FLDS launches Internet store to raise funds for legal fees
http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_10521502
The Internet store, fldscrafts.com, is the second online business for the FLDS, who plan to use profits to help support families and pay legal bills.
"We are very blessed but money is very, very tight," said Maggie Jessop, whose children were among those taken as part of what turned out to be the largest child welfare investigation in U.S. history.
"This is something we put together so mothers involved with [Child Protective Services] would have a way to help bring in income," she said. "Many FLDS people are contributing and donating items from all over Texas and Short Creek."
The craft site is "more of
what we want to do," she said. There, shoppers will find wooden toys
made by a father and his adult sons in Texas and hair "endies" made by
a mother in Short Creek. The wishing wells are made by an elderly man
and his older sons, who use scraps leftover at construction job sites.
"We're trying our best to be creative but as inexpensive as we
can," Jessop said. "A lot of the crafts are made by the mothers at home
in between caring for children that have been involved in Texas."
There are handcrafted pillows, aprons, rocking chairs and
other wooden furnishings. The newest line of dresses have more flair -
stitched and floral bodices, for instance - than the sect first
offered.
"We thought the world would more particularly enjoy these styles," Jessop said.
Still to come: quilts, cookbooks, a unique line of stackable
furniture, home-made flannel diapers, musical recordings, wigs styled
in hair braids and an instructional videotape on how to braid hair the
FLDS way.
"Someone told us that people really admired FLDS hairstyles,"
Jessop said. "We do not wear wigs but thought we would try it."

This site just made my frinkin day!
Sassy!!!!!
Oh my god. That is hilarious.
If the money was not going to defend pedophiles, I would totally buy a handcrafted FLDS toy.
LOL!!!
You don't have to be "outdoorsy" to enjoy this personal pillow. Toss it into the truck or relax in the hammock. Use it as is, or exchange the pillow form with a fleece blanket. Either way. It is your style. Rugged or ultra comfortable.
16x16. Washable.
Use it as is, or exchange the pillow form with a fleece blanket.
what does that even mean?????
I know - if these were "freed" FLDS women I would be all over this stuff. Still, I wonder if (hope?) the success of this store would "turn on the light" for these women that they could take care of themselves and don't need these nasty men to run their lives.....
