WELCOME!!

To navigate through this blog you need to click the headings under the main photograph(see red arrows above). I have set up the blog for wholesale sales so each page is password protected,
so please forgive the pop-up and simply write "bugs" in it. I was asked by my wholesale accounts to do this!
   I commit to being able to make all the pieces in my Spring 2014 line. I have current stock on the items in the blog below-but may not be able to make more once they have been sold!

Hi All-
  You have found my blog about my Fantasy Insect Pins. It
shows my inventory of all the insect pins I have now. I made
 them for over 20 years and sold them to many discerning
stores around the country through my former representative,
Bill McCartney who is now retired. Four years ago I decided 
to find a new direction for my creativity and so I stopped
selling my bug-pins.Now, after my sabbatical, I have decided to
start up my insect pin business again!
   Under each photo is the item #,the name,the price, and the quantity
in stock. These are for immediate sale and most can be shipped within
 2 days from receipt of order. Many of them can be made up in small
quantities and some can be made up by the dozen.
 I USE USPS TO SEND ALL ORDERS.
  (please note: there are three pages on this blog. 
Click "older posts" at bottom of pages)
If you need more of a style-let me know and I will see if I can still make it up for you.
As of now, I must ask for payment upon receipt of goods. Soon--net 30!
PLEASE NOTE: ALL CHECKS SHOULD BE MADE OUT TO JOHN KIRSLIS AND BE ADDRESSED TO
4687 Route 9G
Germantown, NY 12526
 
To former accounts:PLEASE CHECK YOUR COMPUTER- I AM NO LONGER AT A  P.O. # CHANGE THE ADDRESS IN YOUR COMPUTER!!! I WILL NOT GET  MAIL TO MY FORMER P.O. ADDRESS! THANKS!
BOOKMARK THIS LINK under "VENDORS"!!
By the way, if you want to help me find a new representative, please send me the name and e-mail of your favorite rep!!  Thanks!!!

  Because the photos are not to scale, some bugs will seem larger, and some smaller than they actually
are. To give a sense of scale, I include size descriptions--i.e.:
Extra large (XL) 3.5 x 3.5 in. approximately
Large (L) 3 x 3 in
Medium Large (ML) 2.5 x2.5 in.
