Try before you buy
I had never seen such a thing prior to three months ago and now they are everywhere…..sampler boxes. What a great idea really for both businesses and indie groupies!
The original, from what I understand is Home of the Sampler which is run by Marie out in California. I can’t say enough of how nice she has been to me with my questions. I can not imagine the work that goes into rounding up the samples, packing and shipping! There is such a GREAT variety of samples from so many creative, independant designers that it really is the best I think around. Check out the list of contributors, it’s really a great variety. I can’t wait to get mine! I’ll post a picture of the items I receive when it comes. I am planning on ordering a 3 month subscription for my niece for the holidays - Gitta loves buttons and cool stuff and the Sampler certainly has plenty of designer items she’ll love, and probably want me to buy for her!
