Featured Etsy Account: Corrieberry Pie

Young mother and create-r, Corrie, is the proprietor of one of the cutest Etsy shops I have had the pleasure of coming across. Her jewelry and accessories are not just beautiful, but I would go so far as to say, inspiring (which I need right now). I especially like her Vintage Garden Necklace and Portrait Necklace. The fact that she uses “found” items is right up my alley! And her prices are reasonable.

Corrie also has a blog under the same name: Corrieberry Pie

It’s all about choices

I have been struggling for inspiration recently. Between two deaths in my family, the departure of my best friend  and the loss of my camera I have let my blogging be last priority. Depression sets in. But thanks to a South Carolina truck stop I have seen a glimmer of light at the end of a long dark tunnel (Melodramatic). It has reminded me that “It’s all about choices”. With that in mind I have decided to make choices and set some goals. I choose to keep on keeping on. Here are my goals for this week:

1. Take inventory of all vintage items
2. Clean, measure and photograph items (after borrowing sister’s camera)
3. Google and research items
4. Prep my mailing area
5. Develop system for item pricing and postage pricing
6. Post items in my Thrift Circus Etsy store

I expect you to hold me accountable. Wish me luck!

Featured Etsy Account: Mazaizy Studio

I am constantly on Etsy looking for fun stuff. I like supporting artists and would rather buy a handmade item rather than something mass-produced. I have decided to feature a different Etsy shop each Thursday. Here is my choice for this week:  MAZAIZY STUDIO is run by Katya whose studio is in Moscow.

Mazaizy are cute Russian spirit rabbits. They live in urban environments and devote themselves to serve mankind by giving lots of love and affection to their owners. They are smart and warm, and they are looking for the one to love.

Katya focuses on the use of Russian folk patterns which give her dolls a unique look. Her smaller rabbits would be cute mementoes to give at weddings or most any celebration.
