian downtown. I've been going there for many years. My brother and his family have lived there for a long time and my mom moved there about six years ago and lives on Saratoga Lake . It really has become my second home. I've also done quite a bit of business there over the years where our magnets have been sold in gift shops, museums and farm markets. We make quite a number of Saratoga specific designs from original paintings I have done, several of which I have posted here. One of the shops, <a href="http://www.craftersgallerysaratoga.com/">The Crafters Gallery</a>, is pictured here. We've had <a href="http://www.themagnificentmagnet.etsy.com/">our magnets</a> in their shop since they opened over 15 years ago. They carry both our Regional Saratoga Magnets as well as our Quotes and Sayings Magnets. Visitors love to take a memento home from their trip and our Saratoga magnets are a great little souvenir. They also buy a lot of our Quotes and Sayings magnets for themselves and for gifts. Here are examples of some of the regional magnets we have for sale there.</div>

The museum is a program of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. It was established in 1986 and is the only museum in the United States dedicated entirely to dance. Located in the former Washington Bath House, a spacious, airy 1918 Arts and Crafts-style building in the Saratoga Spa State Park (another wonderful place with many things to do and see, the museum houses a growing collection of photographs, videos, artifacts, costumes, biographies and archives comprising a contemporary and retrospective examination of influential contributions to dance available to the general public.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
There is studio space on the property for advanced students in ballet and dance programs to enroll in master classes with renowned dancers, rehearse in sessions open to the public and participate in pre-performance conversation with visiting professionals. Education, residencies, and performance on the Museum campus enriches the atmosphere by representing the future of dance, as well as its past.<br />

This grand facility is available for rental by individuals or groups, for catered weddings, gatherings and events.</div>

<br />
The Etsy Treasuries that we were featured in during the month of July are listed here. Take a look at the collection of curated items with a central theme. We were very pleased to be selected as part of these collections of Etsy artists.<br />
<br />
Here's a cute treasury for "us girls."<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqDBPQLq21z2PU9marCk4R49JL7TpvBuF3xyrIzHz_N0bvNDSpVYtAwxciCf3vhgaEDQGsp9GbtS2cUdqjl3jduuzfs_Afo7VvVUKjWlz5BIAvoHl8UVqJhSQwmNIeBzO7Tod_mGhpgqw/s1600/Thank+heaven..jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" eda="true" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqDBPQLq21z2PU9marCk4R49JL7TpvBuF3xyrIzHz_N0bvNDSpVYtAwxciCf3vhgaEDQGsp9GbtS2cUdqjl3jduuzfs_Afo7VvVUKjWlz5BIAvoHl8UVqJhSQwmNIeBzO7Tod_mGhpgqw/s200/Thank+heaven..jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
This is the one that was selected for this treasury, but click below to see the entire collection. Titled: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTk0NzU2Mzh8MjcyMDQ1NDAxNw/girls-just-want-to-have-fun">Girls Just Want to have Fun</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
Another Treasury that I liked is titled <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTEwMTEzMjd8MjcyMzAzODUwMA/life-is-about-creating-yourself">Life is About Creating Yourself </a><br />
<br />
And finally, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/MTI4OTI5OTl8MjcyMzA0NjI0Mg/primary-lifesaver">Primary Lifesaver</a>, a curated collection of art and craft of primary colors.<br />
<br />
JULY FAVORITES<br />
<br />
And our top five Etsy "Favorites" that were selected for the month were ALL for supplies of our Magnet Sheets or our Ceramic Tile Magnet Blanks. Make Your Own Magnets is very popular for creating your own special wedding favors, party favors, and Save the Date magnets. It's also great for turning your child's art into a magnet. Our previous blog entry has instructions for making your own magnets.<br />

We also feature <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/101773211/ceramic-tile-magnet-blanks-white-glazed">ceramic tile blanks</a> that can be painted and embellished with your choice of craft items. Painting can be done with glass paint or markers or you can use regular craft acrylic paint and then spray it with an acrylic gloss glaze. A sharpie pen works well to write your message on top of the glazed magnet.</div>

Purchase our magnet sheets in small quantities of 3 sheets that are each 7 x 10 inches. Our magnetic sheets are .030 inches thick...sturdy and strong.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are the simple instructions for creating your custom magnets:</span><br />

