It is Spring and I find myself very,very busy. I have been trying to keep momentum going for some time now but I can’t help but want to stop and smell the flowers. The weather has warmed up quite a bit and I am trying to enjoy myself.
But there is work to be done. We are almost finished with the changes that need to be made to the various sites and I have been able to convince a few more bulk listers to join the auction sites. SeannLewiscom will start selling templates, computers and other products. I will soon open another new store also. We haven’t come up with a name yet though.
We will be giving all of our customers on the auction sites $1000 in listing fee credits. WE are doing this as a thank you for their continued support of us. Our PR / Marketing campaign will begin in earnest in May also. I suspect that there will be a huge increase in traffic and that is why our servers are being upgraded.
All auction shops that are within the SeannLewiscom umbrella will soon be searchable within Virtual Shops. We will exteend this to other shops as time goes on. Those sites are:
On a personal note, I am buying a new truck. I am pretty happy about it. In order to get the truck I want I have to put down a large down payment thoguh so I won’t be doing too much in the short term but at least I am not walking. So I am happy.
BTW, Thanks for pointing out the error in the mailing that VGE sent out. I didn’t realize that one of the links was wrong. We will make sure to double chekc and then triple check next time. Also thanks for letting us know about the confusing emails that is being sent out by those over at Vintage Gems Emporium. We will be sure to send out an email lettin everyone know about what is going on.
Thank you,
Seann Lewis

I hope everyone is having a good Valentine’s Day. Be sure to enjoy all of those chocolates and teddy bears. I am spending mine working but that is not all bad. Business has increased and I am making necessary changes to each of my sites so I am pretty happy. With money coming in I can pay back money owed to people and get things done. That is a lot better than many other people can say with the economy the way it is.
SeannLewis.com will become more SEO friendly by having two sites. One site will be flash-based and the other PHP driven. Both will have access to the same content but I think that with the new back-end and front-end many of my client’s will be happier.
Virtual Shops will have many changes in it as well and I hope that everyone likes them. The changes have been implemented due to input from our user base and I believe that they will be pleased with what they see.
Later on I will find a friend to go to the movies and eat dinner with. I’ll probably clean the house up too. Anyway, I hope that you and yours can enjoy yourself.
Have a good one,

I hope that you are all having a happy new year. Mine got off to a rocky start but it is progressing well. If you read the last post then you know all about the ‘bruhaha’ that was started and I won’t go over that again. Let’s move on to the good news…
Many of the changes that have been necessary over Virtual Gems is almost complete. We have several vendors whose products we still need to list and there are some bugs still but we will have them all ironed out soon.
SeannLewis.com is doing very well also. I am looking to change the name though. I think that too many people associate a dot-com with websites and that is not the only thing that we do. I am looking at many of the opportunities coming up and I see us in a very good position for the future.
My cats are doing well. For those that don’t know I have 4 cats. Their names are Gregory P. Bigglesworth or Mr. Bigglesworth, Fuzzy Wuzzles a.k.a. Mr. Fuzzles, Lizzie D. Kat and Snowbell. Snowbell is the one in the picture and the other three pictures will be coming soon. I used to have a fifth cat Dave but he is gone now.
My birthday was yesterday. I spent it alone mostly but finally my girl came by and we hung out for a bit. I have been consumed with work and I haven’t gotten out much lately. I did receive a lot of calls lately though and I appreciate the well wishers.
That’s all for now. I hope that everyone out there is having a good one. Keep an eye on this blog. It may prove interesting.

I know that it has been some time since we have posted anything. We are working to make this blog the best ever and we will be bringing you new news in the jewelry, kitty and overall fun departments. As some of you may know there has been a change in mangement over at Virtual Gems Emporium and we are working very closely with them for a smooth transition. Part of the team has left and formed a new website called Vintage Gems Emporium. Although they are using our code and look a lot like us they are no longer a part of the Virtual Shops family. Thank you for being patient and we look forward to having a great year.
