Let's get these wonderful vendors some more exposure - here's my post and entry for the contest at: https://steemit.com/dtube/@porters/rwhjd7ih
I made up some interactive flip books on a couple of vendors at:

Absolutely fabulous @porters. I have a feeling that your flip books are going to be in high demand with all the other vendors too now. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
They are really simple to make and I may be adding that service of making flip books for people with their content on their blogs or their stores or whatever when the Homesteaders Coop gets set up to offer services too.
Right now I'm in the process of making a compilation eBook/Flip book from the knowledge that has been shared with the Natural Medicine community. This will be offered in the Homesteaders Coop with all proceeds going to the Natural Medicine community to help keep it thriving. Watch for Volume 1 coming soon!
Such a brilliant idea for a contest @sagescrub. A great incentive for writers and a wonderful way for the Homesteaders Coop vendors to be recognized for their handcrafted work.
So pleased the contest will go for 2 weeks ~ I'll find it hard to select just one person, as there are already many vendors at the Coop whose work I really admire. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
I'll look forward to your entry :) If it goes well we may repeat this contest from time to time!
Hope so. I have a feeling that the contest will bring the Homesteaders Coop a lot of additional very favourable attention. An ongoing contest like this will be such a great way of showcasing individual shops within the Coop as well as supporting the growth of the community as a whole. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

Hello again! I'd like to enter my blog post into the contest. Thanks for your help telling me how to leave a review. I just left a review for the Pepper Family. I love the rainbow hair scrunchie his little girl made. It is awesome!
Thank you!

Hi @hippie-witha-gun! Thanks for your comment and thanks for the product review! They are so much appreciated.
I love your unboxing of the product -- though its not quite what we are asking for in a vendor review. While I won't disqualify your unboxing post as an entry (because it is really awesome post and does Pepper Family Homestead a great justice!), I encourage you to consider entering the contest by submitting a vendor review where the vendor is the main subject of your post!
I thought that's what I did? I thought I highlighted the Pepper Family rather well?
Hi! I am so sorry for the confusion. I realize that what I am asking for in the contest is confusing. I think I should have used different language instead of "review a vendor" it should have been more along the lines of "get to know a vendor". If I run this contest again, I will take more care with my language and being clear to emphasize what I am asking for and why. In the meantime I have re-read the contest post with new eyes and I can see how your unboxing review is a perfect fit and I am glad to accept your entry :)
Please know I am autistic. If it helps. Which means I might not understand something either. I did meet Papa Pepper last year in person if it helps. I can share that link if you want?
Hi @hippie-witha-gun. Thanks for sharing you are autistic, it is a kind and honest gesture. As I mentioned above, I realize the confusion was caused by me not conveying an idea clearly enough and then not hearing your feedback. I hear it now and I appreciate learning from you - I will make an effort to communicate better in the future and be more open to feedback. Please accept my apology for the confusion!
I am so glad you are enthusiastic about supporting Papa Pepper - he is a good man :) I am excited to see how happy you are with your purchase of the rainbow scrunchie :)
Oh, I wish my shop was ready to go.... I need to work harder, lol!
Great contest!
I share your sentiment @thistle-rock.
Really looking forward to seeing your shop. Having seen some of your creative needlework, I know it will be so beautiful. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Thanks @allyinspirit 😊 The store will be sparse unless I get something done, lol. Time is always at a premium, but I shall try.... adding one thing at a time I guess!
Looking forward to seeing more of your unique products too!
Yes, time is SO precious @thistle-rock. My range will be small to begin with ~ And like you, I'll keep adding one thing at a time. I've never set up a store before ~ Except for RedBubble and FineArtAmerica. I'm aware of the 'butterflies' but I'm really looking forward to it. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
I have a problem with having unstocked shelves, lol, in other words I want to have a variety of items showing only because I don’t want people to think that what they see is all I have to offer, because I do so many things.... maybe they won’t come back to visit... know what I mean... but I have to start somewhere.
I haven’t had an online store for anything but my colouring pages, so this is new to me too.... we will get there together... hang in there! 🤗
I know what you mean only too well Heather. But my feeling is to go for it, even with the little I have and build upon it.
It's so new ~ And even if we only have a little to show of what we do or know are able to do ~ I'm sure people will return ~ Again and again.
I would 'normally' continue making ephemeral art and photographing ~ So having to come up with some actual products, is nudging me into other ideas that have been dormant for some time.
We'll get there for sure ~ I love being able to support each other like this along the way. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Yes, hoping to be up and running very soon 😉
No worries there is plenty of time :) Still, I love your enthusiasm!
