WOW.....

I was a little confused when I received a number of "convos" today in my etsy store. I was getting these really awesome compliments and wasn't sure how they found me? After some checking a craftcult.com I found that I was on the front page of etsy today. It has been a while since I have been there so it was a nice surprise!! The treasury was really beautiful.....fall colors perfect for this amazing fall day! Thanks for all the thoughtful compliments!

Front Page!

We are here

Two front page features during my moving weekend

Yay!! My family is back together....we were really missing dad! We are now here and living in KY. I have been walking around in circles for the past three days trying to make some sense of all this stuff....boxes and boxes of stuff. I have unpacked half of the kitchen and about the same in the kids rooms. I spent today visiting Paducah and looking at a studio space. I don't think it will work for me, but something else will come up. I have not worked in about four weeks now and am wishing for the day to come soon. The crazy thing is my "campfire tote" was on the front page of etsy while I was traveling on Sunday and when I took a break to twitter on Monday I checked Etsy and boom there it was again. It made me want to clear one corner of the house and start working immediately. I know I can't do that....my husband might give me stink eye. So, now I blog to let you know I am alive and well and will keep you posted on my new work.

A couple on things......

{one} So, I finally did it! Yes, I made it to the front page and sold the piece. Not only that...I broke my "no sales" streak in my shop. I have two etsy shops and I have not been very sucessful with my metal work. Mostly my fault, I just have not given it as much attention. Very cool way to end this overwhelming week. {thank you etsy}

{two} I was also, featured in etsy's blog The Storque! {smile}

I saw a rainbow the other day.

I can't remember the last time I have seen a full rainbow........it reached from one side of the sky to the other! Amazing and beautiful..........a sign? I can't help but think yes. I have had the privilege of "shining" on the front page of etsy three times recently! I feel very grateful and encouraged.

Another great landing!

So, I missed another one of my front page landings! Only knew something was up since I keep such a close watch on my hearts. This one was put together by Etsy Admin. and is filled with some great handmade goodness.

Etsy Front Page!!!!

This front page happened sometime this past week and I am just getting around to posting. I did not get a chance to see it for myself......thanks to my friend Colleen on Facebook who saw it and notified me. None the less, I was excited about landing there!! Thanks etsy admin. for browsing categories and curating a beautiful page.

Wow.........Etsy Front Page

Wow, (I said it again) I can't believe how insightful I was today! I walked my son to school and on the walk home I was saying to myself that I need to check on my other etsy shop. I have two stores, Helicopter Studios where I sell children's items and Heilo Studios where I sell metalwork. I use the word sell but I haven't sold anything. So, when I arrived on etsy.com I was checking out the front page as I always do and voila! There at the bottom was a piece from my Heilo Studios store. I have not looked at this shop in months, I have had some success with my children's toys but no luck with my metalwork. One of the reasons I started making my Discovery Totes was that I needed a break from metalworking and with all my research noticed that etsy is filled with jewelry shops. Although, I have been working at my jewelers bench making all my Christmas presents I have not worked on anything to sell. I am feeling the urge to work with metal again and this front page spot may have just propelled me!

Jasper the Feelbie Lands on Etsy Front Page!!

I never even got to see this one! I must say I was working very diligently in my studio most of the day and night yesterday. Although, I had a sneaking suspicion that this treasury would land on the front page. It was curated by Yaelfran who has a lovely shop on etsy and these were some of her favorites. I really love the broach by Julie Pollen who happens to be in my favorites too.

ETSY FRONT PAGE (repeat)

Thank you Lynette! I could not figure this out! She has shown me the way, and here is my front page picture. I still don't know who the curator was?

ETSY FRONT PAGE!!!!!

So, I was gone most of the day yesterday and arrived home to find this image on the front page of etsy!! I am such a dork, I cannot figure out how to show the entire page image on my blog. If anyone can direct me that would be greatly appreciated! I know it is possible because I have seen other etsy/bloggers post there front page landings.

Yeah!!! Front Page

So excited this morning to see one of my Discovery Totes on the front page of ETSY!!!
