Downtown Country Fair Oct. 7, 2012

Festival and Craft Fair Announcement!
This Sunday, Oct. 7, The Willimantic Food Co-op will be hosting their annual "Downtown Country Fair" in their wonderful and spacious parking lot! Spiders Secrets will of course be there with many other eco and vegan-friendly vendors and crafters. The food co-op will be open and they always are serving up yummy concoctions so you can feast while you shop! I was a vendor last year and had a blast-the musical line up is expected to be as fun ans lively as last year. Children and hippie friendly!!!

I will be giving away free prizes for any hot pink gumball you can coax out of the gumball machine. Only 25 cents! Also, look for an even more colorful and elaborate display of my booth than ever before :)! Also...Halloween treats, lots of new jewelry and as usual, all the photography you can handle. Hope to see you there!

Breaking the Ice: My first sale on Etsy!

Oh joy! I've patiently waited, and after three short months: finally a sale on Etsy! I say a short three months, because although I was a bit envious of those Etsians who boasted their first sale within the first week, my rational brain realized that sales might NOT come that easily! Instead, I occupied my time by increasing my vintage inventory (via yard sales and auction houses), making jewelry (in my Willimantic studio) and of course photographing it all with steady fervor. My goal had been to add three items per day. However; although I can aim hi, it is quite another to get me to shoot! As of this post I am amending my aforementioned goal to adding one item per day, with an end result of 7 items per week. If I stay true to this goal, my shop will have a total of 168 items come 2013! My research of successful Etsy shops has claimed a full shop is indeed more sale savvy.
