The Smarter Hook can be attached to desks, tables (perfect for dining out!), grocery carts and even luggage! Its uses are endless and are limited only to an individual’s creativity. The hook is even perfect for those who might have limited use of their hands.
“I bought the hook not knowing what I would use it for. After my car accident, I began using it as a handle since I was having trouble using my hands,” one customer said.
Others have even found use for The Smarter Hook in the shower!
“I’m still loving my Smarter Hook! I find new ways to use it to make my life easier. Great invention!” another customer said.

LanMark Farm Creates Premium Wool Products For Fashion or Home Decor
Beauty, handmade and functional are the key components to products made by LanMark Farm in Sharpsburg, Kentucky. The premium wool fabrics are luxurious enough for both fashion and the home!
Fabric at LanMark Farm is made on site with the FeltLOOM needle felting machine, creating custom felt fabrics. Lush Merino wool is available in batting or fiber form, and all of the material can be transformed into clothing, rugs, potholders, and more.
Wool isn’t just for shirts or coats. LanMark Farm has created a stylish, yet functional, reversible purse made of U.S. grown Merino wool. Light gray, blue, mint, tan, and black wools complete with a leather strap make this piece one that will never go out of style. For a little more practical use, try the deep pocket purse or even tote. Both come in rich dark gray coloring and are perfect for shopping, work or even the beach.
Wool is also widely used for accessory clothing, and the scarves at LanMark Farm are great examples of why the fabric is so popular. Simple infinity scarves in blues and grays work well even when winter is melting into spring. Add some fringe for extra style! And no scarf is complete without a matching beanie or slouchy hat, also entirely handmade at LanMark. Ponchos for the entire family are another gorgeous accessory made at the farm that can transform a chilly day into a cozy one.
LanMark also helps bring fashion inside the home. Felt nesting baskets or trays not only add a rustic touch, but serve as a useful product that is perfect for storage. Reversible placemats, chair pads and coasters can spruce up a kitchen or dining room. Attending a get together? Pack up that bottle of wine in a plush felt wine cozy as a small gift for the host, all while keeping the bubbly chilled.
The many years spent on textile exploration and innovation have paid off for LanMark Farm. The one-of-a-kind handmade wool products are the result of mixing appeal and purpose, elements that are often sacrificed for one another. The clothing and décor from LanMark won’t disappoint, and the quality promises many years of enjoyment!

Indosole Repurposes Discarded Tires Into Stylish Footwear
Shoes are an important part of one’s fashion style. The shoes can make or break an outfit, transforming a person into an elegant and refined aristocrat, or a fun and swanky street walker.
But sometimes, shoes are more important than for just making a memorable fashion statement; they can also change a person’s life.
Indosole came to fruition thanks to a surf trip by a couple of young Californians to Indonesia in 2004. It’s here that they discovered the environmental issue facing the Indonesian people, and sought to do something about it. But how?
Their solution to pollution is a shoe that is both fashionable and functional.
Indosole takes old and discarded rubber tires and transforms them into re-purposed footwear that is both toxic-free and environmentally sustainable.
By taking the old tires that would normally crowd landfills and be burned up, releasing toxic fumes, Indosole takes these tires, cuts them into shape, and applies them to the bottoms of handmade fabric shoes and sandals.
Each Indosole creation is handmade by artisan craftsmen and women, and uses only locally sourced and animal free materials during production, to ensure products that are completely friendly to the environment.
Indosole’s products come in a variety of styles, shapes, and colors, in both men’s and women’s collections. Both collections feature styles like the Boat Shoe and canvas slip-ons, called Kelapas.
There are also casual sneaker styles, including Kota lace-upshoes, and JJs, which are a low top comfortable everyday shoe.
For more beach-friendly footwear, check out the sandals collection, featuring products made from materials like burlap, banana leaves, rice grass, and repurposed inner tubes.
But Indosole isn’t just about shoes, they almost make wonderful repurposed tote bags. These bags are made from a variety of organic materials, and all totes are lined with repurposed rice bags.
They come in a variety of styles, including purses, shopping, and tote bags. They are also super durable and water resistant.
Customers will love these stylish bags, and will feel better about shopping knowing they aren’t contributing to more pollution in the world!
