It's All in a Name

Do you ever come up with a cute and clever name, but you don't know what to do with it? I was just baking some cinnamon rolls and thought that it would be cute if I had named something "l m n o p" or "Q & A". So cute, right? Maybe? heh Well, I looked to see if they were taken on Etsy and this is what I found:




I'm tempted to message them both and just say, "Hey! Your shop name is so cute! Why don't you add something to sell?" :)

But, I'd totally be the pot calling the kettle black. I have 4 shops *gasp*, and two are momentarily empty:

Happy Place Design - all handmade accessories and upcycled vintage designs
Smally and Tally - the shop I share with my boyfriend to house our art prints
Stereotype - meant for all of my type-style accessories that I'm currently designing
Some Wood Say - a little hush hush project I'm working on that I hope to have up and running in the next couple of months

Why four shops, you ask? Because I'm a busy lady with a gazillion ideas that never end. I sew, design graphics, draw, spray paint, cut, glue, make jewelry, write, create, and recreate things all of the time. I gained a particular entrepreneurial gene from my father that I don't think will ever pass. I have a thousand ideas from day to day and I want to sell all of them and share them with the world. It's silly, I'm sure, but it's me. Even if I never make a sale, it's in my genes to put myself out there, and I'm completely okay with that.

Maybe this little post will give someone the strength to put themselves out there if they've been a little too shy to try. Or maybe "lmnop" and "QandA" will see this and will add some pieces to their shops. Sometimes all people really need is a little encouragement. :)

Never Stop Creating,

Eye Spy Etsy!


I just created my second Treasury, "Eye Spy", on Etsy!

I love it and want to buy everything in it! I'm pretty sure that this idea came to mind because I've been squinting and rubbing my sore eyes for weeks now... I'm way overdue for an eye exam. I need to get on that!

Click here to see the Treasury up close and please leave comments!

Maybe it will make it to the first page this time? Wish me luck! And now I'm off to look up eye doctors... eek!

Happy luck-wishing,
Kelli
