Okay, so it's Tuesday. It's been a busy week! I did a
craft show on Saturday, those always take a lot out of me. Sunday, I was inspired to email a columnist in one of the larger
newspapers in the area, whose column focuses a lot on local businesses and shopping local. I told him about the
Shop Local feature on Etsy, and provided a link. There are hundreds of crafters and artisans in our area with shops on Etsy, and we are just a part of shopping local as anyone else! At the end of my email to the columnist, I P.S.'ed that I have a
blog that focuses on free family events in the Piedmont Triad of NC. Well, the next morning, I
had a reply from the columnist. Not only did he add a permanent link to the Etsy Shop Local in his online column, he also added a link to my other blog! How exciting is that!
More good news for me, I had a convo this afternoon from an art gallery in a tourist-y town located in the mountains of NC. They've invited me as an artist to sell my work! This is my first invitation of the sort, and I'm doing the Hap-Hap-Happy Dance!!
Now onto Pounce! Monday, on this fine Tuesday evening. (Total aside, here it is, officially Autumn, and it's still 90° here in North Carolina. I am
so over this hot weather!)
The first new shop I pounced has original paintings by Marla Sullivan, and her work is so bright and colorful! I love it! She's only got four items in her shop right now, and I hope she keeps adding! This one is my favorite:
I also very much like First Rose.
I love me some good surrealism! I've just pounced on Mindcollective by ElonShartonBierig. I love art that makes me laugh! Sub Aquatic Surreal did just that!
I could ponder what he's pondering for a
very, very long time...
All the best to both new shops! Maybe
you'll be their first sale!
