My new Etsy connections

My Etsy store is only 1 1/2 weeks old- and it is getting great traffic and attention. I think I owe some of that to my activity in the forum section. I frequent the critiques and the promotions section as often as I can. Many of these people have significantly helped me get my shop to where it is right now. I received lots of advice on how to write a good short shop announcement, but still explain what these little colored dots are all about. And I got some great feedback on my current banner-- it is what it is because of the advice of fellow etsy friends.

So I met some great Etsy artists today and want to showcase a few of their products or their blogs.

The first one I met was sirenumscopuli (Don't ask me how to say it! :) This new Etsy member has beautiful white clay pendant rose necklace found here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26454546

lostsentiments is next on my list- Here is her blog http://lostsentiments.blogspot.com/ and she has these cute little hand crocheted Amigurumi Teddy bears that are just adorable here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26470517

irinaphotography has a picture on her etsy page that is very similar in color and light to a Pebble beach picture that I have hanging in my living room: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26469978 her blog is here: http://irinaphotos.blogspot.com/2009/06/zoo.html

glimmeringprize posted some VERY exciting news on her BLOG today! SHE IS NOW A PUBLISHED ARTIST-- How exciting is that! http://glimmeringprize.blogspot.com/ Now she is an artist who cleverly mixes up all different types of media that are out there to create these one of a kind art pieces. You will be amazed!

Now this one is cool- I've never seen this-- a hand carved toilet seat cover- allenbritebath here is the blog...http://themidnightcarver.blogspot.com/ This one is my favorite because I love bears- http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25955674

Then I came across scrappincorner who sells handmade scrapbook style cards and her blog has instructions listed on how to make your own...What a great idea-http://www.karismaheartsavannah.blogspot.com/ This is the perfect card for me becasue it would be something I would send to my best friend Amanda! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25991096 She is trade friendly- so I put the bug in her ear about that :)

Then My last one for tonight is teddystartedit and flutterbygirly- sounds like something my 4 year old would say as an excuse! But she has posted a home recipe for a sunburn relief. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25991096 she is a stay at home mom, just like me who like to concoct different "lotions and potions". And who wouldn't love the cute little etsy avatar shes got: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5890364

But that is my Etsy exploring today- I came across things that were just too unique not to share- Enjoy and Good Night...
