Flip MinoHD Camcorders : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More

Gary Krakow, the gadget guy at TheStreet.com, visits the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and heaps high praises on the Flip MinoHD Camcorder - see the video

Guess what? Check it out - I have these Flip MinoHD camcorders (and the Flip Mino camcorders) in my Music Stuff & More store @ CafePress

See the Flip MinoHD at the top of this post. (That's a high-resolution NASA photo of the Earth's Western Hemisphere shown on that Flip MinoHD displayed here.)

Of course, I have music Flip MinoHDs, as well as Flip MinoHDs with peace symbols, as well as other graphics.

Love Notes : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More

Valentine's Day is coming and the Valentine stuff is back in Music Stuff & More @ CafePress.

Linked above are the Music Love Notes: In red or black - a treble clef with heart, a bass clef with heart, or a eighth note with heart.


This Valentine section also includes lots of my "Fermata (Hold) Me" graphic merchandise. (There's other "Hold Me" merchandise on CafePress, but mine was the first, and, IMHO, the best. Also popular.) The "All-Black Fermata (Hold) Me" is shown below.

New Graphics, New Merch & Just Plain Store News

Yes, I did put up those Obama-Biden graphics I wrote about Obama-Biden in my last post. I gambled that Joe Biden would be Obama's vice-presidential pick - and, obviously, I won.

Check out some of these Obama-Biden goods

Have I mentioned the new CafePress clocks here yet? Check out some of my new clocks.

The new Junior Jerseys have arrived @ CafePress. Also, find new ceramic travel mugs (nice for gifts).

Other new graphics besides the Obama-Biden ones - new music graphics, such as the two new green eighth-note graphics.

Check this out if you still need back-to-school items. Do note that there's new-and-improved journals.

Easy on your pocketbook in these challenging economic times, check out some of my CafePress under-$10 merchandise. Find some of these in the Back-to-School section as well as in the "Bernanke Bargain Bin" (filled with music graphics, and other graphics too, such as Earth, peace symbols, nerdy/geeky stuff, Christian crosses, flowers, etc.). Check out these affordable merchandise links:

~ Cheap School Stuff @ www.cafepress.com/chmdesign/5876855 (Priced @ under $10)

And, don't forget my new Music Stuff & More @ Zazzle store. This Zazzle store has musical Circle of Fifths round keychains, the musical Keds shoes, and other merchandise not available at CafePress. Pictured below is one of the Circle of Fifths Zazzle keychains, look for the same in other colors and styles.

There's been a lot happening the past month or two: new store (Zazzle), closed store (the former "For Women Old Enough... store"), new graphics, new merchandise... (Whew.)

Finally, do note that I still will be offering almost all the graphics and merchandise once found in the former, now-closed, For Women Old Enough... store. (For one thing, they sold well!) I've also got a few "grannygear"-type items in my new Zazzle store, such as this pink "Granny Boomer" T-Shirt. So, watch for these "For Women Old Enough..." graphics on merchandise at my stores at both Zazzle and CafePress. (Yes, more later on this.)

I strongly recommend that you sign up for my monthly CafePress newsletter. It's a good news summary for my CafePress store, a newsletter I've been sending out every single month for years. Find the newsletter sign-up on the side-bar of this blog as well as on the Storefront of my Music Stuff & More @ CafePress store.

Enjoy the Fall, the Election, and the new school year!

Bedazzled by Zazzle, also Store Closing

Say "Hello" to my new Zazzle store - Music Stuff & More (also look under "chmayer"). (Gee, where have we heard that Music Stuff & More store name before...? hmmm...? scratching my head... ; )

And say "Good-bye" to my "For Women Old Enough to Know Better", a.k.a. grannygear, store, which will be closed by August.

However, the "For Women Old Enough..." store is still open as I speak, and with a Junior Jersey Blow-Out Clearance Farewell and Closing Sale, at that. I have marked my Junior Jersey prices way down throughout the store. Add my mark-down to CafePress's Junior Jersey mark-down starting next Monday, and you've got lots of savings. Take advantage - after all, school and Fall are coming before you know it. Get your nifty cheap Jerseys now.

