I want to thank everyone for an idea that was derived from one of the threads - Dire outlook for antiques and collectibles?
In that thread, fluff wrote, "Successful retail businesses change their window displays frequently to attract attention. Even bookstores have tables near the front door with themed merchandise: Oprah's book club, hot new business books, political bestsellers, whatever."
From that grew "A Visit To Our Zoo" a category within my store at ebay devoted to topical stamps of animals, fish, and birds which would normally be found at a Zoo.
Additional items are on order, and hopefully, the category will be filled and ready for business by this weekend.
Next in April, there will be a Garden category, "Enjoy working in this flower garden," where topical stamps for Roses, Orchids, Flowers, etc, will be available for sale.
It appears that I have used all my Promotion Boxes. Only the single ones are working in the new category.

Great ideas abound here which is what I love!
Three weeks ago I was at a Flea Market and saw a variation on this theme and wish I could show you photos.
The person had used Art Canvas...already stretched and ready to hang ( Buy at Craft or Art Store).
Each one was decoupaged with stamps to cover the surface entirely and they were slightly overlapped.
There were themes: Animals, A three colour theme with the stamps applied to look like waves, and one was all Canadian stamps which looked neat.
The sizes varied from about 8" x 10" up to a huge one that was approx. 4ft x 3 ft.
I came home inspired and it is on my list of "Things to try"
