The Art of Giving

One of my favorite blogs holds a weekly give away. Beautiful things are always featured and her writing is always entertaining. I’m speaking of Subu. You can find her blog here and her Etsy shop here. I am completely honored to be featured as the giveaway. I think it helps to get these bracelets out […]

The Day The Views Died

Today was an interesting day in the world of Etsy. If you are an Etsy seller and haven’t been stalking the threads today, go check out your item views. Notice something? No, you’re eyes aren’t playing tricks on you and no, you have not entered the twilight zone. Our views are all reset, back to […]

Arkansas – more than Wal-Mart and Tyson Chicken

The AREtsy Street Team has it’s blog up and running. In the future, this blog will serve as a great place to learn about some amazing artists in the state of Arkansas. For now, it’s a great please to go do some shopping (either the kind that ends with a purchase or some window shopping […]

A Good Ending

Today was a good ending to the work week. (note – work is my 8 – 5 job, not my jewelry making endeavors) It’s been a heck of a work week. There have been multiple party time events, multiple event type events, plenty of stress/heartache/a few tears, and the potential for change. Yes, a busy […]

Happy Valentine’s Day

What a romantic day today can be for so many people. Gifts are exchanged, jewelry given, candy consumed (or in the case of my Sweet and I, we had heart shaped pizza), and flowers presented. It is a great time of year to give and exchange gifts. My Etsy street team, AREtsy, did just that. […]

Not Sure I Can Top That

My gardening post with the lovely pics of my herbs from last summer got more comments than any post I’ve had so far. I’m not sure if I can top that. Perhaps an upcoming giveaway would bring them flocking again? Stay tuned for that. I present to you a picture of my poor, neglected crafting […]

Almost There

I’ve been telling everyone who cares that I don’t blog and visit other’s blogs because I’m addicted to the internet, but because it’s a good way to get the word out about your shop (and get some good reading in as well). Today proved that. My coworker/friend/fellow AREtsian , Beaded Bombshell, recently let me know […]

It’s Not Fair

I recently stumbled upon these lovely and oh so simple earrings on Etsy. Both are by LisasLovelies and both I could not wear on a regular basis. True, I can’t wear most earrings on a regular basis due to a metal allergy I have (silver included) but these are so perfect to wear everyday when […]

I Found It!!!

Lookie here! A penguin and the Eiffel Tower. Thanks to OrangeCrushed, I can have my cake and eat it to. Goodnight everyone.

Goodbye Old Friend

I’m not going to lie when I say I’ve been a bit discourage by my Etsy sales this month. I’ve had a trade and played along on the SNS Secrets thread last weekend, but not really any sales to sing about. I considered relisting a scarf yesterday. It had been almost a month since I […]
