I have news, which I'm excited about; I have opened an Etsy shop. I'm spending so much of my free time making things, and enjoying doing so, that it seems a good idea to try to sell some of them. I thought long and hard about taking this big step, it feels quite scary to put one's wares on show so publicly, but I have had lots of encouragement from family and friends, and it feels like a good time to take the plunge. My things did pretty well at the craft fair last week, which was a good way of gauging if I'm on the right track; I made about £85, and have been asked to make another 7 things on commission, which is very heartening. There is a link to my Etsy shop on the sidebar on the right, please come and have a look round and tell me what you think; there are some of my makings there which I've already revealed on here, and there will be some new ones too in the coming weeks. I would welcome your feedback and thoughts, and tell all your friends too!!
To celebrate this I'm going to have a giveaway! Well, 2 giveaways , really........I have a star garland,
and a flower corsage in a lovely deep red colour
to give to 2 lucky winners. Just leave a comment after this post and say which of the two you would prefer to receive, stars or flower, and your name will be put into the hat. I will reveal the winners next week on Wednesday, 1st of December. Good luck :-)
Good luck with your new shop, I hope it's successful!
I'd like to put my name down for the flower please!

They are both beautiful, but I would love the STARS for our fireplace.
Thanks for the chance and I love your shop :)

Good luck with your etsy shop, it looks great!
(And should you consider entries for the give-away from Belgium: the garland is my favourite!)

Not sure if your giveaways are open to those of us in the States, but in any case, I adore your star garland! If I wasn't running out of time, I'd love to make some for around my home.
