The Surprises Continue...

I just finished a private Alchemy request from my good friend, ReFabulous, and as a consequence, a photo of the item showed up on the main Alchemy page under Recent Custom Creations! Free advertising! And let me tell you, it works. I noticed a spike in views and hearts, so hopefully that will lead to more sales!

Oh and here's a photo of the Alchemy request, which was larger scrubbies in a variety of colors:





I'm trying to also figure out why the last 2 orders I had were both from Europe (the order to France on Monday and today an order to Italy!!) What's different?? My only possible explanation is that I started a Dawanda site and they tracked me to Etsy (although I don't cross promote on those 2 sites). Is that even possible? Has anyone else come across something similar? Please share if you have...

2 Cool Surprises

The really nice thing about life is you never know when you will be surprised. Well, if you did know ahead of time, I guess it's not a surprise anymore.

Anyway, yesterday I was paging through the Etsy Gift Guides, and I found myself! Yay!!

And today I got an order from Paris. Not Paris, Texas. Not even Paris Hilton. Paris, France! How cool is that!

I posted new items yesterday. I've been working on new headbands and needle cases. I've also started lurking around Alchemy and placing bids on custom crochet items. Nothing has come of it yet, but I figure it doesn't hurt to get my shop out there. Crossing my fingers for another good surprise!
