Front Page LOVE on ETSY

It was 1:00am (yes in the morning). I'm tossing and turning because the Taco Soup and Mini Cheeseburgers are giving my stomach grief, and low and behold I get a notice that my Garden Party earrings are on the Front Page of ETSY. Wahoo, Yay!!! But it's 1:00am PST. Who is going to see it? Just me I guess. Oh well, it was wonderful. And these earrings are darling! I just wish I could figure out how to get the treasury to post here. You can view it on my FB page @ http://www.facebook.com/tippystocktonjewelry.

ETSY Front Page x 3 = Happiness

Last week was a whirlwind week for me. When I joined the ETSY community a couple of years ago, I was just another shopper. I guess I had always thought that someday I would become a seller. So after a few life changing events in my life, I decided to jump in feet first. I have to admit, that at first I was thinking that perhaps ETSY was a waste of my time. I would list new items, and nothing. After my Mom passed away in January, I decided to take my late Father's advice - do what makes you happy and never have regrets. So as I grieved my Mom's death, I spent many solitary hours at my work table dreaming up new designs. I scoured the forums on ETSY for advice about making this business work. So after 9 months of designing and learning, I'm feeling like I have finally made it. This past week, ETSY featured not one, but three items on their Front Page - in the ETSY World, this is HUGE!!! I am honored and flattered to say the least. Here's a peek at the pieces that were featured and the good news is that they are all available on my site. I am so looking forward to this Holiday Season. I have a huge show coming up next week - The Funky Junk Sisters Antique Show and Flea Market. Then I set up shop at a couple of home shows, a Trunk Show, and then my own Open House. More about all these exciting events will be featured in the next week or so. Until then, I'm off to my lovely little Studio to see what else I can come up with.
