They are selling these little wall hooks based on our designs. They're part of a new "Summer Inspirations" display with a lot of other tiki stuff. These are only $2.99 each. I'm kind of upset now, that we had designed these for our own business and tried to make a living making them to order by hand... and now JoAnn's is selling these this summer in their 940 U.S. stores. We recently stopped taking orders because of the arthritis in my hands from five years on the scroll saw making these.... Wow, is all I can think to say. I will pursue this tomorrow. I'd appreciate any more practical advice you all might have. Mahalo, Paul
