Open for business

I have been feverishly working away today setting up an Etsy Shop. You all know about Etsy, right? It's an online marketplace for handmade items. Here's what my shop looks like.



Click on the image and it will take you to the real shop.

The first items I have listed for sale are some of those many birds I have been making for the past year. I have given each bird a name, so that I can keep track of what has sold. (Sold?!) There is a method to my naming system. I'll bet you can figure it out if you look at them.

So, wish me luck. It would be nice to make a little money to support my fabric habit! I will be posting new things soon.

  1. I'm definitely in need of a new bird to replace a little clay bird I bought in Chile years ago (which our cleaning lady accidentally broke). My difficulty is in deciding which one. I'll think on it for a day or two and pick one!

  3. I bought one of Terry's birds. I am so excited. I saw the darling bird on Terry's blog back on January 6, 2008. She said it was a favorite. I was so happy to see it in her Etsy shop.
    Lucky me!

    Now, how about those etchings/prints?

  6. Sorry about the deleted comment, it was basically the same except I had messed it up and it didn't make sense. Del

  8. I'm delighted you're selling these wonderful creations of yours on Etsy. I just checked and saw there are only two left after being posted for hardly more than ONE day. I'm looking forward to having Basil the Crow as a mascot in my studio. Thank you.
