Weekend Sale in My Etsy Shop - May 1 - May 3

10% off everything. In honor of my son's birthday, this will run Friday, May 1 through Sunday, May 3. No need for special codes. If you purchase anything on those days, I will automatically take the 10% off and send you a revised invoice.

Up and Coming Shops - Continued

A while back I posted a request on the Etsy forums for shops with exactly one sale so I could put one of their items in a treasury. Well, that treasury has come and gone, but I haven't finished spotlighting the shops I heard from. I've had to change the name of this series from One Sale Shops to Up and Coming Shops, since they've all gotten more sales! And I'm sure they won't have low sales for long, either.

The next shop on the list is Lucky Star Origami and I'm pleased to see when I check out her shop today that she now has 10 sales! And I can see why. She makes the cutest origami jewelry and miscellany. My favorites are still these little daffodil earrings:
Please check out this shop as well as the shops I featured earlier, who each have five sales as of this writing. (congratulations!)

It's a dog's day

Last week I posted photos of Sammie and Willow sitting on the window seat in my studio - one of their favorite places. When I came in this morning, I was surprised to find not Sammie and Willow, but Buddy, our dog! I guess he thinks whatever is good for the cats is good for him, too. He didn't stay long though, the sun coming in that window can be really hot this time of day. Now he's sleeping in a corner in the shade.
