Pink Saturday~New Look to Etsy Shop~


Pink Saturday one of my favorite days of the week. I love being able to share my pink pretties with you. I also enjoy going around and seeing what other Pinkies have on display. I want to thank Beverly at http://www.howsweetthesound.typepad.com for her commitment to keeping every Saturday Pretty in Pink!!! Make sure to stop by her blog where you can link to other participants!

I have had my etsy shop, http://www.sweetmemorymakingmom.etsy.com on vaction for awhile now. As many of you know, my husband and I have been working on our house so I hadn't had time to sew; but I have been busy sewing and am going to open up my shop this week. So for the reopening, "Grand Opening," I decided to give my shop a new look. So I bought this great banner and avatar from a fellow etsian. I also bought some of my business tags from her too. Tiffany at http://www.maxandbella.etsy.com custom made my banner, avatar, business tags, and return address stickers. She is a friendly and lovely lady. You will receive your product quickly and put together so pretty. Make sure to check out her shop. Below is my sweet lil' birdie avatar. Doesn't she look cute with her "PRETTY PINK" flower?

Since I wrote about one etsy shop, I figured I would tell you about another one. Denise's shop, http://www.deniseannette.etsy.com is full of her handmade Lampwork beads. Let me tell you, her stuff is whimsical and beautiful. I had the pleasure of selling and buying with her. Below are some of the beads I received from her. First are these sweet red and PINK strawberry beads. THey will make great toppers for my CuPcAkE pInCuShIoNs!!! And ofcourse, the next set of beads are cupcakes. I asked Denise if she could make them and she delivered! They are even cuter in person. I have already made some decorative pins for my pin cushions using these yummy sweet cupcakes. Denise too, is ships quickly and wraps everything safely and with such pretty touches. She is so nice and fun to work with. Make sure to stop by her etsy shop.

Thank you Ladies!

Etsy is a great place Kris.

Nan, Yes I do put them on my pin cushions. I actually turned several of the cupcakes beads into pins to put on my pin cushions. I am also looking to get some mice for my kitty cat pin cushions. Denise sent me two as extras and they are adorable.

Have a lovely warm pink day ladies. It is cold here and I am off to work 11am until 11:30pm.

pink hugs, Ellen
