A HUGE scare and a HUGE thank you...

I am so very thankful for our local volunteer fire company and want to shout it from the roof tops (maybe I should have borrowed their amazing ladder while they were here!). We had quite a scare when today when our fireplace started pushing smoke into our house instead of out! I feel so lucky that no one was home...I had even take my rescue pup to the store with me at the time.
Coming home to a smoked filled house was quite startling, but my neighbor had called to say something seemed amiss with the black smoke coming from the chimney. Everyone is safe now and the volunteer firefighter's bellies are now full of homebaked goodies.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Safe and sound...

Heartsy is going away!!!!!!!!!!

Eeeek!!!!!!!!!!!! Heartsy is going away and I am completely heartbroken. While I was not a fan of it as a seller per say (I did not like being forced to offer over 50% off my designs), I really liked it as a buyer.

So, in the spirit of promoting sales for my fellow artisans, I have decided to pick off (sort of) where they left off.

This is not a replacement exactly, but a temporary bandaid...come check out this new site kicking off soon. The goal is to work with shops/artisans and allow them to decide the deal that works best for their item and the customer.

Etsy Shop Feature - KnittingNY

A super huge thank you to Stacy of KnittyNY for contacting us to make a donation! Please take a moment to learn more about her shop and her lovely creations!

How long have you been crafting?I've been crafting for for about 20 years; I started out cross-stitching and then switched to knitting about 3 years ago. It's a lot of fun, I love to create and have fun with different patterns!

When did you turn your hobby into a business?I started my Etsy shop in June, this is my first try at doing my hobby as a business. :*)

What is your favorite Etsy shop?

It's difficult to choose just one Etsy shop as my favorite but I can narrow it down to two - The first one is VillaCollezione, which is a vintage shop that I love to browse since she's always got very funky, unique things for sale. My second one is HandicraftsByKaren which is a crochet shop and the seller just happens to be my mom. ;*)

How has Breast Cancer affected your life?
I work part-time in a small local pharmacy (it's like one of those old 'mom & pop' type pharmacies) and I've met so many brave, wonderful customers who currently have or they've battled breast cancer. This is a small town so I know my customers well and it does affect me when I hear their sad news and listen to their struggles. But the best part of my job is when these same women come in strong and healthy and tell me that, after struggling with chemo and everything else, they are free and clear of the cancer. I love to see their smiles when they tell me the good news.

HUGS!
Julie
