Collecting Salt Cellars

Salt Cellars have been around for centuries and were especially popular to collect around the first part of the 20th century (1930s and 40s). They are still very collectible today, coming in all shapes, sizes and made of many different materials, such as silver, pewter, glass, stoneware and even shell.

Keywording, SEO, Metadata ... What?

You may have heard these words, but just why are they significant to selling online? And, what do they mean? A search of these words via the Internet, brings pages of complex information, enough to make your head spin and a computer expert to decipher! Oh my!

So, let’s try to simplify this!



Opening a Shop and Pay Pal Returns

We are recent additions to Ruby Lane and have enjoyed our first SUCCESSFUL foray into online shopping. Prior to our launch on Ruby Lane we had tried two other sites for several months. The fees were high and we never sold a single item. Imagine our surprise when we had our first order in the first week of our Ruby Lane launch. We have gone on to become a GOLD status shop in around 4 months and now just over 6 months into our adventure we have nearly 200 orders finalized and pending.
