I was at work at the clinic at the time and when I went to the website I instantly loved what I saw.
I went up front and showed my friend/co-worker and we laughed and commented how funny the cat things were.
How cute!
What a cool idea.
Then we looked further.
We both picked out different items that we loved.
or the pillows for my sofa! I LOVED the pillows!
They would look so cool in my house.
Check it out HERE.

OMG! my sister would love that.
She's all about bees.
She even has a little bee tattoo! That's how much she loves them.
And...I want one too for my garden!
My oldest niece only drinks herbal teas. What a great Christmas idea!
My middle niece loves handmade items and she loves to bake.
She's a wonderful baker, She's been one since she was little and she even worked at a bakery while going to college.
OMG! so hard to choose, I could have my Christmas shopping done in one swoop!
and here's another really cool thing.
They care about the environment and about their employees.
They are all about handmade, recycled and organic.
They sell nothing that would harm animals.
No leather, feathers or fur.
They try to do most sales online in an effort to save paper and are very conscientious about using recycled paper or paper from FSC forests, when they do mail catalogs.
They "give back" and even include the option to donate at check-out to a selection of non-profits.
and they are a B corporation, the Certified B Corporation seal means that a company has undergone and passed a comprehensive screening questionnaire, which evaluates areas including company governance, environmental practices, and impacts on the local community.
I've been trying to stay away from the big box stores.
The stores with almost everything made in China.
I try to buy gifts at Art/Craft shows.
Or pick up cool items at estate sales and such, as a way to pass on a treasured item and recycle.
The more that I read about Uncommongoods, the more excited I got.
They are the kind of company that some day, when I've got my Art business up and running and I feel like my work is ready, that I would happily summit my work to!
They have a great selection of Art - HERE
Here are two pieces that I think have some similarities to my work -

Hopefully they would feel that my Art would fit in well with the other work that is offered.
So please take a moment and look at all the amazing things they have to offer.

The cat toys are hilarious. xoxo Su
What fun! I hope you can sell some of your art there. :) Your whimsical pictures should fit right in.
Su,
I know!
Are they just the funniest and most original toys ever!
There is also one that looks like a laptop and it has a "mouse" attached!
LOLOLOL!
Jean,
It was fun to browse.
I'm seriously thinking of getting some Xmas gifts.
And, fingers crossed... hopefully someday soon, I'll have my Art in several places!
i totally agree with monk... i think your art work would be a perfect addition for them.
what a neat company!
definitely going to check them out...
i have one person that is really hard to buy for. and i'm NOT a shopper. i like this company's attitude.
thanks!

I'm very familiar with this catalog company, and have ordered from them in the last. Their items are indeed 'uncommon'!
Tammy,
Thanks! Maybe someday!
:) :) :)
I prefer to shop online too.
I'm not much of one for crowds.
And if I'm shopping, it makes me feel better to know it's coming from a good company.
and I think it makes it much easier when we have that hard-to-buy for person!
xo
Doreen,
So you know them!
:)
I'm thinking of getting that bee feeder.
For my sister for sure.
It's uncommon but cool!
Thanks for commenting!
xoxo
It's so good to find ethical companies in this commercial world.
And, when you're ready, your work will be a welcome and wonderful addition to their lines.

Vicki,
