2. Come back here and post a comment telling me which item is your favorite (and any other feedback you may have about the shop in general.)

I will close entries and select a winner on Sunday 3/1. Check back then to find out who won (I will also contact the winner directly.) Thanks for visiting!

Friday Giveaway!

Happy Friday! Would you like to win the cute little "Orphan Bead" zipper pull pictured above? Just leave a comment answering the questions below:

1. What is your favorite color?

I will choose the winner at random tomorrow morning. Good Luck!

I'm in a Treasury!

I had a message in my Etsy shop this morning letting me know I have an item featured in a treasury! Happy Day :) Check it out here.

So It Begins....

I realized last night that there is less than a month left before my first show of the spring--The Designers' Downtown Market on Saturday March 14th. I always like to have lots of new items for this show, which means I need to get to work. My tackle-box of findings and basic supplies is beside the couch and I have claimed a tray table to work on. This is how it begins....the mess only gets bigger from here :)

3. While growing up in Vermont I helped my family make maple syrup (I was the youngest, so my "help" was mostly bringing food to the sugar-house for my dad and "taste-testing" the fresh syrup!)
4. I have lost over 100lbs. in the past few years.
5. I play DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) almost every day (which was a huge factor in getting fit.)

Listing # 40!

I just reached my 40 item goal at http://smutopia.etsy.com/ ! Behold, my "Swingin' Dangles," the 40th and latest listing :) I'll be taking more photos this weekend for my next round of new listings. Leave a comment letting me know what colors and styles you would like to see more of!

Better late than never.....

So I still haven't quite made it to 40 listings--I'm currently at 38. I continue to push toward the goal, and hopefully will make it today. However, my efforts have not gone unrewarded--I had a sale last night of a lovely bracelet that has been in my shop for awhile. I'm glad it is finally going to a good home :) This all holds with a fundamental truth about my Etsy shop (and really any endeavor): you get out of it what you put into it. It's corny, but I have found it to be quite true.
