How Exciting!

I did something new this week. When the voter nomination thread popped up in the Etsy forums, I thought to myself, "Hey, I have Easter stuff! It can't hurt to post something here!" So I nominated my little one egg wonder basket. I didn't make it into the voter, but my basket is featured in the Storque article about the voter. Yay me! It's so exciting to be featured with all of the other amazing Easter items on Etsy, but it is even more satisfying knowing that I played a part in getting it there by taking a little leap. Double yay!

A Wacky Week In Review

Last week was craaaaaaazy! My husband was out of town, my parents were here from Florida, I had tons of presents to get wrapped, and I sold 21 items between Dec. 7th and Dec. 14th! As if that wasn't enough to make an already nutso person flip over the edge, I was one of the artists featured in the Storque's *shop local VA* article by Mel at backwoodsophisticate. Click on the link to see a photo of me and several other VA artists. The same day that came out, my friend Amanda at sygnetscreations sent me a message that one of my bowls was on the front page of Etsy! Thank you adornbyamysingley for including me in your collection!What a rush!! I'm still all full of adrenaline- better use it to get crocheting, huh?

Anda Found Me Again :)

Anda is an Etsy admin who featured one of my bowls in her "finds of the week" back in June. That gave me huge exposure, and I was so grateful to her. I learned then that she is also from Virginia, so we have that little something in common.

This morning, when I glanced down at the article clips that scroll across when you click on *community*, my eye was drawn to the trivets pictured, and the words "travelling to Virginia". I clicked to see the whole article, and guess what? My stripey table coaster rug is featured in the photo collage at the bottom of the page. Now that's a nice way to start the day! Thank you, Anda, wherever you are!
