Fremont Farmer's Market

This weekend, a few fellow Etsy sellers will be displaying their goods at a booth during the Fremont Farmer's Market. I plan on going to give them some support and to scope it out for next time. I'd love to participate this weekend, but I'm just not prepared. While I have the inventory, I don't have the proper marketing items that would make it worth while. I have to have my business cards redone with the Etsy site address and it would be great to have a postcard or something to hand out that has a sample of the work on our site.

Anyhow, if you live in the Seattle area, stop by the booth! There are some very talented people and you won't be disappointed. Besides, it looks like lots of fun!

Here's one of the sellers that plans on being there. I love the designs and photos of Wiretree.

Merging

So, I'm working on merging my two websites. I am going to include all items on both sites, but send everyone to the Etsy site to buy. I think this will help me stay more organized and I'll be able to include more items on each site.

I started this with the Tea Garden Memory Quilt. I listed it on Etsy and I put a link on the World of Whimm site. I love this quilt... and the idea of a memory quilt. The quilt can be given as is or it can be signed by friends and family with well wishes. Perfect for a new baby or new couple.

I am looking forward to making more of these. I imagine them being a great activity at a child's birthday party... and a wonderful keepsake. What kid wouldn't like a constant reminder of how important he is to others. Or a great end of the season coaches gift... even a teacher gift! Possibilities are endless... and it is one-of-a-kind!

Unlike other items, we will take custom orders for these. If you are interested in a custom memory quilt, please contact me through Etsy or send me an email.

How cool is this?

On Etsy again promoting my shop and checking out others... I came across this one. I think it's pretty cool. View Masters are timeless!

Dancing Daisy!

So, I finally finished the Daisy Garden Pixie skirt and tiara I've been working on. I just started it yesterday or the day before, but I was so inspired that I have been working on it every chance I get. I love it and my daughter likes it too!

I thought I was making it a little smaller than the Tree Pixie so it would fit my daughter and I could get some pictures of it on her. But it wasn't meant to be. It seemed like it fit a little better until she got excited, sucked in her tummy and ran right out of it when it dropped to the floor! But I had a hard time putting it away because she didn't believe it didn't fit her. Maybe I'll layer her in some extra clothes and try again.

Anyhow, let me know what you think.
