Packages That Come in The Mail...and a DISCOUNT CODE

Lately our mail has not been the usual 

fare of bills and advertisements.

Well, they have been there too, but,

We have also been receiving little packages.

Fun stuff.

I am going to show you what was in one

of the packages.  

But first.....

Some in my "real life" 

(You know, as opposed to virtual life)

have asked what in the 

world is Etsy.

Etsy is an online location that hosts (for a fee)

artists and vintage sellers individual shops.

The good and the bad is that everyone has

a uniform look and rules.

Being creative as we are I am sure this

stifles all of us a bit sometimes but for 

the most part I am thrilled to use this site.

Not having to start from scratch on a website

is wonderful.

Been there. Done that.

Within Etsy you can join Teams.

I have joined a couple.

The most active has more that 2000

members and is the 

Cristian Artists Street Team. (CAST)

I'll often pop onto a conversational thread at

some point throughout the day and chat with 

other Etsy sellers who are working away.

CAST also has a Team Blog.

There a different seller is featured at least 

weekly.  I happened to win a beautiful 

jewelry set by Tricia.

CreationsbyTricia is her shop name.

I love this necklace.  

It is so me.

There is a weight to it that

pleases me.

I tend to "fiddle" with my jewelry

and this feels sturdy enough to survive

the abuse.

It is very well made.

Isn't it pretty?

I am pleased with the response to my 

Etsy Candle Shop, so far.

Traditionally I close up the 

whole candle shebang over the Summer

so to have it up and running with sales

makes me a happy camper.

Making new friends 

in this venue has been fun too.

For the rest of this week you are 

invited to take 25% off your

total order from my shop.

Just use Code
