GOING WHOLESALE/DROP SHIPPING ON EBAY!

Good morning readers! I have some news for you of something new that has been rising up and that is I've just started working with my first wholesale drop ship company and am opening up a shop on Ebay. This is a move that I have always thought about but didn't know where to go to find a company that would not only I could get my items from but also would send them to the customers as well. Well you never know how it will go until you give it a try and I guess everything happens for a reason! I am putting the creating on the sidelines for awhile and give this a spin to see if this was meant to be or not. Please come to Ebay and checkout what I have just put on. Later tonight my name will become a shop with all my items together and organized like any other shop..with a list of items I'll be carrying, policies and a store front! (Still don't know though because I've never had an Ebay store before!) Now I have my next request...please come in and see what I have available. Most of it is home decor, but I also have toys, electronics and many other categories that would make perfect gifts for the holidays! Everything else is staying put...Etsy and the antique store...but just need to give this highest priority until I see if this will go for me or not. The items are great, the company I'm working for works hard to have happy customers and provide quality items and has received an A+ rating with the BBB! Meaning this is a topnotch wholesale/dropship company that care about its customers and providing a top notch service to all! It just all feels right!

Be Careful What you Wish For!

I just a quick note: I bought some polyester blend fabric yesterday and completed 4-6 Infinity Scarves this morning! I will be posting these soon, along with the remainder of my teacup pincushions, and will be my lining my shop shelves within the next few days. Be watching my shop for these incoming goodies! Have a great day!

Letting You Know of Something New that I will Be Working On!

Good evening readers! I just thought of this idea because I have just became aware of a new scarf that is taking the fashion shops by storm! I have just noticed a new type of scarf out on the market and I am personally taking a liking to these new arrivals....they are called Infinity Scarves! These are long tube type scarves that are intending to be wrapped around your neck 1-3 times and can be worn even at work and will not interfere with your work, or get caught in machinery! You are beginning to see them EVERYWHERE and frankly I LOVE them! I don't have one myself...but am looking into making some of these trendy scarves to be a new project that I will be tackling soon and will add them into my shop once I get the first few completed. These are very attractive and versitile extra long scarves that are made with a lightweight fabric, hardy fabric or can be knitted or crotcheted! They can be made for any temperatures and can be made for any season! Depending on how many loops you give them you can get a different look and feel to any outfit you wear. They are made to dress up or dress down and would be the accessory you need if you love to change you look on a dime! I am so excited about this new finding and will get to this just as soon as I get the fabric to complete them...so be watching for this new addition to be added to my Etsy shop soon!

Please forgive my Mistake!

Just a quick note. I am new to the PAFA Team/Group and was not aware until recently that when looking for creations made by the artists in the Primtive and Folk Artist Etsy Team you MUST put pafa team in your search regardless of what the section of Etsy you are searching...All items, Supplies, Handmades..etc. Please take note of this when looking for items from this team! Thank you!

Teacup Pincushions have now arrived in my Etsy shop!

Good morning everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I have started listing the teacup pincushions into my Etsy shop and have more to go so keep watch. Some are rusty tin top pincushions as well but promise there will be quite a selection. Come in today and look them over...there may be one there that would look lovely on a hutch or shelf that not only is a GREAT decoration but a much needed sewer's tool! Need a gift that is not just whimsical but serves an important purpose? A teacup pincushion may be what you are looking for! Want something that is pretty to look at and can be put anywhere? How about something that not only does the job of holding your pins but sharpens them every time it is used? How about it not only keeps your pins off the floor but holds your small tools in one place while you are at work? (Well maybe the rusty tin top can't hold your items but you have to admit they do keep the needles off the floor AND sharpen your needles at the same time!) If you said yes to any, or all of these questions, go to my shop today and consider purchasing a teacup/or rusty top pincushion! Your family will thank you!

Feel free to browse if you are in the fall mood and ready to change your decor. from summer to fall very soon. All you have to do is go to the Etsy site and put a designated set of letters in the search, that will round up everything that is to be taking place in this celebration from the PAFA members, and collect them into one large list of items. It is that simple! I do not currently have the designated letters yet....but will pass them onto you when they become available! (These letters will not be available to me until the celebration is about to begin....so I will not be able to give them to you much before Aug. 28th.) Good things happen to those that wait and this will be no different. Be watching and I will post is right here... those special letters that will find this celebration for you once I have received them myself! Thanks for your patience!

I intend to take part in this celebration and each of us can provide 10 items, I have my 10, to be part of this. I would assume the number of creations will be many so don't miss this one. I will be back and fill in the blanks for you so you too can view what these great artists have been working on! I promise you ...it is NOT a waste of time and will a be a fall wonderland for any country, primitive, antique enthusiast out there!

I also am working on teacup pincushions and have some beautiful cup and saucer pincushions that I will be posting soon! Are you at a loss of where to put your pins? Are you tired of having your feet finding the pins that fall on the floor or sticking them in the seats of your chairs until a better place is found? Does your pet manage to find them before you do? Has your dog thought his name has changed to "Pincusion" , "Pin Holder" or "Needle Keeper"? I'll have available a number of decorative/handmade pincushions available for the sewer in your life very soon in my shop and keep your friends, family and pets safe! Be watching for this addition!

