These are very nice. I'm working on one like these. I'm starting with a case of what's in the catalog. I looked at your blog to see the individual pics and ingredients.
I noticed your comments about your photography. I think your photos are fine, but I have a few easy tips that I think will have you and your customers enjoying your photos a little more. Like you, I find I get a much better picture outdoors. It doesn't have to be very sunny to get good natural light. Avoid apparent noon, the time when your sun is at its highest point in the sky, almost directly overhead. It makes harsh shadows. De-clutter your background to let your subject be the subject. Avoid backgrounds that, though they are pleasant, might clash with your subject. When I can't get out to photograph my crafts, I throw an ivory colored tablecloth on my dining room table and set the item there with nothing else around it. I turn on every light in the room and open the shades. I watch for shadows falling on the item I am photographing. I hate the way my flash makes things look oddly bright and washed out, so I don't use it often indoors. Instead, I set the camera for no flash and hold it very steady. For most small digital cameras, if you don't use your flash, you are more likely to get a blurry image if you don't hold your camera very steady. These few little things can make a very big difference in how you like your pictures.
