What a fantastic idea this is -  Bug Off movie theater and airplane seat covers!
 
"Have you ever thought about what is on those filthy looking seats in the movie theatres and airplanes? We did and what we found are hundreds of allergens, perfumes, oils, chemicals, lice, bed bugs, mites, bacteria, germs, parasites and ringworm (yes ringworm!). What about the fact that those seats rarely get cleaned. Gross!"

CAZMERE

Artisan GAIL CIPITI brings us super-fun embellished purses, frames, mirrors and potted plumerias." The inspiration for my Caz-Mirrors comes from the storybook lake town of Cazenovia that I lived in. Cazenovia has a rich history. Many an evening I would wander into the village where the streets are lined with homes built in the 1700's, 1800's and early 1900's and attend an old hometown auction held in an old building by the local grocery store."
