Grand Opening

I DID IT! I finally opened an Etsy shop.

Now you can shop with me on line when you cannot make it to my craft shows.

So...without further ado I am pleased to announce my

Heartfelt and Homemade Etsy Shop. TaDa!

 You will also find a mini widget on my sidebar which will take you to my shop.

Click on the shop name and take a sneak peek!

Here you will find creations with my personal touch; anything from junky trash to treasures, altered art, vintage, shabby chic and my photography. I love to recycle junk and make it once again functional and oh so shabby and chic for you to enjoy. There will be seasonal items for fall and the holidays like Christmas and lots of shabby pink stuff. And don’t worry you lovers of prim…I will have a few things you might like too…given time to get them done! I promise to not make it all pink and shabby!! Also some of my photography will be featured so you can buy my prints once I get them in the store.

I’m really excited about this new venture and also a little apprehensive at the same time. Will I sell anything? Will anyone find something they like and make an effort to purchase it? Is Etsy the right place to do this? Am I wasting my time and the cost of listing items for sale? Will people find my shop? All these and many more questions cross my mind and this is why I have not bothered to venture out and do this before now. Fear of the unknown, fear of messing up, fear of no sales, fear of wasting a little money, and the fear of my insecurities and lack of confidence. But for now the excitement is greater than the fears, so I jumped into the raging waters and I’m swimming. Please say a little prayer that I do not sink. Take a look at my treasures and let me know what you like. I will try to keep new things coming as I get them photographed and displayed. If you have any Etsy experience you would like to share with me, please do so; if you are looking for something particular just ask…I’ll see what I can do. You as well as your ideas and advice are always welcome.

As they say…"You never know until you try". So I’m going t try this!

These quotes are an inspiration too:

"Move out of your comfort zone.
You can only grow if you are willing to feel
awkward and uncomfortable
when you try something new."
~Brian Tracy

"The big shots are only the little shots who keep shooting."

~Christopher Morley

"In the long run, men hit only what they aim at.

Therefore, they had better aim at something high."

~Henry David Thoreau

And My favorite:

"Take a chance! All life is a chance.

The man who goes the furthest is generally

the one who is willing to do and dare."

~Dale Carnegie

So we’ll see how this goes…wish me luck!
