Thank You For Some Thrilling Milestones

We had something thrilling happen recently--our 200th Etsy sale. It was only late June that we decided to really put a full-time, daily push on Etsy success. At that time, we were looking forward eagerly to our 20th sale. I just can't believe the rate at which we've grown, and I can't express to everyone who has bought something from us how grateful we are.

Another goal that I had in June was to get into at least three brick and mortars--and we're now in more than 20 (I need to update our list at left). Again, this is all because of the wonderful customers and friends that we've gained since the summer, and I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!!

Another Post About My Treasury Addiction

In an obvious attempt to enable my problem, EtsyLabs has begun posting challenges to design front-page treasuries around a theme. Since they aren't making the front page (sob), I thought I'd share a couple of my entries here:

Housewarming Gifts:

Gifts for Girls, 8-11:

Friday Fandango - Bag Lust

Here are some of my recent favorite Etsy bags--there seems to be a nature theme running, but that was not intentional...

Hollyhawk's leather Birdwatching pouch

Glossy Cactus Clutch by bonspielcreation

Wool Felt Cat Applique Wallet by bubbledog

The Snotty Bird Bag by littleoddforest

Butterfingers laptop wallet by workingclassheroes

And, just because I love her stuff so much, one more from Hollyhawk --leather Squid pouch

MOO Sale! Yay!

We are completely addicted to our Moo cards--the little mini-business cards made from your own Flickr images. We use them as necklace tages, as well as regular old business cards. We've already run through two sets, so I was thrilled to see that they are having a birthday sale--25% Off all Mini Cards, using code BIRTHDAYMOO. I just ordered two more sets!

I then decided to use my savings to buy one of splatgirl's adorable Moo Pockets, so I can tote them around in style.

New Stuff - Earrings Edition

I've been making a new type of earring--collaged copper and silver disks on long kidney earwires. I've been loving these earwires for months, but had troule coming up with just the right design for them:

ACEOs

Since my love of all thing teeny tiny is no secret, I'm kind of surprised that it's taken me so long to get into ACEOs--Artist Cards, Editions and Originals. In case you're not familiar with them, they're little trading-card size artworks, which is just too fun. I've painted a bunch lately, and posted a few in my byDillon shop:

Tuesday...Tizzy?

My glorious plan to post some Etsy favorites every Friday hit a snag, but since I'm back on the horse now, I figured I'd give it another go. So please to enjoy the Tuesday Tizzy, proud successor to the Friday Fandango.

Today I'm going to show off some sweet shyness:
