Etsy? ...you betsy.



Hi again.
So, you know that handmade masonjar-cozy-thermos thing i carry around with me? oh. 
Well...a couple years ago I decided to heavily insulated a mason jar so that i could take my snobby coffee with me to work, in the chilly mornings and have it still be hot when i got there. It worked! And so well that i've used it every day since, filling it with soups, teas and one time i jammed it with pasta and olives. Actually, you can put anything in it....wine, fruit, granola. i think i've put as many food groups in my jarmos as there are food groups. I digress...
A Jarmos nice to have because i never have to use a 'to go' cup (in mall-girl voice: it's like totally green! omg!) plus, if the jar ever breaks mason jars are so common to replace. The cozies are machine washable, but i prefer hand-washing in the bathwater, because i worry about the threads wearing out.
Why am i telling you this? 
Enter Lisa to say "Here's the thing...:"*
Almost every where i go, folks express their interest in this jar-thermos (now dubbed 'Jarmos') and some even ask me to make them one or suggest i sell them. Different people sell things on a hand-made website called Etsy, so i checked it out. 
Anyway, i made an account, so if you know someone who does want one, you can direct them here!


oooh...shameless plug for online entrepreneurism? meh, I'de call it testing the waters of demand. 
If no one wants one, they won't buy one. I'm not going to pay my cell phone bill with the 4 dollars i make on these things. Just thought you'd like to know.
