Tips for Creating an Online Store

I just created a step by step video tutorial of how to Setup PayPal Shipping to allow free in-store pickup. Watch below and let me know if you have any questions.

Let’s face it – most garden sculptures are dull. Brown chipmunks, dark green turtles and gray squirrels sit in gardens across the country getting overlooked because they don’t stand out.

An online store named Mercantile has stepped in to put an end to boring garden statues. They sell ceramic animal statures that come in a variety of bright, fun colors. Each of these MercHaus pets gets created specifically for you after you place your order, and each one gets its own unique number. In other words, not only are these garden statues fun, but each one is completely unique! So what are you waiting for? Order a MercHaus pet and spice up your garden!

Le Dolci is one of the finest places to learn how to make cup cakes in Toronto. My mouth is watering just looking at their website. They have some really incredible cupcake designs. Checkout these:

My favorite thing about the Le Dolci folks is their classes. They have an events calendar so you can learn how to make them yourself! Once you get back home from their class you can impress all your dinner guests with your own cupcake creations.

Their online store is great when you run out of supplies. Check their store out here.
