Hello! This past week has been manic as I decided subconsciously to say yes to all the things and as such my schedule skyrocketed. Luckily for my sanity, all of my new ventures did not pan out so this week will be a bit quieter. But, I do have an exciting new venture to share with y'all! I've opened an Etsy shop (well the opening of the shop isn't terribly new, but putting stuff in it is!) and have listed my first piece, the one pictured on the left! It's a little craft I recently started doing and thought I would give Etsy a go-- I have several really cool pieces I'm working on currently (including one featuring a TARDIS) and I can't wait to list them.
I've tried selling art before on Etsy to mitigated success. If it turns out that no one wants to buy my art then I already have some friends in mind to gift them to. :)
On to the books! Oo...I wonder if I could do some book inspired wire art? Any idea/suggestions?
I've had two more Netgallery wishes get granted! This Side of Murder is by one of my favorite murder mystery authors and The Beautiful Ones looked too interesting to pass up.

That's about it! What about you? Do you/have you ever had an Etsy store? How did it work out for you?
Good luck with the Etsy shop! I don't really know how that works, but I hope you are able to get some good advice on how to proceed.

Good luck with your Etsy shop! I love Etsy, I always find cute stuff on there.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah, isn't it such a cool website?
DeleteI hope you'll have good luck with the Etsy shop, however it can be tough to get into since everyone sells something on there now. We once had an Etsy shop too, but it didn't work too well. But a TARDIS! That is cool :)
ReplyDeleteI have also had an extremely busy week, maybe even too busy :D I'll be glad to (hopefully?) stay in more next week.
Have a great time reading, and selling on Etsy :)
Thanks! Yeah, there are so many cool things on Etsy I have my fingers crossed my little art stands out.
DeleteGood luck with your shop! I love to shop on Etsy (I don't run my own shop). You've reminded me I need to start thinking of Christmas presents . . .
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of your new books, especially This Side of Murder. I hope you enjoy both of them.
Have a great week!
Thanks! Yeah it's such a cool place for personalized gifts. I know, I can't wait to start This Side of Murder!
DeleteGood luck with your Etsy shop! And I love that cover of This Side of Murder.
ReplyDeleteNice review of Eight Hundred Grapes too.
Thank you! I also love the cover for This Side of Murder :)
DeleteGood luck with your Etsy shop! I love the picture and will have to go check it out! I've got to start Wishing for things on NetGalley. I occasionally do but more often than not I don't. I've been really wanting to try Anna Lee Huber. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :D I love Anna Lee Huber-- you should definitely check out The Anatomist's Wife, I really loved that series!
DeleteYay for new projects! I'll have to go check it out. Good luck!
