Etsy Texas Crafters 1st Monday SALE!!!

It's the 1st Monday of October and time for Etsy Texas Crafters 1st Monday sale!!!

Everything in my shop is 10% off all day today until 12 midnight (1am etsy time).

There are over 80 shops participating this month. Check out our forum thread for all participating shops.

Now is a great time to get great prices for Christmas!

My new pendants make great stocking stuffers for the girls/tweens in your life!

New Store Coming SOON!

I've been working for awhile now on opening a second etsy shop. I have a whole new line of jewelry that I've made and I just don't feel like it fits into Handmade Whimzy. My new line is very romantic. So I wanted to create a place just for it. I'm in the process now of opening the shop and I'll post all the info just as soon as I can.

Etsy Texas Crafters has been accepted to MakerFaire!

Our group, Etsy Texas Crafters, has been accepted to Maker Faire which is taking place in Austin, Texas on October 18 and 19. Our booth will be a make booth, meaning you can stop by and learn how to make something. We will also be passing out "goody bags" with team members business cards and coupons. Signing up to receive our team newsletter will get you a bag with team samples and other goodies. I wish I could be there to help that weekend because it really sounds like fun.

Check out our Maker Faire Page here.

And as always, you can search "teametsytx" on etsy.com to find all the great listings for members of our talented group!

My new tween line has come to etsy!

I've finally started listing my new tween line of jewelry. I've listed several heart shaped wooden pendants and just today, started listing my new dangly earrings (but not tooooo dangly - just perfect for girls, tweens and young teens). The pendants are not the scrabble tile pendants that have become so popular on etsy. I'm trying to do something alittle different and have different shapes. Right now I have circles and hearts but I'm hoping to add stars and squares.

Here are the just listed today pics!

I got a TREASURY on etsy!

I can't believe it. They are so hard to get now because there are always so many. Click here to check it out!

I based it on the devastation left by Hurricane Ike and other past hurricanes. Please click the pics and leave comments. I'd love to hear what you have to say!