Back to "For Women Old Enough..." store... This CafePress Premium Store originated when CafePress offered me a free six-months deal for me to upgrade my Basic Store (a free store, but with limited options) to a Premium Store. I took up CafePress's offer, even though I was already busy with my first and original CafePress Premium Store, Music Stuff & More.

"For Women Old Enough..." store did well those first six free months, so I kept it. It has always more than paid its way, still does, but I like the idea of consolidation now - it's easier, more convenient, simpler, for me and, I believe, for you customers. Oh, and there'll be one less store to make payments on...

You will now find your favorite graphics and merchandise from "For Women Old Enough..." store @ my Music Stuff & More store. (As you may have noticed, many of these graphics and merch have been there already.) Look in the "& More" area for your favorite non-musical graphics. I'm in the process of "revealing" them soon, after I get them all tidy and ready-for-primetime.

So, "For Women Old Enough..." is open now as I write, with great deals on Junior Jerseys, even now, more so starting next Monday.

Related, I haven't figured out yet what to do with the "For Women Old Enough...", a.k.a. Groovy Ladies, Blog. It will remain open and running until I can figure out what to do with it, a decisiion which will be made sometime before long...

Now, back to Zazzle. I am only just starting out my modest, much smaller Music Stuff & More store on Zazzle. You will see some familiar music graphics, also a peace symbol, the Earth, an Obama graphic - not much yet. Yes, it will be mostly *Music Stuff*. Zazzle offers some merch that CafePress doesn't, so I will be taking advantage of that. Also, I have a mini- Zazzle storefront in my Facebook Profile. Handy! (Do note, also, that I have a "CafePress Listing" Facebook Profile "app" where you can view and shop at my CafePress Music Stuff & More store, as well.)

Finally, to sum up, Junior Jersey sales @ my CafePress stores, my new Zazzle store, and the impending close (by August) of "For Women Old Enough..." store.

I'll soon be putting up links for Zazzle, also Facebook. To find me *now* on Facebook, give me a "Facebook Poke" or drop me a message, so I can "let you in." I'm using my real name on Facebook. Any combination of "Carolyn Hanson Mayer" should do and get you to my Profile. If you just plain want to visit my new Zazzle store, stop by Music Stuff & More on Zazzle. Look for "chmayer."

Keep cool!

New Grafs & New Merch, with Images

Images of just a couple of my many new items... Above, the new Raspberry Baseball Cap with the new "InfiniStitch Embroidery." Below is one of the Obama graphics, somewhat obviously. This graphic looks great on buttons - I know, I ordered ten mini-buttons myself and am very pleased with how they turned out.

A few links to some of my new graphics and new merchandise:

See Music Stuff & More store's "Sales & Features" and "NEW NEW NEW" section and 2008 Election & 4th of July (Americana, generally, also includes Obama stuff). And still more Obama stuff in the "& More" section

(Yes, the above is a copy-and-paste from the "For Women Old Enough..." blog, I confess. I'm hot and tired...yes... Another excuse: I live in a fiery state, a.k.a. California. And, as the old song goes, smoke gets in my eyes...)

NEW for *this* blog, and this blog only: Have I mentioned my presence on Facebook yet? Yes, I am there, you can find me under my real name. Drop me a "Poke" or a message. You'll find ads for my CafePress premium store, as well as my brand-new, under-construction (isn't my stuff always under construction...??!) Zazzle store. *This blog* is found on my Facebook Profile Page. See there, also, photos of my Zazzle products.

Yes, I need to put links to Facebook and my Zazzle "gallery" here ASAP. Please look for them here soon.

More New Merch & New Graphics!

It's suddenly gotten very busy around the store lately thanks to CafePress's introduction of several new products, as well as the introduction of its new "InfiniStitch Embroidery" technique.

What all is new...

