It's Artist Season!

At this time of year we typically request the fiber artists and other skilled crafters who use alpaca fiber consider listing their alpaca hats, scarves, shawls, artwork etc. on PurelyAlpaca.com.
We like to offer these items to add to our breadth of selection and also we like to support alpaca fiber artists. It's all about being "Purely Alpaca"!

Of particular need this year are alpaca baby booties and hair scrunchies.

If you know of anyone spread the word.....

Alpaca products keep coming!

This week a flood of new and interesting alpaca products are coming into our warehouse. New alpaca scarves, alpaca jackets and coats. Even a new alpaca Christmas sweater! It's great fun to see all the new items. The alpaca garment industry, though still in its infancy is alive and well!!

Still more new items going on the site in the next week!

INSTANT new alpaca product feed

We were thinking....

Many of our customers are hitting the New Items link on PurelyAlpaca.com but unless they hit it daily they still might miss a new product. We literally have placed items online in our online boutique only to have them sold hours later. We're getting a lot of new items this year, many "on trial" as possible lines next year, so we'll have a lot of these unique offerings this fall. We have alpaca sweaters, alpaca scarves and new alpaca hats that are all limited run "test" items from artists in the USA and South America. There will be a lot of new alpaca products, alpaca yarn and gifts posted in the next couple of months.

So we figured a lot of our website visitors are missing out. Well this just won't do. :) So what we did was create a simple RSS Feed. This lets you use a freely available RSS reader to connect to PurelyAlpaca's RSS feed. This way, whenever we add or update a product you'll know about it, instantly.

We were thinking more...

This could be fun. We can put things up and see how long they last. If enough people use the RSS Feed perhaps we'll offer "instant sales", offering great bargains on items just for our most "attached" customers. Gee, what else could this lead to?....

To see more and sign up, go to http://purelyalpaca.com/rssfeed.html

Will you let us know your thoughts on the idea?

Busy busy boom!

Have you been busy lately? We surely have been!

We're excited to announce that PurelyAlpaca is now located in Battle Ground, WA! The new headquarters is as of October 1, 2006. We have a new facility for our store office and warehouse as well as a new farm (we also raise alpacas) and of course a new house. Still moving in on all three areas... It's also the peak time of year for us as we are checking in a flood of exciting new alpaca products for the Fall season. Some of them we hope you will really like. We have new designer clothing, new and improved fashion accessories and of course new gift items for friends and family.

Things are still arriving so be sure to check back often in October and November as we load the items online. See the enclosed New Products link to see what has recently been added or updated.

Are you slightly technical? PurelyAlpaca can send your an RSS feed which will let you know when any new products are added. Some of our designer products are so unique and of such limited runs that they go up online 1 day and are gone the next. Don't miss any of them by subscribing to the PurelyAlpaca RSS feed. See the bottom of any page on http://purelyalpaca.com to get hooked up.
