Moving On

No, I'm not changing my blog URL again (learned my lesson) or shutting down my Etsy shops. Well, I did but elpy [Paper] on vacation for a while.

I'm thinking about what I could do for my business, and this here blog, to help it grow. I'm thinking about my style and my items. I'm thinking about how I promote, or don't promote. I'm thinking about finding some shows to do...until I see how much shows cost.

It's a new Vortextuality of sorts, a mental crossroads. Old frustrations, new possibilities. I'm ready to move past this, whatever block it is that I'm fighting. Wish I knew what do exactly.

ThisNext:: enamored

From one of my new favorite Etsyans, enamored.

Woodgrain is hot at the moment. I saw this in a recent Etsy blog article and had to add it to my list on ThisNext...and Etsy faves.

WB- Helix for Spring

It was just gorgeous on Saturday and Sunday. Today it's a wintry mix, big wet snowflakes. Boo!

Finishe the driving class. I wish it was more insightful. Pretty much everything was a restatement of the info in the driving manual that you should read before you take the test. The only thing I came away with is that it's now nearly pointless to get your license before you're 18 in CT. Lots of restrictions and fines. There's no reason I can see for the class costing $125. It was nice to get out of the house, though.

Post Picture:Listing Helix Earrings that are pastel-themed. Perfect for spring.

Zephyr- My bee

I recently bought this from Stacey Rebecca, the awesomest puppet lady. I love it. I think he needs a name. Larrabee, Bernabee...haha. Yes, the bee is a he, he told me so. :)

Seller Tips- Think Bakery

I'm an indie-preneur, a micro-business owner constantly looking for ways to promote my work. I started this column, Seller Tips, to help me keep track of my findings and to pass them on to you.

[what's it called] Think Bakery
[where'd you find it] Twitter
['splain it please] They bake businesses.

Erin of Design for Mankind is one of my Twitter contacts. She mentioned one day that she was baking business. I was intrigued...and thought it was a typo. :P

She has partnered with Jaime of Design Milk. They're using their years of experience in advertising, public relations and copywriting to help small businesses around the world.
