Meyer Imports

Oh No! It's Broken! Oh Wait, All Fixed!

Thanks to our customers, we were alerted this week to a problem with our website. It was actually a very minor problem, but many customers were scared (and rightfully so!) when they got a screen that the website was "not secure".

Your information and protecting anything you share with us is really, really important to us. Period!

We subscribe to a service that provides a "Secure Connection" between your computer and our on-line store, and that connection was disrupted due to a small setting change by our provider. The site was actually working fine, and the message was really intended to say "hey you - tech guy- take a look at your settings - something isn't right"!

Well, we got the message and I had my web guys and our security company not only fix the problem, but do a complete security sweep to make sure everything else was air tight. It was.

With the "bad guys" trying to steal our credit cards, bank info and everything else, as we all hear about in the news, I want to make sure you know that we really take this seriously. If you ever feel something is not right in our on-line store, just let us know and we will take immediate action to resolve any issues.

So, just keep walking bad guys, but you ain't getting in here. No way, no how.

 

Tigers, Lions & Bears, and Seals, Llamas and Roosters

Over at our eBay store, we just loaded a bunch of old 2 and 3" figures we imported from Germany back in the 90's. The factory that produces these (Marolin) has been in business since the early 1900's, however during WWII the government took  over the business and forced them to build compasses, and other military equipment instead of their famous miniatures.

After the war, and the unification of Germany, the family bought the factory back and found their 100 year old tooling in the basement! Production was started again, using the same techniques the their grandfather invented!

We purchased thousands of their plastic molded figures (which are like  Schleich's, but these have the old world, hand painted charm that Schleich's "Made in China" do not).

But we are really focusing on our Glitter, Beads, Earthflakes and these little critter really do not fit our line any longer.

So we have a bunch of them on eBay and more to be added over the next few days.

Dealer Quantities!

If you are interested in a bunch of these (like over $100 retail) let us know and we will be more than willing to give you a discount (upto 30% off) and may even have some other goodies for dealers who are interested in taking all of these great guys off our hands!

Dessert? Of course! Do DecoBeads sound tempting?

Clear Fuscia - Glass Deco Beads

Don't really eat!

There is just something so tempting about these little Deco Beads, but, I'm on diet. As temping as they look, it's no dessert for me!

But if you are not watchimg everything you eat (or craft with) you may just want to check out this brand new color to our Deco Bead line.

I was working with our Glitter Crystals this week, doing a bunch of new photos for the site and I thought these mini pumpkins would add a nice little touch to my photos. I think I was right!

Every year we sell alot of Orange and Black Glitters around September and October and wanted to make sure eveyone knew how delightful our Glitter Crystals look for Halloween as well. There will more on Glitter and Pumpkins over the next few weeks, but for now - here are some cute pumpkin pics!

Dark Brown? Super Shard Glitter? Oh my.

Dark Brown Super Shard Glitter

My grannie used to say "oh my" alot. It is a simple, easy way to state how impressed, amazed, or excited you are in a very understated way. It's a perfect way to express how cool this new Dark Brown Super Shard glitter is.

It's brown, dark brown. It's glass, real glass. It's shiny, really shiny. It's shardy, really shardy. It is unlike anyother glitter we sell. Like way unlike....... Like I said, "oh my"......

How do you use it? Like regular glitter. Why is it different? Bigger shards mean more light reflection, meaning more sparkle. Can I cut myself? Yes, you could get a little poke, so you do need to be a little more careful. What can I make with it? That's one you need to answer. But please tell me what you use it for. Make a video and send me a link! Take out a billboard and send me a picture! Or just like my grannie, get creative and then just say "oh my" when you see how beautiful your project is!

Now, more pictures!

Number 2 - More Earthflake Starter Kits!

Sometimes we get comments that our customer really did not have any idea what to use our Earthflakes on. It's a fair question. After all, everyone know how to Glitter, but how do you "Earthflake"? Well, that what our starter kits are for. Think of Earthflakes as natural corks, wood flakes, fibers and flocking that is colored and uniformly sized for a very different product that really adds color and texture to your projects.And with the starter kit, you get a little of five different products to try and fall in love with!

Here is the second kit.... And some great project photos to enjoy!
