Etsy featured in today's NY Times online


There's an interesting article in today's New York Times Fashion & Style section. The hot topic of the day: things all Etsy sellers should consider before quitting their day job. Definitely check it out if you haven't already. Some really good food for thought and pointers for anyone who has ever considered turning their Etsy business into a full-time gig.

Custom Logo Stamps - Do you have one?

I've been thinking about getting a custom stamp made of my company logo. I think this would be really handy for so many things-- especially packaging up items. I've looked around on Etsy here and there and found a few people who make them.

Have any of you had stamps made of your company logo? Any recommendations?

Another custom project finished!

Here's another custom project I worked on this past weekend. It's going to be a gift from my boyfriend to his sister.

Extra large Metro Zip Pouch
Dimensions: 12" x 10"
How cute is this lining?
This is the largest zip pouch I've made so far and will be great to use for traveling. It can accommodate all your shampoo, conditioner, lotion bottles and much more!

Just like Santa's Workshop

I feel like I have a mini workshop in my living room. Now if only I had some elves to help me! = ) Been busy cranking out custom orders this weekend. As of right now, I've completed 4 since Saturday!
Wanted to share a few photos of the finished products:
Tara Travel Tissue Holder
The Tissue Holder and matching Zip Pouch were made as a set.

Dahlia Kimono Organizer Roll -sm
More photos of the rest of my finished orders to come later!

Dear Santa, Please bring me a camera.

I've been thinking about taking the plunge and investing in a digital SLR camera. I'm currently using a digital Cannon point-shoot to photograph my products. It works fine. It does the job, but I think that a better camera can really enhance the quality of my product photos and may be what I need to take my business to the next level.

Thoughts? Suggestions? What do you currently use to photograph your products?

****Just another reminder, I'm offering $1 shipping on all items in my shop from now until Christmas Day!

When It Rains, It Pours!

The Universe has a funny way of springing things on you all at once. Just when things start to get insanely busy for me at work (I just got assigned 2 new accounts!), the orders have really started to come in to my shop. Tis the season! Now don't get me wrong, by no means am I complaining about orders coming in. In fact, it makes me super happy! I'm always amazed by people who actually want to buy things I make! (Is that the noobie in me talking?) It's just funny that what they say is so true: when it rains, it certainly does pour!

By the way, I'm offering $1 shipping on all items in my shop from now until Christmas Day!
