 Nielsen Online, a service of the NielsenCompany, reported that as people headed back to work after the holiday weekend, Web traffic from home and work to holiday shopping sites increased 10% over last year for Cyber Monday. Unique visitors to the shopping sites included in the Holiday eShoppingIndex reached 35.9 million, a 13% increase over this year's Black Friday Web traffic. According to our own statistics, QFLEA.com experienced a 19.3% increase in unique visitors. That's a pretty impressive increase that we're pretty happy about. The number of page views and the average time on our site is also up slightly. These are all good indicators, particularly in a difficult economy and we are obviously hoping that this nice pattern of traffic continues and grows. The largest percentage increases in unique visitor traffic were found in the following neighborhoods:Stained Glass, Crafts, Angels, Home Decor and Soaps and Fragrances. If you have not yet had the chance, visit QFLEA today and see what our vendors have available for you in terms of holiday gift giving or just about anything else. With four hundred quality websites from which to shop, you never know what you'll find. Rather than spending your hard earned money in the big box million dollar stores this year, let's all do our part to support the small business vendors, like the ones found here at QFLEA.com - The Next Generation Flea Market. PaulaWalla Imports PaulaWalla Imports, an online gift shop, is featured in the December 2008 issue of Hartford Magazine in an article entitled "Give a Gift and Change the World." You may already recycle, drive a hybrid, and reduce your carbon footprint, but here's an environmentally-friendly idea you may not have though of yet... fair trade gift giving. "Fair trade is an international movement that tries to help economically disadvantaged farmers and artisans in developing countries." The fair trade items from PaulaWalla include World Children Tote Bag from Guatemala, Wine Gift Bags from India, and Wooden Face Eyeglass Holder from India. Learn more at paulawalla.com. |

Herb'n Renewal We're your traditional mom and pop business. Pop, Drew, creates our herb seasoning blends and mom, Karin, creates the labels and packaging. After 10 years of working side by side we're still going strong and still loving what we can provide to our customers...great food made easy! We started Herb'n Renewal when we saw a need for herb plants at our local farmers market. By the end of the season folks were asking us how to cook with them. Well, that just ended up with the both of us being horse from talking! So, we spent that winter using Drew's amazing ability to take a combination of herbs and spices and blend them together so that anyone can season their foods without really having to think about it. Herb'n Renewal provides herb and spice blends for just about everything! And, the best part is we still treat each blend like it's our only product! Each batch is hand blended with loving care to ensure that our customers are getting only the freshest and the best. Herb'n Renewal really does take the guesswork out of seasoning and we are very pleased to be certified Kentucky Proud! Visit Herb'n Renewal at www.herbnrenewal.com. "Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity" "If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking." ... both quotes from General George S. Patton |