~ Maternity T-Shirts are now available in the color "Pink", in additon to the original "White." See samples @ http://www.cafepress.com/chmdesign/5584553
~ Have I mentioned the new Pet Bowls yet? In small and large sizes. See samples @ http://www.cafepress.com/chmdesign/5560079
~ And, there's the new merchandise that the "InfiniStitch Embroidery" goes on: a nifty green military-style cap, a faded red baseball cap, a light-blue denim long-sleeved shirt, black polo shirts for men and another for women, and black jackets for men and for women. Check out samples of these new goods here.
~ As for new Graphics...
= A new version of "Democratic Progress" (the graphic has been extended, using stars and stripes, so it would fit the sizing for the new "InfiniStitch Embroidery" process mentioned above).
= A new version of Piano Keyboard (again, extended to fit the sizing for the new "InfiniStitch Embroidery - in this case, the same graphic is merely resized, with no other changes)
= The new Round Green Treble Clef, pictured above on a round magent, designed with the "InfiniStitch Embroidery" in mind, but is also being used on any and all other merchandise for which it's suitable. http://www.cafepress.com/chmdesign/5564304 in the "Music Merchandise" area's "Green Treble Clef" section.

Green Green Green!

Featuring GREEN in the Music Stuff & More store right now - St. Patrick's Day is coming up, for one thing.

Also, the Earth has become more popular (well, it always has been popular for most of us, but, you know...). Earth Day is coming next month.

Green is a more popular color than it used to be, symbolizing Earth, the environment, etc. as it does.

In sum, Green is in.

Green shirts and green graphics (music stuff - and more) are being featured in the Music Stuff & More store.

Note that if you wish to save some green, in that the economy bleeps these days, pick up some cheap little stuff in my store, such as buttons, stickers, magnets... Value tees, too @ only $9.99.

Music Stuff & More store

The Big 3.5" Buttons Now Available

Beginning to be available in both my big CafePress stores in the "Sales & Features" sections of...

Music Stuff & More

and the...

For Women Old Enough...store

Yes, it's Halloween, so that means I'm starting to roll out my holiday goods (we retailers are all alike ; ). You'll start seeing signs of the impending holidays in the "Sales & Features" sections mentioned above.

FYI, CafePress has stabilized since its recent rockiness. Pricing, etc. has settled down. (We storekeepers were getting a little upset to find some of our $20 merch suddenly costing $40! Etc. That has been solved.)

BTW, happy Halloween. Don't let the bats bite.

SALES & FEATURES : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More : CafePress.com

SALES & FEATURES : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More : CafePress.com

A good place to start with what's going on...

Please note the new "Clock Shop", the 2008 calendars, the fancy new tile boxes, "Back-to-School" section. The CafePress End-of-Summer Sale. You also may see some graphics you haven't seen before, or other new items.

And, of course, always good to peek into the "NEW NEW NEW" section

CafePress Stores News Updates

Apparently before the week is out, the following will happen at my CafePress stores. Quoting a CafePress spokesperson...

Upgraded:
-- The Jr. Baby Doll T-Shirt will be upgraded to the Jr. Jersey T-Shirt
-- 2 new colors: light pink (#35), light blue (#31) [hurray! colors!]
-- Jr. Jersey T-Shirt is $18.99 [this price does not reflect my mark-up]
-- Jr. Baby Doll T-Shirts already in shops will automatically update to the Jr. Jersey T-Shirt (including price to reflect your mark up) [this means that many of these neat new shirts will automatically appear throughout my stores, without your having to wait for me to get around to adding them - a very good thing for us all]

Discontinued:
These items will automatically be removed from your shop. [This is something I've previously mentioned. I've done some of this removal already, especially of the out-dated first-class postage (39 cents!)]

-- Camisole
-- Blue Trucker Hat (Black Trucker Hat is NOT discontinued)
-- Custom Postage
-- Postal Pal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<@

In other CafePress store news, I've opted-into CafePress' offer to add Men's White T-Shirts along with my Value T-Shirts. CafePress plans to discontinue showing the Value T-Shirts in their Marketplace. I was asked if I wanted to handle the change in my stores, or if I wanted to accept CafePress' offer to handle the change. I was good for the offer. After all, I can check over the change later, and tweak it if I dislike enough what CafePress has done to my shirts. Odds are they won't mess up too much, as this is likely even more about their making money than it is for me. I will check, though.

