I sell some of my art and puzzles and weird stuff at my store, too, but this is mostly a link dealie for all my friends who are makers and sellers of things, if you’re looking for indie goods.
I also asked them for what their store in a mall would look like and then had an image created to visualize that idea. Welcome to the mall!!!
(Note 5/26/2025: I used an AI tool to create the images on this page prior to recognizing the adverse effects that AI has on art, the environment, and society at large. When I have the spoons to make new images myself or the funds to commission new images from artists, I intend to replace the AI images.)

Something along those lines…” — Michael
