3D Art in Precious Metals

Beautiful, “one-of-a-kind” jewelry items have been the specialty of the house at Federal Way Custom Jewelers for over 49 years. The store opened in 1955, and today remains among the oldest continuously operating jewelry stores in South King County.

Rene Criss, owner and custom jewelry designer, and his wife and business partner, Lorraine Meckley-Criss, (pictured here on their special day) delight in seeing a piece of jewelry go from concept to precious reality.

Some customers come to the store with a diagram, photo or description of a desired piece. Others come to the store with a rare stone that they want set into an exquisite work of art. Many come back again and again to develop new pieces to celebrate special events.

In addition to gorgeous custom work, the store also provides quality special occasion jewelry made by well-known manufacturers such as TrewTungsten wedding bands, Benchmark fine wedding rings and Bellarri International Blue Topaz, Mosaic, Multi-stone Ring and Smokey Quartz Collections.

To meet the jeweler or gain more information, visit the store, which is located in Federal Way across the street from SeaTac Mall at 1810 S. 320th Street Suite B, see their website at http://www.federalwaycustomjewelers.com, or email rene@fwcj.com.

PAPER TRACKER is the perfect solution for displaying/organizing small items you want to view often in the home, business, RV, or just about anywhere! The ingenious design holds items within layered plastic tabs - no tape, pins or clips to damage items. Easily insert, withdraw and reorganize items with one hand.

People often need to view messages, refer to notes or lists or schedules, display pictures of loved ones, or view multiple documents simultaneously. Dick Bennett, the original PAPER-TRACKER developer, got tired of seeing all the clutter attached to his computer monitor, and the “sticky notes” that fell to his desk. Scotch tape, Post-it-Notesｮ and clips held family photos, coupons, business cards and notes on his computer monitor. An invention was born to hold all these items without clips, or tape or adhesive, and allowed him to make changes to any document by withdrawing and re-inserting the item back into the display devise. As a nice by-product, Dick found he could display many more items in the same limited space than before.

PAPER-TRACKER holds various types of small documents one wants to view over a period of time - notes, instructions, lists, codes, telephone numbers, notices, pictures, sports schedules, coupons, reminders and recipes. This is a great picture holder and allows for easy replacement with the newest picture of those growing kids!

Various product versions and accessories allows PAPER-TRACKER to be used virtually anywhere - on a computer monitor or keyboard, on a refrigerator, a microwave or other metal equipment, on a cabinet, a shelf, on a car dash or window or console, or on a desktop, kitchen/bath counter or on a desk or wall telephone.

PAPER-TRACKER is also a great promotional product to use for your business.

For more pictures and information about the many styles that you can get PAPER-TRACKER products, or to order on line, go to their site at http://www.papertracker.net/.

Puppy Stairs pet stairs and ramps help dogs, cats, kittens and other pets get on and off sofas and beds safely.

This dog-friendly business was started by Krystal Hanson after her Yorkshire terrier, Raphael, had to have surgery. During his recovery, it was important that he not run, jump or climb. Since his favorite napping spots were “up”, Krystal needed to find a way for him to get there safely.

Krystal learned about wood steps and ramps for pets, but they were hard on people toes and shins and their rigid construction can cause too much impact on the animals hip joints and spine. Krystal figured that fabric covered foam cushions would do the job–and she was right.

Two years later, Puppy Stairs is a highly successful business. The original product has been refined somewhat, and Krystal and her business partner, Jeanne Wolfington, have developed a large variety of products to meet the needs of small breeds and pets with osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia and other mobility problems. Their products are also a great help to handicapped people who can’t assist their animals.

Puppy Stairs products have been featured on Martha Stewart and Christopher Lowell television programs and are recommended by veterinarians around the country.

Today Krystal and Jeanne continue to build their business, Puppy Stairs. Their purpose is to help animals live a better quality of life. To learn more about their business and products, please visit http://www.puppystairs.com/.
