Reassessing the Blog


When I started my blog, the idea was to write a blog based on my etsy shop. It seemed like a good way to promote my business and for my customers to get to know me. I wrote a few blog posts about crafty things I’ve been doing and my photography passion, but it hasn’t been particularly shop related. …Frankly, I don’t think shop posts would make very interesting reading...Today, I found this treasure hunting and I carefully cleaned and photographed it so it’d be shop ready….snore…

So, I decided to take a break and decide what I really want my blog to be about. I read a lot of blogs and I thought about what I like and dislike about different ones I read regularly and I kind of surprised myself. Turns out, I prefer blogs with more written content than photos. Who knew? I’m a PHOTOGRAPHER! It’s crazy! I’ll elaborate on this in a later post, but yep. Crazy. I think it’s because I’m an avid reader. I like stories. I don’t want bloggers to tell me they like “this” or “that” unless they tell me why.

I like diversity. Recipes, crafts, Pinterest mishaps, personal events, gardening tips, whatever! I like to read the stories from their everyday lives. That is what I want to share with you. My stories. This is a blog about a girl that just happens to run an etsy shop of the same name. Thanks for reading.

What the Heck is ETSY??

I love Etsy.com and I'm so excited about my new shop! What has really surprised me about starting this business is how many people ask me "What's Etsy?" So, let me answer that question for you. 

Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible for your impending addiction. You have been warned.....

Etsy.com is a marketplace for the most amazing handmade and vintage lovelies that you will ever see! It's like a craft show/antique store/vintage shop right in your own home! It's a great place to find original art and vintage items online. There's something for everyone at all price points. No auctions, thousands of vendors, and the site is incredibly easy to navigate.

Etsy isn't a new site either. They just celebrated their 7th birthday and they are even offering wedding registries! How awesome is that?? You can register for handmade and vintage housewares for wedding and shower gifts!

Here is a sampling of items you can find on Etsy.com

Buy it here.

Buy this print here

Buy this sweet dress here

Get this ring here

Buy this breathtaking painting here

Pick up this personalized wallet here

The list goes on and on! Go check it out and tell me how much you love it. Heck, tell everyone! Shout it from the rooftops, I am.

And visit my shop here while you're at it!
