Suite 40 Tacoma, WA 98421 253.256.5660 Pip & Lola’s Everything Homemade Press Release Pip & Lola’s Everything Homemade passes the 50 vendor mark Pip & Lola’s Everything Homemade in the historic Freighthouse Square now has over 50 different local, handmade vendors. Tacoma, WA June 19, 2012: Samantha Camp – Owner, Operator and Goddess of Soap for Pip & Lola’s Everything Homemade – is thrilled to announce that Pip & Lola’s Everything Homemade now has over 50 different local, handmade vendors The storefront , which has been open at Freighthouse Square since July, 2012, began with a dozen vendors and now has just shy of 60 handmade artisans with new crafters frequently approaching the shop about joining. “I must talk to at least a dozen new crafters every week who are thinking about coming on board,” Camp says. The current procedure for a crafter joining is pretty simple. There is a form, a $50 buy-in and then there are three different “tiers” from which crafters can choose that best meets their needs. Most of the vendors go with the 70/30 split but there is also an option for an 80/20 split for crafters who have time to help out in the shop. “We try to make it make sense for the vendors,” Camp says. Currently, there are knit and crochet items, pottery, jewelry, wood turnings, stained and fused glass, BBQ rubs, chain mail jewelry and accessories, candles, young girls’ dresses and skirts, synthetic hair pieces, blankets, paintings, cards, hand spun yarn plus, of course, the SOAP and a whole lot more. There are also opportunities for taking or teaching craft classes in the store. Hours of operation are Monday – Saturday 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Sundays 12 – 5 p.m. For more information call 253-256-5660 or email pipandlola@gmail.com. -- Samantha Camp Owner-Operator and Goddess of Soap Pip & Lola's Everything Homemade www.pipandlola.etsy.com www.hyenacart.com/pipandlola http://about.me/samicamp 206-707-5896
