Announcing The Succulent Wife’s Marketplace on 1000 Markets

1 April 2009 2 Comments

Remember this article? Well, some casual discussion between 1000Markets.com founder, Matt Trifiro and I has lead to the creation of a gift-centered marketplace on 1000Markets. Be careful now. You never know what casual conversation will lead to!

Today, I am thrilled to launch this marketplace, the perfect venue to express my passion for indie made goods. The visit-marketSucculent Wife’s Marketplace on 1000 Markets resurrects one of the Succulent Wife’s original missions to promote independent artists. This time (as opposed to my previous endeavor with my own online shop) I am simply curator, not shopkeeper and get to indulge in hand-picking gift ideas. What a life! Well, it’s harder than you think. Really. The gift suggestions must be in keeping with The Succulent Wife’s philosophy and aesthetics for gift-giving (and shopping in general) that is… beautiful things made with passion that have spirit and meaning. The real challenge in doing this on 1000 Markets is to limit the overwhelming choices.

Our marketplace is focused on the providing ideas for unique gifts items. Take a look. We cover all the classic gift categories, many featuring keepsake, heirloom-worthy products.
