Pretty Tasty...

In a world where you can swing by the gas station or grocery store to fulfill your every foodie whim, the art of handmade is devalued & darn near obsolete.  Lollipops By Mihow isn't giving in to that.  LBM was featured on the etsy homepage today & her shop is now cleaned out.  How can you think twice about spending $10 on 6 sweet treats when they look like this:


  

If you still think that's pricey, think about this.... 
She has to:
- drive or walk to purchase high quality food items 
(or order them online & pay for shipping)
- purchase packaging materials
- test recipes
- make batches of the pops
- wrap each individual pop
- take high quality photos of the pops
- edit the photos, list order on etsy
- print out & fill order
- package packaged pops for shipping
- walk or drive to post office

$10 ain't bad for all that.
