I've since turned my attention to the online market. I opened an Etsy store two years ago and have been selling live on YouTube since before it was cool. I try to provide vintage paper goods and some fabrics to those interested in creating with them. I try to inspire creativity through the things I sell. A lot of the books have terrific images or covers. I really enjoy finding old notebooks or letters with someone's handwritten sentiments on them. Something about the handwritten piece really speaks to me as an artist (if I only make messes, can I really consider myself to be an artist?).
I try to upload inspirational videos to Youtube as I can - more having been made lately. The last couple of years was hard to create and upload videos. My space wasn't really set up to do it (still isn't - I just throw it all off the desk for a while!) and I am creating in my livingroom/kids bedroom until I can get a studio set up. I might take you on the studio journey with me depending on how thrilling I find it.
I want to use this space to share my creations and ideas. I want to give you a chance to see what I find and give you a few special opportunities to snag goods before I list or live sale them.
What other things interest you? What do you want to see on here and in my newsletter? I want to provide you with inspiration through the blog and newsletter. I'm using Blogger for now before I go and set up a website, which is an expense I can't justify at the moment. But, if this proves to be a success, who knows what the future will hold...?
Thanks for reading my ramblings! I'll be updating and changing and creating things as I go along. Your input is always appreciated regardless of the stage of development I'm in. I do this for myself, but I do this for you, too. I want to give you a place to come and enjoy a cup of coffee while looking at things you love and finding new ideas for things to create.
Stay tuned...you never know what I'll come out with next!