<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Proudly display your
favorite photos, child’s artwork, or memento on your fridge!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Great party favors for birthdays, family
gatherings, clubs, and other events.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Perfect stocking stuffers, teacher and bus driver gifts for end of year presents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Use your computer to create all kinds of
things to put on a magnet!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">1.</span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">To
begin, select the photo or artwork you would like to make into a magnet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You might want to crop it a bit bigger than
the final magnet to allow a bit of space to trim down the edge.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">2.</span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Cut
a piece of magnet a little larger than the size of the finished artwork size,
leaving the paper backing on.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">

</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">To
make placing the artwork or photo on the magnet a little easier, place the
magnet piece on a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>metal cookie sheet to
hold it in place.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">

</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Peel
back about an inch of the paper backing and place your artwork face up on the
sticky surface of the magnet. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now carefully
peel the rest of the paper backing away and smooth the artwork on the magnet as
you peel the backing away, to make sure there are no air bubbles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A brayer (roller) or even a rolling pin or a
glass works well.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">

</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Trim
the artwork that is on the magnet to desired size.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A paper cutter works well for straight edges
if you have one, otherwise use a pair of sharp scissors and cut around the
artwork, photo or shape.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Had a wonderful day in the garden. Hope you enjoyed your day too!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Just looking at the different Etsy "Favorites" magnets for the month of June from our <a href="http://www.themagnificentmagnet.etsy.com/">Etsy Shop</a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A "Favorite's" tag for those of you who may not know, is when someone clicks that they like a certain piece of your work or they like your entire shop. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We thought we'd pick a few of the many tagged favorites for the month of June. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's part of our new </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheMagnificentMagnet?section_id=10661689"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">MAGNET SUPPLIES section</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> on Etsy. We decided that people might like to put <em>their</em> "stuff" on a magnet and enjoy it on their fridge. Others might like to create their own wedding favors, save the dates, or magnets for a family reunion. So we are now offering our <em>Magnetic Sheets</em> and simple suggestions about How Make Your Own Magnet. We also have ceramic tile magnet blanks that can be painted on and sprayed with an acrylic glaze. We're hoping to get our decals available soon with instructions for water slide application onto the tiles.</span></div>

Happy Friday!<br />
<br />
We are excited to be launching a new product...magnetic <a href="https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/TheMagnificentMagnet/sections/11709265">BOOKMARKS</a>! These laminated little works of art come in our sayings and quote designs as well as our regional designs. Any of our magnet designs can be made into a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/102199413/magnetic-lighthouse-bookmark-currituck">bookmark</a>...we are slowly converting all of our artwork to reflect this, but if someone lets us know, we can created a bookmark of their choice. These place holders for books are double sided art that fits over the page and snaps closed. The magnet makes the bookmark stay in place so you won't lose you place.<br />
<br />
We have launched this on <a href="http://www.themagnificentmagnet.etsy.com/">http://www.themagnificentmagnet.etsy.com/</a> and will be offering it in our wholesale catalogs shortly.<br />
<br />
Here is an example of our new magnetic product.<br />

Today is the first day of my blog!<br />
<br />
I hope to use this blog for a gallery of the <a href="http://www.themagnificentmagnet.com/">magnets</a> we are creating for the gift shops, museums, historic sites and wineries that we sell to around the country, as well as new items we are posting daily to our retail shop on <a href="http://www.themagnificentmagnet.etsy.com/">Etsy</a>. <br />
<br />
I also want to use our blog to promote our different customers who have locations that are interesting to visit and organizations we belong to that we feel are notable.<br />
<br />
One of the organizations we recently joined is the <a href="http://museumstoreassociation.org/">Museum Store Association</a> where we feature our <a href="http://www.themagnificentmagnet.com/">magnets</a> for museums and historic sites. If you are a museum or historic site, this group is well worth joining as the members are a teriffic networking group and it is a very interactive site.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Another group we are associated with is <a href="http://www.orangetourism.org/">Orange County Tourism</a> in New York State's scenic and historic Hudson Valley. I just came back from a meeting last week where Scott Levy of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FirstBrainMedia?sk=app_200080506695428">First Brain Media</a> spoke on Social Networking. The OC Tourism group meets, exchanges brochures and networks on great things to do in Orange County. We gained a new customer from this meeting, <a href="http://www.gillinderglassstore.com/Tours.htm">Gillinder Glass Factory</a> in Port Jervis, NY and are making custom Gillinder Glass logo <a href="http://www.themagnificentmagnet.com/">magnets</a> for them.</div>

This company is one of the oldest glass making companies in the United States! They give interesting tours, have a glass store on premises, and is a fun thing to do in Orange County!</div>
