Jewelry maker Lori Patton says the lockets she makes are "wearable dreams." And when visitors stop by her Etsy store, HeartworksByLori, she hopes they get lost in the beauty they see.
"My store is a magical and fun place where people can stay a while and take a nice stroll while enjoying the eye candy," she notes. "Hopefully I can provide an escape from their normal everyday lives. I always like to think of my store as a wonderland to visit and get lost in, just for a little while." Read story.

Torn between a rousing game of beer pong, or cooling off in the pool and missing out on the pong action? Here's one solution to this apparently universal dilemma: a floating beer pong rack that lets you enjoy a dip while you shoot that dipper. This innovation comes from a company that describes itself as a "drinking supply superstore." That's serious party business right there. And thanks to it, now the beer stays cool and so do you.In response to "Suit Targets eBay's Proxy Bidding System," one reader writes: "Another way to look at it is that without the proxy bidding, 'Laura' may not have even been a player. Then the seller would have lost the 50 cents. I am not a big-time seller on eBay, but I can see where that 50 cents-per-sale loss could add up to thousands for those who do sell a lot."
