To Spam or not to spam..

The Etsy high-ups just threw out this great post about spamming/not spamming on social networking and Etsy forums/Storque. I thought it was SO TIMELY.

I myself am sometimes guilty of being a little over-enthusiastic on my Twitter about my new items... sorry Tweeps if any of you have felt spammed. I will only post and RT the coolest items now. Promise. Well, I'll try at least...

I also get the feeling that most of you follow me for a reason...

1) You're a friend of mine IRL.

2) You're interested in my items or the category my items fit within.

3) You're just looking for followers... any which person will do as long as they follow back.

4) You're a bot. Enough said.

For all of you, thank you for following me here at the blog, on Etsy, on Twitter or on Facebook. I really appreciate your support and /rare/sometime/frequent/constant comments and suggestions. I could not keep going without you.

I will however try to refrain from ticking you off. Let me know if I have/ever do. Pretty please?!

*SQUEEE*

I made it into my first ever juried indoor booth craft show! *Sqeeee! * (What does that mean you say? Well..... A LOT! Check out that link above to learn more.)

I'll be at the St. Louis Craft Mafia's Indie Craft Revolution Show at the St. Louis Artists' Guild (Oak Knoll Park, Clayton MO) on March 13th from 10-6 and 14th from 10-4.

Come out and support me and handmade as well as lots of other local artists and crafters!

More info to come about other participants as the dates get closer.

Betty Blue Treasury

I'm in a very pretty Blue themed treasury by Etsy seller BomChelle...

Here's the item by itself... She included my Mini Urban Nomad Felt Headband in Powder Blue

The Dewitt Vintage Necktie Headband Hat Fascinator

So after puzzling over the tie necklace dilemma for a while... it struck me. I could make the ties into hats. Why I didn't think of this sooner, I'll never know. I'll put just about anything on a headband without too much provocation... recall the large glitter angel christmas ornament fiasco. Anyway... those days are gone- thank goodness- and now I've got these Dewitts on the brain....

I'll also have some Mini Dewitts sometime next week... for when the regular Dewitt is just too much!

Gravitate

So I haven't blogged in a while. I'll blame the holidays...

Anyway, here are the 3 new necklace I made yesterday. Apparently I have a thing for labradorite or maybe just that color of blue green. I seem to gravitate toward it... but mostly just in jewelry. Hmmm.

Juxtaposition- Labradorite Aquamarine Sterling and Pearl Double Strand Necklace

Juxtaposition- Simple Labradorite and Skeleton Key Necklace

I've got lots of other neat stuff in the works. I got my hands on the new books of the resort and spring collections in Europe and NYC. They always give me tons of ideas to try. COMING SOON!
