Hunkydory Crafts Cuddly Christmas - Part 1

Sunday October 15, was our 15th anniversary. 

There aren't very many on-line stores that can claim to be 15 years old. Let's recap some of the changes between then and now: In 2002, eBay was primarily a site that sold Beanie Babies. Amazon was primarily selling books, and while they were beginning to expand into other areas, the sales process was still in it's infancy. Distributors couldn't quite see our vision for an on-line retail store. It was difficult to find wholesalers. When I opened this business, Lauren, my youngest daughter was 3 years old. Now she is a Freshman in college!

Oh, how time flies! Not only did our little web store survive, we flourished and we have grown steadily. Now, new vendors contact us to see if we will sell and promote their products. We get to be picky to ensure that we bring you the best products, and selections, and service.

.

This is a great time to say thank you for enabling us to do what we love and what better way than savings! Our customers are the best and my family and I look forward to serving you for the next 15 years!

As always, please feel free to email us if you have questions, comments, or suggestions. We appreciate your feedback and we try to respond to every comment. Happy crafting!
