Putting the Past Behind Me

I've decided to remove the Dandylion Vintage section of my shop. Given the amount of time I've spent focusing on my felting and painting, I think collecting vintage pieces and listing them may be too much. I want to hone the focus of my art and my store (as well as whatever "brand" may be associated with my work) and the vintage section feels a little scattered.

I'm going to leave the pieces up in the shop for another couple of weeks, and they are all discounted 50%, which is a steal for some of them. If they don't sell, luckily I love them all enough to keep them around the house!

GOOD NEWS: Tomorrow I have a meeting with someone who runs an ecological home store in Burlington. She's interested in potentially carrying a few of my wool creatures in her shop. I'm thrilled just to go into the shop, nevermind have my little friends there for sale. It's great just to go out and talk to people about my art. Anything beyond that is just icing.

I'm going to also put together a little portfolio and approach Jamie Two-Coats (a local toy store) about carrying my items. Since they are mostly for decoration, it may not fit with the "toy store" ethic, but perhaps! They do already carry decorative items, so maybe I'll get lucky. It's my favorite store in the whole world and I would be floored if she liked my things. Here's to hoping!

100 Sales & Giveaway

I am so grateful to announce that my little Etsy shop has reached 100 sales!!! I originally opened my shop in 2006 to sell paintings of birds on wires, but reinvented myself this past year. I listed the first 20 needle felted items on March 2nd. Since then, I've received so much positive feedback, made so many friends, and have grown my art immensely (go take a look at the first few listings!) In celebration of the first 100 sales, I'm offering a giveaway! The giveaway prize is the Plumpie that started it all - featured on the Etsy Finds blog and the item that generated the first wave of real interest in my shop - the sitting fox . I will make you one of your own, but you can see an example below: To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment with your contact information. One entry per person. The giveaway ends November 26th at 8:00 pm EST , with the drawing on November 27th. I'll announce the winner on Saturday, November 27th.
