purple nurple

I snagged a treasury on treasury west yesterday, completely by accident. For some reason I though PURPLE! Then the first phrase to come to mind was purple nurple. Silly I know.

hot off the presses

Just listed and I love it. I love the fall colors, the vintage feel, and the pure romance of it.

Recently listed on etsy

I just love this one, and I had fun putting it together. The vintage blue Irish stamp just pops.

I was on the front page of etsy.

I was lucky enough to be in a treasury curated by uncorked last week. I had no idea I was included, so imagine my surprise when I see one of my necklaces on the front page. It was quite thrilling!

getting back to it

I have been working on getting my etsy shop back up and running after a brief sabbatical. Here is a darling necklace I listed this week. Wish me luck.

just listed and one of my hearts

Just listed in my etsy shop are the fun autumn inspire hang tags. You get 5 tags each of six different patterns. All hand strung and ready to go. Great for scrapbookers, gift givers, and sellers alike! Check them out.




And to show it is not all about me, how about a peek in to my hearted etsy favorites.
This cute little "tab" is by Circa Ceramics It has sold out already, of course. I must have good taste. My favorites sell out like lightening fast.

Done!

But it took much longer than I anticipated to get through my first listing. Now I must head off to my "real job". All the hooplah (well in my eyes) about my launch, and I get one item listed. Ha! Ok, I am going to be late if I don't run!

I need an anxiety pill.

Oh, I am so nervous! I set today as the deadline to officially open my etsy shop. Well, the day has come. I am scared to death. I have a a big case of the butterflies in my tummy. Why? I don't know. Just jitters I guess.

I still haven't decided how many items to list today. I have read so much info in the last several weeks. My brain is hurting. I want to have a nice full shop, but I don't want to compromise the much talked about exposure. And I certainly don't want to bump the other wonderful artists by listing a bunch at once. So I will probably list two or three things a day over the next several days.


Unless, I chicken out. Ha! No I will not.
Because........................
OK, before I launch into a Stuart Smalley monologue, I am going to go.
Wish me luck!

Etsy store sneak peek

Dandyapple Etsy store launch countdown. Three days. The deadline is fast approaching! Here is a sneak peek of a dandy little pendant that will be in the shop.

12 days to Etsy store launch

I have made up my mind to do something I have been thinking about for over a year. I have set up an Etsy shop. It is absolutely amazing the number of talented folks on Etsy. I have lost a great deal of time searching through all the wonderful items and adding them to my "one day" list.

Since, I work much better if I have a looming deadline, I have set my grand opening date for August 14. I have been busy crafting, taking pictures, researching, and fretting over putting my handcrafted goodies "out there" for the world to see. Wish me luck.
