INTRODUCING RUBY PLAZA! JOIN NOW AS A FLAGSHIP SHOP - LESS THAN 40 SPACES LEFT!

We are pleased to announce the launch of Ruby Plaza, an exciting new home to online shops offering home decor, jewelry, fashion & accessories and handcrafted items. www.rubyplaza.com

Currently in Beta mode, Ruby Plaza is designed to offer a wider selection of items than does our flagship sister site, Ruby Lane. Unlike Ruby Lane, new items in all categories, as well as reproductions, and handcrafted items of all types are welcomed. Ruby Plaza's selling guidelines are different than those of Ruby Lane, in order to reach a different audience of both buyers and sellers.

Ruby Plaza launches with some exciting promotional opportunities. While the 250 available spaces for Ruby Lane shop owners has filled, there are still spaces available for about 40 sellers who are new to the Ruby Lane "family" of sites. But hurry as these spaces are going fast and when they're gone, they're gone! You'll be able to identify Flagship shops by the icon which displays on their shop home page. Flagship sellers receive lifetime benefits including significant discounts.
