Places to Spur on the Economy
Chez Michallet
90 Bedford Street
New York, NY 10014

In case you recognize the last name, yes, before joining me in
CA, my spouse used to co-own this resturant.  It is now
managed by her best friend.  If you're ever in NYC, give it a
try!
Creation is one of the best places for a fan to drop their money.  The products are superior to what
can be found from most independent sellers on ebay, and the customer service is outstanding!
Sharon Delaney, who is in charge of the fan club, is always quick to bend over backwards to make
sure that the customer is always happy.  If you were looking to spend your hard earned income on
collectables, I'd highly recommend Creation.
This is a really nice site that has interesting products from New
Zealand. They carry lots of yummie looking items from condiments,
to BBQ sauce, to jams.  There is also an area to purchase natural items
for baby and mom.  For those of you who are fans, you'll recognize
the reps name,
Mr. Steve Muir.  He is quick and prompt with
answering questions.  In my mind, very business oriented and
"customer" friendly.  So if your hooked on X:WP, or have seen LotR
and are fixated on all things from New Zealand, head on over to Mr.
Muir's site and see if there is anything that strikes your fancy. Btw, to
find out prices on items, just click on the jpgs at his site and it will
take you to the price listed.

For another pic of this enterprising
entrepreneur.
Update: This company, NZNG, is now up and running!!  Be sure to download the
free software from Macromedia in order to open the site and give the products a
try.  I'm confident in saying that many people will enjoy trying the various treats
from this corner of the world. I know me and mine do!!!
