3 Sales Away...





From 300!

Wow. I started my Etsy shop in March of last year, but I didn't really start listing things until last October...so this month marks the one year selling anniversary for me. I think 300 is pretty damn awesome.

I use to stalk Rachel Austin and Ashely G's shops...just to see how they did things. I was totally blown away with Rachel Austin's shop, and how she reached 300+ sales. She's at 869 now...and well, Ashley G is one of Etsy's top sellers. Maybe I'll get there...someday :)

Anyway, my 300th sale will of course get their order stuffed with lots of goodies!

I am still working on my paintings today. Not a lot of new news there. I did paint the skirt and the shoes in the one painting, and I am rally pleased with them. I'm thinking that I will post them on Etsy, next week. I am really curious as to how people will respond to them. I am not really sure what kind of price to put on them. They will definitely be priced above what I normally price my paintings at. Pricing is so weird to me sometimes...a year on Etsy and I still don't know how to price my work...
Anyway, look for them in my shop next week :)

Someone bought one of my typewriter illustrations yesterday, and he sent me a link to a portable typewriter forum! How cool. He sent me his blog/website too, and he has an amazing collection of typewriters...very cool.

Lets see...what else is new in my world...not too much...oh!
There is going to be another Boston Terrier meet up in a few weeks, and I think it's a Halloween themed one!! Eeeee!!!! BT's in costumes?! I'm going to take a million pictures...and post them all here. :)

Alright, back to work. Hope everyone is having a good Thursday.

Papercuts and Gluesticks!


I am part of a part of a group show
Papercuts and Gluesticks Gallery in Rocky River, Ohip last month and part of this month, and I wanted to post some pictures of it. Kari, the owner is a lovely person and both she and her husband spent many long hours getting this space fixed up and ready as a gallery.

They did a beautiful job. I really would like to visit sometime soon. From the pictures it just looks beautiful, and I am sure it is in person as well.

The show looks amazing as well. All of the artists that are in it are amazing. I am so proud and happy to have art hanging in the same space as Michelle Moode, Rachel Austin, Danita, and the list goes on...go visit her blog! PapercutsandGluesticks.

You can contact her here:
20119 Lake Road
Rocky River, OH 44116
Telephone: 440.799.4344


So if you're in the Rocky River, Ohio area stop in and take a peek!

on a side note...we woke up this morning to discover that Chloe has developed cherry eye in both her eyes. I guess it doesn't hurt, but she will need surgery. Unfortunately it's very costly and we aren't really sure how we can afford it...but if you would like to donate to her fund I added a little donate button on my page up at the top. We don't know how much it's going to cost exactly, but I don't think it's going to be cheap.

Anyway, it's almost Friday!
So happy Thursday!!
