New photography store in town

I built a website specifically for selling my photo prints.

Mary Hone Photography is simply a store for selling. I wanted to get the store off the blog, and into it’s own domain.

The page tab in the menu bar will now link to that site, as do the rotating images in the widget to the right.

I have added a bunch of new images, and I am going to be more diligent about adding new things as I shoot them. The navigation should be easier too. I would love any opinions, good or bad about the look and function of the site. My goal is obviously to make a few bucks selling prints, so I want the site to be user friendly. (Gotta help fund the travels you know)

And to celebrate the opening of the new store, I am offering a $5.00 off coupon. Spend $20.00 or more and use the coupon code 5BUCKSOFF at checkout. That means you can get 4 note cards for $15, an 8 x 10 print for $15, or an 11 x 14 for just $25.

And, free shipping to the US.

And in travel news…..

Since last I wrote, we left Wyoming for Utah. We did spend a night at Lava Hot Springs in Idaho. If you are ever in that area…GO. We have been there before and it’s always a treat. Nice clean hot pools, and you can choose pools with different hot water temperatures.

Then on to Utah we came. We off loaded a bunch of stuff, made lists for cold weather things we need to dig out of storage, and stocked up at Costco. Then Al thought maybe he better start looking at places to park the RV. This has never been an issue for us before. We go where we want, find a place, and park. Not so easy in Seattle.

The dogs are blissfully unaware of any conundrums.

This is not what we planned

We are trying to find an RV park that is A)Nice and habitable. B)Not in a horrible area. C)Actually has spaces available for monthly rental that won’t cost an arm and a leg. And D)Not a 2 hour commute for Al.

We had this lovely idea that I could drive Al to where he needed to go, have the truck for the day if I wanted, and then pick him up. Clearly, this was a silly idea that was never going to happen.

Al has been searching, calling, and talking to his sons all weekend. The option of giving up and going to Arizona was presented. But, we think we may have found a good place. Al’s son went to Vashon Island yesterday to see if there was something viable there. He found a small RV park that sounds like it will be perfect. He had never been to Vashon Island island before, but when he called he said it was a nice place. Al can take the ferry to work, and not have to waste an hour in traffic morning and night, nor spend money on gas. The island looks like a pretty fun place to explore, from what I can see on Google maps anyway. Plus this plan leaves me with the ability to drive somewhere if I need to. We are feeling a lot better about things now. We are planning on leaving Utah on Wednesday. We want to take our time, and enjoy the ride.

  1. I’m so happy that I was greeted by a moose as I entered your side, how great that you picked a moose for the header :o) I cross my paws that the island is the place for you… I saw they have a beautiful lighhouse and I’ve read about strawberry farms… :o)

    • Yes, I saw photos of the lighthouse too. I am so going there. And sadly, I don’t think we will have strawberries in the winter.

  2. I love your new website, Mary! I really like how the banner is different on some of the pages too, that makes it even more interesting. The island sounds so different, I’m looking forward to seeing pics. I hope you’re pleasantly surprised and very happy there. :)

    • Thanks for checking out the new site, and giving an opinion. We are feeling much better about things since we found the island RV park.

  4. Ooooo… an “island'” means “beaches” … which will mean “beach pics”??? Off to check out the photography site. Congrats on the new site. Wishing you safe travels on your way to WA! So pretty there!

  5. Hope the spot works out for you. Even if it isn’t where you really want to be, you will be there for a reason, and can make the best of it!

  7. Congratulations on you new web site! Mom looked into adding a simple store to my site and our tech person totally scared us off of it based on how complicated it is. So we are totally impressed. Glad to hear about your Seattle move, we’ve heard of Vashon before because our friends have a house on Bainbridge and they use the ferry to commute too, so its a great option for Al. If I find out they will be in Seattle while you are there I’d like to hook you up as they are huge dog people with an Aussie (Bleu), English Shepherd (Finn) and a minnie Aussie (Teagan) but only Teagan travels with them to Seattle. Good luck! Love Dolly

    • It’s really pretty easy to set up an online store. That site is geared for photos, but there are other super easy ways to sell other stuff. We are excited about Vashon. If we do get to stay there, I think it will work out well.

  11. I’m so glad that things are falling into place. I hope it’s lots of fun to explore the new place. It does look blissful to be a dog – and not have to worry about these types of details.

  13. Glad you were able to find an option that will be comfortable for a while.

    I know you’re not looking forward to the cold and the rain. But I know you’ll make the most of it. And I hope you enjoy spending time on the water.

  14. Your new site looks great!! I’m glad you were able to find a place so you can go forward with your plans…it sounds very nice, hope it turns out to be a good place for you. And of course I’ll look forward to the photos and seeing your new place through your eyes too!

  15. Excellent work on the new site! You have some amazing photography and you’ve put it together beautifully. I hope it’s a roaring success for you!