I was also offered the option of either replacing my Value T-Shirts with the Men's White Basic T-Shirts or of adding to my already existing Value T-Shirts.

I opted for the adding, as I've sold many Value T-Shirts over the years, and I would like to retain them in my stores as a lower price option for my customers. In fact, I am pleased with the Value T-Shirt I own. It is a good T-shirt - and at a lower price, frankly.

FYI, the vast majority of the time I have been adding both the basic White Men's T-Shirt and the Value T-Shirt when I add new graphics and new store sections to my CafePress stores.

NEW NEW NEW : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More : CafePress.com

The new - the latest - CafePress merchandise has now arrived.

See the new maternity tops - in black and in white, and the new Junior spaghetti tank tops - which come in a variety of pastel colors (and white) @ New Tops

Also in the "NEW NEW NEW" section is merchandise with my new Earth graphic. The graphic is actually a high-quality NASA photo of the Western Hemisphere - NASA can do the Earth infinitely better than I can!

Speaking of "Earth-ly" matters, I've reduced the price of ALL my totebags in both of my CafePress premium stores. These CafePress totebags are excellent re-usable shopping bags, being strong and easy-to-carry, as well as washable (made of canvas cotton). A totebag sampling. Consider it a step in the right direction regarding climate change/global warming.

Find totebags, as well as the new maternity tops and Junior spaghetti tank tops in both my CafePress premium stores:

= Music Stuff & More store - also find the new tops, as well as totebags throughout this store

= For Women Old Enough... store
~ "Sales & Features" - the new tops (using generally more woman-oriented, so to speak, graphics, not surprisingly, considering the name of the store), as well as totes and more "Earth" stuff
~ Totebag Sampling - includes, for the most part, bags not in "Music Stuff & More" (also, more woman-oriented graphics, such as for moms and grams, and so on)

CafePress Merchandise News

An FYI regarding changes coming soon regarding CafePress merchandise. (And, if I were you, it sounds as if you would like any of the soon-to-be discontinued merch mentioned, you might want to get it right away.)

To quote a message from CafePress today:

2007 has seen many new product additions, and will continue to see many more as the year rolls on. Beginning on May 9, 2007 we'll be transitioning the following merchandise out of our catalog:

-- Custom Postage: Discontinued May 9
-- Postage Pal: Discontinued May 9
-- Blue Trucker Hat: Discontinued estimated June 8 [*note that the black trucker hat will continue to be available*]
-- Camisole: Discontinued...estimated June 8
-- Jr. Baby Doll T-Shirt: Upgraded to Jr. Jersey T-Shirt - estimated June 8 [Jr. Jersey T-Shirt? I haven't heard yet about this item]

Monthly CafePress Newsletter Sign-Up

Please note the monthly CafePress newsletter sign-up form at the top of the right sidebar.

I really am committed to this monthly newsletter, and this is the ultimate in the latest news regarding my CafePress business and other related matters.

This newsletter also always contains all the relevant links to my CafePress stores, blogs, website, etc. The only thing missing is the link to my Spreadshirt store - this newsletter is, after all, hosted and run by CafePress.

My website may be under renovation, my blogs may be under renovation, none of these may be completely updated every single month. Frequently, partially, but not completely, every single month.

There is also always something new in each and every monthly newsletter: new graphic(s), new merchandise, or a sale or promotion. I make sure of it.

So if you're interested in my CafePress-related online business, I do recommend that you subscribe to this monthly newsletter.

Note that the May Issue is about to go out before the week's over - this newsletter goes out during the last week of the month.

The Beginnings...

...Of the renovations around my "online empire", that is.

I've decided to start with my blogs, having roughed out a couple, with this one here likely the next in line. Then, I'll hook the relevant blogs to the renovated website.

Check out the newly-upgraded Music Stuff Blog

Do you think it has enough "labels", aka tags? ; ) Probably excessive?

I'd like the banner to my Music Stuff & More store to link to the store, but haven't yet found a way with this new Blogger upgrade. Should be a no-brainer, hmm. For another day... It's still a work-in-progress.
