An Etsy NJ Team Treasury made by ShutterKate was on the Front Page this morning! I got over 165 hits on my repurposed books as a result! So exciting! Congrats!
Abby and I talked about how we thought I needed to have a picture of someone holding the monkeys so I made her be the model. See more pics here.
I made a Treasury yesterday that features artists who contribute their proceeds to support a cause. It included Etsy for Animals and to thank me they featured me on their blog today!
So excited! This made the Front Page today! I missed it but that's okay...I told Abby she would have had to call 911 if I saw it on the Front Page because I would have had a heart attack!!!!
I had an appointment yesterday to have the shop carpet professionally cleaned (they canceled and rescheduled for next week). I needed to pick everything up off the floor and ended up cleaning the whole shop. I rearranged a bit and it's looking really great!
This week I got in a couple new birthday card lines. They are snarky and humorous, just the way we like 'em!
I've been included in Lani's Wednesday Wish List on her blog Objects of Affection. Thanks Lani!
New arrivals today: Skeleton PIrate Finger Puppets, Pickle-pult, Terrified Pickles, and Dashboard Hula.
I started a new batch of sock monkeys and made an awesome new market bag this week.
Tomorrow is our backyard sale and it looks like it will be the hottest day of the year so far. I only have a couple more boxes of items to price tonight. Stop by for great deals, especially the last remaining old stock items from Copabananas. It's all priced to go!
I made another Treasury , this time the theme is repurposed items. And one of the gLove Story Dolls
in a Treasury too!
Recently I struck up a conversation with a nice woman about my handmade items. She was inspired by them enough to custom order her daughter's high school graduation gift. She brought me a pair of her daughter's socks, one of her old gloves, a scarf the girl had knit, and a large piece of the girl's favorite fabric. I made a sock monkey, market bag, and gLove Story Doll. The woman left me the task of naming the gLove Story Doll. The girl's name is Hannah and I named the doll Palindrome Perfection.
The order was really fun to make and I think she'll love it.
Lots of favorites and a couple new items came in today! The Giant Handlebar Mustache and the Bacon Vs. Tofu Bendy Figures are new from Accoutrements. Also from Accoutrements are the Bizarro Glasses I love and Shakespeare Action Figure. From Blue Q I got an assortment of breath sprays, stickers, and tattoos, including Tattoos for Babies.
This Saturday our backyard will be
turned into a carnival of super-fun-everything-must-go-great-deals-to-be-had extravaganza! My neighbors Katie and Mark are collaborating with us and it will surely be a day to remember. Among the treasures offered will be Polaroid cameras, vintage items including vintage fabric, tons of kids stuff like clothes and toys, an old typewriter, a large beautiful rug with padding, a tv, records, an army cot, gas grill, leather jackets, cds, dvds, books, kitchen items, appliances, a bike trailer, and lots of merchandise from Copabananas that I no longer carry like paper products, decorations, packages of plastic knives, Halloween costumes...and sooo much more. What will make this super fun, though, is that Katie will also be doing caricatures and her cousin will be selling her gourmet baked goods! Our next door neighbors are on board to have their yard sale that day too and I'm sure we will defeat any other neighborhood yard sale that tries to compete with us! Earlybirds are welcome and we'll be open from 8 until 4. Located on the dead end part of Forest St. off Chestnut.
St. Louis Magazine published a cool little article about the Crammed Organisms show!
Here are some of the new felt birds I've been making non-stop.
Making Treasuries is addicting! Abby helped with this one.
This Sunday at the Montclair YMCA I'll be doing chair massage at the Montclair Run.
