Do you promote YOUR Etsy shop?

I just came across this most awesome site Scrumpy Designs. The theory behind this site? They will help you promote YOUR Etsy shop. When you register you can set-up:

A profile picture (or your avatar)
Your Shop Description
Your Sales and Promotions
Your Etsy Mini
Your Etsy Items
Your Contact Info
Your Links such as other shops, blogs, flickr

They have an Etsy Showcase where you can view all the Etsy Minis signed up AND you can view all the Etsy Items or "Ads" by clicking on the Etsy Items section on their main page. I've been on this site for the past hour.....because...they also have a blog page. If you like to read blogs then you must visit their Links section and then hit blogs. Totally unbelievable. Love it!

Do you Trade?

I am no longer a trading virgin!! And, for my first trade...it is a GREAT one!

When I was approached by GoatsDesign's seeing if I would be interested in trading, well, she just made my day. I took a look at her shop and LOVED it.

What she is getting from me:

Trailing African Daisy Notecards, Set of 6

And what I am getting from her: Brown Sugar Pomegrante Scrub with Strawberry Seeds

and

Raspberry Lip Balm

I can't wait to get my delicious goodies!!

Just Joined Indiepublic!!

I am so excited to have joined Indiepublic.....I am so looking forward to meeting other crafters/artists and seeing all the wonderful mediums they have to offer.

In case you are not familiar with Indiepublic (as I was not until recently), Indiepublic is an independent art and design community. It is a great way to meet other artists, share your wares, join groups that revolve around your craft and in the midst of all this make friends. So, if you're an artist, designer, retailer, blogger, then I would definitely check out Indiepublic.

If you are already a member, please stop by my page and we can become friends.

See you there!

Flowers, Flowers and more Flowers....

Okay, so I knit, make jewelry and dichroic glass but it seems that I have thrown myself into my photography. So much so that I'm thinking of making my Etsy shop entirely photography related items only. Hmmm....this is something that I have to think long and hard.

In the meantime, I'd love to show you my latest listings:

These are my Orange Iris cards

and my Italian Bed & Breakfast cards.

Some other pics that I have yet to list are my

Marigold and another flower that I, honestly, do not know the name of (have to ask the hubby).

And that's what I did today!!

And the winner is.......

Tiffany Johnson!! Hooray!!!

Tiffany is the proud winner of a 6 pk of notecards AND a pair of earrings.

Picking the winner was a very scientific process. It involved a pen, a piece of paper, an easter basket and a 6 yr old boy. Okay, well it wasn't so scientific but you would have thought my son was picking a million dollar lotto winner! We had alot of fun!!

Speaking of fun, we, Tammy and I, had a great time promoting this giveaway and we are so happy with the response and entries. Thank you so much to everybody who took the time from their busy schedules to look at our shops and enter our giveaway.

Have a wonderful weekend!

My First Giveaway Contest!!

As I've posted here before, two Etsy Street Teams, JET and EtsyGreetings, have collaborated for the month of July with a Business Buddy program.


My Business Buddy has been Tammy of ArtMadeByTammy. What started as two strangers working together to promote each other's businesses, has turned into a friendship that I know will continue even after this program. What better way to end this wonderful promotion then by having a fabulous Giveaway....and my first one at that to boot!


Here's how to enter:


1) Check out Tammy's shop at Art Made By Tammy

2) Check out my shop at The Eclectic Studio

3) Pick out an item from each shop that you feel would make a great match

4) Come back here and tell me which two items you chose


And what will the winner receive? A set of 6 note cards from me. Pick any images that you like....all the same image or mix and match.



This Giveaway begins today and will end on Friday, August 1st. All comments will be pooled together and a winner will be chosen.


Thanks for playing!!!!



UPDATE....Tammy has announced that she will throw in a pair of earrings.
A 6 pk of notecards and a pair of earrings.....can't beat that!
SWEET!!!
