I'm Back!

Well, sort of. I have the flower shop open for business because I brought those items with me. The memory board shop will be closed for a few more days. Our household goods will be delivered on Thursday and I hope to find my way to the memory boards by the weekend. Anyone want to bet on whether or not that will actually happen?

In the meantime, I have added a cool new item to the blog. Right over there on the right hand side is a new widget, courtesy of Craftcult. It shows you all the cool stuff in the shop and even has a "buy" button. Go ahead and click it. You know you want to!

Oh, I also have cool new graphics for the flower shop. I am loving!!!! I purchase the whole set from Bears Graphics on Etsy. I'm just waiting on one correction on the business cards and then I will send them off to Vistaprint in hopes of using them at an upcoming craft show.

A New Promotion

About a week ago I was asked to participate in a special promotion for the 4th of July, put on by Independent Artisans. They wanted to feature my Red, White and Blue Magnets and Hair Pins. How could I say no? LOL! Stop by their website, Twitter or Facebook page to check out all the fabulous artisans who are featured. This photo is one of my personal favorites!

Oh, and now all memory boards are 50% off. Stop by the shop and check them out. I will be closing that shop on July 1!

A Poll

I've decided that the Hold It! shop needs its own look. I'm applying to several fall craft shows and I think that shop needs the whole shebang to help it stand out and have folks remember me (that is the whole point in doing shows right?). But... I can't decide what I want. I had a great set picked out but the seller hasn't gotten back to me on changes. As an Etsy seller who prides herself in good customer service, I'm a little frustrated with that.

So, I need your help. Leave a comment with the number you think I should choose!

#1 Wild Things
#2 Film Noir
#3 Monochrome Damask

#4 Red Vines

#5 Girlie Swirly

Growing Pains!

Today I added a new line of products to the Hold It! shop... BROOCHES! I am very excited about this line as it will get my flowers into a different category in searches and therefore, more exposure. Each flower is approximately 2.5" in diameter. I am considering going to a larger size but won't do that until I can find a larger pin back to support the weight of the flower; cotton gets pretty heavy when you starch it a gazillion times. And as always, if you want to pay through someone other than PayPal, you can shop at 1000 Markets and use your Amazon account.








There is even more news! The Memories To You shop is still having a sale. All memory boards are now 40% off the original price! Some are reduced to nearly 50% off. My plan is to close that shop on July 1 so that I can get the leftover merchandise ready for the move. The flower shop will stay open because those items are small enough to go in the car with me.

New Markdowns!

The move date is getting closer and I still have tons of inventory on hand. So... all memory boards are marked down by at least 40%. Take advantage of the sale while you still can.

Moving Sale Gets Moving!

The "I Don't Want To Move All This Stuff" sale just got bigger! Now, all memory boards are marked 30% off the original price!

16x20 Originally $67.99 NOW $47.50
12x16 Originally $44.99 NOW $31.50
11x14 Originally $31.99 NOW $22.00
9x12 Originally $29.99 NOW $21.00
5x7 Originally $15.99 NOW $11.00

There is one little catch... I'm heading out on vacation this weekend so all orders placed between April 30 and May 8 will ship on May 10.

And The Winner Is...

The Puff Pastry Shop, who also happens to have a very cute shop on Etsy! You get to pick out any 11"x14" memory board from my shop. For all you first runners up, every memory board in the shop is marked down by 20% in anticipation of my move in June.
