What is
Etsy?
'
Etsy is the world's most vibrant handmade marketplace.
Etsy celebrates
individual creativity in design and craftsmanship by connecting unique
people, stories and items in a playful and meaningful way.
Etsy provides
a marketplace for crafters, artists and collectors to sell their
handmade creations, vintage goods and crafting supplies.'
If you want a unique or personalized gift for someone,
Etsy is the place to go. Several of my customers have shops on
Etsy. Some of the things they create are jewelry, birdhouses, tart burners, crochet and knit items, wood signs, and so much more. De'Anna and I had a shop on
Etsy several years ago but with full time jobs, children/grandchildren and life in general, we did not have time to maintain our
Etsy shop and closed it.
Well, I've opened another! This time not as a crafter (since I just don't have time to do a lot of crafting), but as a supplier. I've listed all our black enamel silk screen fused glass decal sheets here:

I've got so many links to
Etsy in this blog that I could create my own chain link fence!
A girl's gotta keep her options open. Plus I've got hungry mouths to feed so the more potential crafters that see my decals the more chances I have to sell them and use the proceeds to buy lottery tickets . . . I plan to retire someday and the lottery is my retirement plan.
Oh, gosh, a blog without a picture? That will not do! Um...quick, what can I pop in here? One of the reasons I do not have time to make crafts for Etsy is that I make the Halloween costumes for my oldest son and his 3 little ones. They were all vampires last year. This year, let's see Trinity wants to be a Zombie Bride, Skyler wants to be Stewie from Family guy, Sonny wants to be a Super Hero. Guess I better get busy on costumes soon!
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
