A Brand New Look

This gorgeous vintage rose fabric was the inspiration for the final version of my fabulous new Etsy shop banner! Jessi of jessijewels.etsy.com worked tirelessly and SO patiently to get it just right, and I can't thank her enough. Look for the trivet made from the same fabric in my shop soon!

Totally Terrific Tags

I've never been one of those matchy matchy people in my everyday attire. You know the ones whose hairbow matches their socks? And shirt and pants and purse and belt and shoelaces and, presumably, panties? Arguably, though, denim matches everything, and if so, I always match. But I digress.

There is something to be said for being completely coordinated in your packaging, and thanks to Jessi at jessijewels.etsy.com, I have finally reached that pinnacle. These are my gorgeous new product tags, and I can't tell you how pleased I am with the way they turned out. Not only do they match my stickers, return addy labels, and thank you notes, but they will save me scads of time and make my packages look the best they have ever looked!

If your packaging and/or branding needs an overhaul, run, don't walk, to this shop right here, right now! You will be SO glad you did.

Super Stickers

I am so excited about my new shop stickers, I just have to share! Jessi at jessijewels.etsy.com is the BEST. She listened carefully to what I wanted, gave me 3 beautiful choices in a super timely manner, and made these gorgeous stickers just for me. If you are in the market for something to make your packaging stand out, look no further than this "jewel" of a shop!

My New Goodies!

Prettifying my packages is important to me, as is incorporating my *brand* at every opportunity. While I enjoy putting my own creative touch on my wrapping, I also recognize when someone else can do something better than I can! Many of my item tags and stickers have been happily purchased from other Etsy sellers; I highly recommend promosinasnap, kjpatino, tudorhouse, and wildmagic for their excellent work, communication and customer service.

I am just jumping up and down with excitement about my latest purchase for my shop, though! These appreciation cards were designed and made just for me by Jessi at jessijewels.etsy.com. Every single thing about this transaction was pleasurable. Jessi kept me in the loop with what she was working on and happily made changes as we tweaked the details together. The end result is beautiful, and the attention to detail and professionalism displayed by this shopowner is superb. I enjoy just looking at these in my craft room, and writing a thank you message on them when I send out a package is pure heaven. I LOVE my cards and I LOVE jessijewels!

Unbelievable!

What started out as an otherwise not very good day in the Thoma house got substantially better toward late afternoon. Incredibly, I found myself on the front page of Etsy again. Twice in one week!! This time I have lobello.etsy.com to thank for the honor. I also have several very good friends to thank for their congrats convos which alerted me in the first place. Super big hugs to Ally at iheartthatdance.etsy.com, Sarah at GenuineArticle.etsy.com, Michele at sweetirie.etsy.com, and Jessi at jessijewels.etsy.com for the kind messages! It would be no fun at all to be on the front page and have no one to share it with :)
