Have you seen those floding sun shades, or kids tents that you can fold into little packages? They have a thin metal strip inside. I need to find out what type of material that is and if you know where to get it.

I'm not sure they use metal strips, but if they do they will be spring steel.. Spring steel is everywhere. \nI think they are more likely to use composite materials such as graphite, kevlar or glass fibre. Again these are really readily available.\nAll these materials are not really off the shelf items and are made for specific uses. You will find composite manufacturers in your yellow pages or on the internet. Hopefully they would have some local to you.

We have a thrift shop in our neighborhood that loves to get hangers. Alot of stuff is hanging in the store, the money goes to "The Ark" maybe you have something like this near you.

I guess you got to know when to fold them. Put some TOOL on if you like metal that will get that cowboy song out of your head good luck!!

Try making offerings to the fae OUTSIDE of your house. They like honey. They also like shiney bobbles. Be sure to respect their sacred spaces, and possibly give them a little faery altar (which can be as simple as three flat rock placed on top of each other with something shiny sitting on it. They also like shiny things tied to trees.\n\nOne time, on a camping trip, it was an especially magickal night. At some point, everyone in the camp noticed that something was missing, including a necklace from around one woman's neck. The area where we were camping was seperate from any other areas and so no one came into the area. Suspecting activity of the Fae, everyone put out offerings, except for the woman who lost her necklace. She cursed the fairies. The next morning, everything was returned except the necklace. To this day, the necklace has never been found.\n\nOn another camping trip, I put my tent right in the middle of a natural faery ring. When I camp, I always have a flashlight with me at all times. The only place I could have lost it was in my tent, so I searched my tent, and the flashlight was not in there. Then I had two friends search the tent, and they couldn't find the flashlight. I put out offerings to the fae, and the next morning, the flashlight was back in my tent.\n\nAnother camp-out, We had a tarp structure in the most wind protected part of a wind protected valley. I've put up a lot of tarp structures, and it was put up very well. I've put up hundreds of tents and tarp structures, and I know what I'm doing. In and around the tarp structure where etched glass tealight holders on stands averaging about 4 feet high (it was beautiful). That night, the structure blew over (in a wind protected area) but when it fell, somehow it completely missed all of the etched glass. About mid way through the day, with no one anywhere near the structure, about half of it spontaneously stood back up.\n\nThese are just a few of my Faery stories. My friends have a great many more. We've seen many things which defy mundane explanations.

well is there someway to get a cloth inside? ... if not ... could you make a rack to put in the oven to let it air out with heat? make sure the oven is at a low temp ... and see if that works ... if that doesnt work you could always go the hairdryer method ... and if you dont want to do that ... SUN LIGHT! ... have fun ...

I love sleeping out the the mountains, but I don't bother carrying a tent if I'm hiking in the Northeast US, my home area.\n\nInstead I build a shelter called a debris shelter.  The link below will give you instructions on how to do this.\n\nIt is liberating and there is no joy greater than feeling competent and capable in nature.

If you use the mini fairy type of outside lights the cost will be minimal. Probably no more than 2-3 dollars for the next month. Get creative! Do some large bushes or small trees! Have a Great holiday! ;-)=

G'day Bek\n\nI found one in our local paper (the Gold Coast Bulletin) - maybe dash down to the newsagent and see if they have one available.  Then you can just cut them out and pull them out of a hat.\n\nGood luck - hope you back a winner!

Here in the states, florist shops sell them--if you have a pay-pal account or a credit card, you can access an awful lot of reputable companies, such as party planner-type companies, who would be more than willing to ship them to you! In fact, I could hook you up in my hometown here in Arizona. Go to eBay and contact 'azmegs'-just tell me whether you need them pre-aired(ship will be expensive,due to package size!), how many you want, if you want them personalized, what type(foil,with plastic sticks or with ribbon,rubber), what colors and approx. size that you would like and I will email you some different contacts and specifics. You can pick your pictures to put on them, lettering styles, etc. I have all of that info from when my friend had a custom balloon business!!Go over the top without thinking of the cost because that will allow me to get the absolute best pricing info for you and you can narrow down to fit budget afterwards! Basically, I do know that the few shops in my town are not very pricey, and one in particular is AMAZING in both price and quality and customer service!! It's only a matter of simple local phone calls for me and since I have a fax and used to design most of all the shops' Ads, To do that for you would be a pleasure and no effort at all and ZERO charge on my end---hope to hear from you!

You need to contact the manufacturer. Do you still have the box? the instuction booklet, anything with contact information on it? If not, can you go to the store where you bought it and get them to let you open a box and copy this information?\n\nNext time you buy a tent, go to REI (www.rei.com). Everything you buy will then have an unconditional life-time guarantee and THEY will help you with maintenance, parts, repairs, and advice. In fact, even if you never buy anything, they will still help you with advice, so try asking them too. They have live chat.

there are a number of people who make and sell sparkly veils on ebay for much cheaper, i'd try looking there. also, if you go to micheal's they have veil making kits, and rhinestones and you can make your own, probably for about 30$!

Spencers had them a little while back, I actually found a pretty cool rainbow necklace from WalMart lol... also if you have any small little hippie shops around you that sells things like pipes and wicca stuff they're usually there (those places are all over here in New Paltz, NY)

I didn't see your previous post or site before changes.  Site looked good and was easy to navigate.  Question: what will be the appeal to buy from your online store?  price, selection, specialty?  I thought the price for bed canopy was good for instance, and might purchase one.  But otherwise, people searching for gifts, home decor, what?  It doesn't seem to fit the "backyard" theme to me.\nAs for the donation, there's no way I'd do it with so little information about who it goes to and how.  It could be a padding for your good cause pocket for all we know.\nJust my thoughts - Good luck!
