Featured...

This very blog was recently featured over at Pocket Change, a cool shopping blog.  You can see the post here.  I'm pretty excited, because they found me and asked if they could feature me.  Fun stuff!

[Bonus! Photo of my daughter sitting in her "Big Bird Nest". Just happens to be both the first and last time she'll have done that. Ahem.]

Blog mentions

Here's the latest (short) round-up of blog mentions for my Etsy shop:

An interview I did for this ephemera blog.

My board game coasters were picked for this post of Monopoly cuteness!

Yay!


(Complete side note: As I typed the word "round-up", I felt a surge of anger, due to the fact that I just watched this documentary.)

"Virtual Trunk Show" ...Huh?

What the heck is a virtual trunk show? Well, it's actually quite exciting and high-tech. A regular old trunk show is where a seller, or two, or five, or ten, get together at a physical location and show off their wares. Sometimes there's wine and cheese or what have you. Usually there's a sale. It's kind of like an open house, but it's usually at a storefront, and it's usually more than one person.

A virtual trunk show is where a bunch of sellers get together at a specific place on the internet to show off their wares. Which is exactly what the Etsy Trashion Team is doing this Friday. Yep, Friday. Black Friday. Although we prefer to call it Green Friday. Save your gasoline, stay home, and buy from Etsy Trashion sellers. We make stuff out of reused materials! Yay! That makes them super green and super one-of-a-kind. Double win!




You can just hop on over to the Etsy Virtual Labs on Friday at 7pm (Eastern), and you'll see the announcement for the Trashion Trunk Show. Just click on in, hang out, here us give our spiels, and take advantage of our sales! Oh, and did I mention there will be door prizes? Yep, prizes. Plural. Woot!

Featured on the Storque!

Hey! One of my babies has been featured in an article on the Storque (Etsy's blog). Ironically, it's an article about gifts for NPR lovers. (The irony there is that I do not love NPR.)

Here's the article.

Here's what was featured:

New Blog Mention

My Marcia, Marcia, Marcia stickers were featured on a blog!

I highly recommend reading the entire blog post. It's not too long, but it's very interesting.

Woot!

Mentions!

I've been mentioned on blogs!

Second (probably due to the first), Deer Finds likes my Farrah Hair stickers! Woo hoo!

So check out these bloggers and give them some reciprocal blog love action.

I'm on another blog!

Quick shout-out to LilBrigid of Grey Eye Designs -- she has a great list of Mother's Day gift suggestions on her blog, featuring yours truly and a slew of other great Oklahoma Etsy sellers! Thanks, Brigid!

"Of course! I'd be happy to!"

I imagine this is what I said to the wonderful lady at my church who asked if I would like to donate something to the silent auction/fund raiser she is doing for the Christian dance team she is involved with. I'm afraid it came out more like, "Um. Yeah. I can do that. Sure." Hmm.

Well, in any case, I am happy to, and I will be. She'll get one of these:


And one of these:


Oh, also, free publicity for me! Can't beat that.

Branching Out

In an effort to take my little business to the next level, I've started consigning some of my items to various places. You can find my neck tie stockings at a little antique store in Fairmont, MN (hi, Mom!). You can also find an assortment of my wares at Pink Andie Beads in Mechanicsburg, PA. It's a small bead store that just opened earlier this month, which also carries a smattering of handmade goods. Check out the pictures, and see if you can spot some of my items!

And another picture that for some reason doesn't show up at the above link:


(Those are my book journals, board game coasters, and lavender sachets!)

Three Things

One:
A nice lady wrote a nice blog entry about me and Chaos Into Art.


Two:
Shout out to my mom! We make a great team.



Three:
Apparently along with the Writers, the Writers' office chairs are also on strike.
