Boosting the Etsy Economy

I recently stumbled upon a new online payment program called Revolution Money Exchange, or RME for short. It is similar to PayPal except a lot of the fees are non-existent. It is currently in its Beta stage and they are offering a $25 sign up bonus. This is $25 that can be used to shop […]

Goodies Waiting for Me

You know, there really is not anything better than opening up a mailbox and finding a package. I had a couple of packages of goodies in my box yesterday (but I can’t reveal their contents just yet) and a package of goodies today. I have fallen in love with antiqued brass. It really couldn’t look […]

You’re Not in Kansas Anymore

*insert Wizard of Oz tornado scene music here* My cute little Monopoly house beads have come in – compliments of Origami Central. I officially heart Etsy Alchemy because of these. I posted what I needed and instantly had someone bid on it. No need to wait and wait on another bid when the first one […]

The Great Unveiling

This weekend I sat down in my little creative corner of my loft and ended up with a new line of jewelry soon to be for sale in my Etsy shop. I’m finding it hard not to photograph and get up there immediately. I really want to unveil these guys at the Spanker Creek Farm […]

Spring Cleaning

After many months of contemplation, I have finally added a “destash/sale” section to my shop. I’ve got way too many beads and will begin to list them in my Etsy shop in hopes that someone out there will give them a good home. Many of these beads are so close to “vintage” it hurts. However, […]

Garage Sales and Yarn

I woke up earlier than usual this morning in hopes of hitting up some garage sales in search of display items for the craft show and/or jewelry supplies. Well, my sweet decided he wanted to get up with me to have breakfast. We haven’t had breakfast on a Saturday morning together in ages – I […]

New Fun Things

I came home after busy day at work today and a mediocre Chinese dinner to find a package from KnittyDirtyGirl (my new fave Etsy shop) in the mail today. I had worked out a trade with her a couple of weeks ago and got some made to order yarn in “Robins Egg“. I can’t get […]

Twistin’ the Night Away

Those of us in Arkansas are very familiar with some very bad weather. While I’ve been safe here in my little haven in the Ozarks, towns nearby have not been so lucky. We’ve seen our share (and then some) of rain and tornadoes and it’s not even mid-April. My heart and thoughts go out to […]

Must Focus

I looked at the calendar tonight and realized I have less than one month before my next craft fair. Oy! I think I have enough product but I’m not sure. It might be easy enough to sit down with my jewelry and my computer and make my inventory list and see where there are any […]