I also have listed two new Annie dolls....a nurse with bear patient Annie and a Annie and Hoot Owl doll. I hope you enjoy them and be looking for more new additions soon!

First Four Little Girls Waiting to be Added to my Etsy Shop Nov. 1st!

Good morning all! I just wanted to have you meet the first four gals that will go into my shop November 1st. There is Annie,Bella,Tiffany and Bethany. These will be a few of the first items that I will stock my shop with when I'm back open and functioning to the fullest again. Until then the sale will contine and enjoy the savings. Some of these items will go back into the normal stash and the rest will be put in a sales bin for quick sales as of November 1st so be aware and get what you want for the prices listed until the date noted and then things will begin to change. Enjoy and have a great day!

Last Chance To Stock for Christmas .....

Good morning all! How have you been? I hope everyone is doing fine! I just wanted to take this time to remind you that my sale is continuing on Etsy and will be around for about another week! I have just reduced, my already low prices and did it one last time for anyone that would like to purchase something from my shop I do urge you to do so soon for I plan to have my shelves unstocked, and my shop dormant ,in about another week making it October 2nd! I said I needed: 1) a much needed break from the hectic life I have been living 2) a fair amount of time to regroup and learn some new skills 3) to clean out my shop and bring in a fresh inventory 4) come back refreshed and hopefully have a new plan to meet my customer's needs. I will continue my blog when I have announcements of new happenings, my progress and to just check in with my readers...so not to fear I will be in touch with you to let you know as things are happening and tell you the latest news concerning how things are going.

Well so far my relaxation has consisted of trying a quilt and have one done that will measure 30"x 40" ,which is not that large but is good for a first timer. I will come back with pictures to show you what I've been doing! I'd like to try another of the same style, but bigger, and give a quilt pillow a try. (So much for kicking up my heels and resting! Makes me wonder if I even know what doing that is all about!) Now that I see that this skill doesn't involve time travel, jumping from heights, or eating intestines I see that this dream of being able to quilt is possible and plan to get something that I will do and put aside to put into my "tweeked" Etsy shop! I have some great patterns for dolls I would love to try and may see about making wreaths. First comes some much needed R&R! I just wanted to let you know that I'm still around and not letting the skills I have grow mold and rot!

Well why was I here in the first place?LOL Ohhh that's right....Come see my shop today and enjoy my last week with Etsy! Thank you to all that have made purchases! You have all been so GREAT! I hope you are enjoying your creations and they have filled Christmas gifts, are selling as inventory in your businesses, or are just pleasing to look at in a corner of your home and make you smile every time you pass by! If you want to purchase more I have downed my prices on almost everything in my shop and you can even save more if you buy within the next week! Have a great day everyone and thanks for coming in and reading my post!

Ok...What is going on with my Business?

Hello everyone! How are you today? It is getting a chill in the air here in Pa and the feel for Fall is definitely here now! I can hardly believe that Sept. is half over!

First of all I would like to thank all of my followers, from facebook to twitter and my devoted readers. My lovely/supportive artistic friends that I have gotten to know through my Ebay and Etsy groups and my wonderful customers during this time of working on "closing" my Etsy shop! I can't thank you enough! I promised that I would explain myself so people will know what is going on and what my plans are for the future.

What prompted me to work on closing my shop in the beginning was the lack of time for creation. Not being able to come out with new items has sent me into a panic and find it nothing short of frustrating that this isn't possible! It has gone on all Spring and Summer and now it is Fall and time seems to be something that I seriously am lacking right now. I thought a break could let me refresh and regroup to come up with new ideas and expand my skills. One skill that I have been wanting to learn was how to make a rag quilt and bags. I thought about this for about a year now ...but need time to work on some projects so that I can study how this is done. I would also like to look into making wall quilts, table runners, placemats and pillows. This is going to take some time to study and then practice this to be able to create things that people would be interested in. To say that I will not be creating any dolls, ornies, lamps or items that I have been known to sell on Etsy I would be fooling myself! I would just wish to get rid of my current inventory and bring in new items. These were skills that I taught myself to do about 10 or more years ago and will never lose my interest or passion to continue this line of art!


To say that I officially will be "closing" my shop in Etsy ....never to return...would be not the actual happening! I plan to take an extended break to get myself together, learn some new skills and hopefully I'll be back with more to offer customers! My banner will stay where it is, my heartings will not be touched and all the information about my shop will not move! I will leave an openning announcement when I get ready to stock my shelves again and reopen. I will also post it here and keep in touch with the people that are interested in what I will have to offer.


Please be patient with me as I take on a new journey! I will make posts here as something interesting happens or ...I've finished a new skill and made something of interest! I will also post it on facebook and twitter. For now I will be keeping up the posts on facebook of new arrivals at the Red Rose Co-op store and keep you informed what is going on there! Keep smiling all and I shall see you again!
