All Buttoned Up Market

Do you love buttons? Have a button fetish? Then check out this fab market, All Buttoned Up, at the new 1000 Markets. There are so many clever and appealing items here using vintage and new buttons - for the home, to wear, cards and paper goods - you must check it out if you love buttons as much as I do.

I joined 1000 Markets this spring - it's a beautiful site for shopping handmade. I don't do enough promotion for them, and I'm trying to fix that. A bunch of us sellers have items with free shipping this month, connected with an Amazon promotion, so check out my shop and others. They take Amazon Payments, not Paypal, but doesn't everyone buy from Amazon these days? It's US-only, so overseas folk will have to buy from my Etsy shop, but many pieces from OTT on Etsy are on 1KM.

IKM is juried, which means that shops are vetted for quality and handmade standards. You won't see any resellers there!

Five Treasuries in One Day

Yom Kippur has just ended, so Happy New Year to everyone! I have been very busy this month; family obligations and work have kept me from posting much or making new pieces, which is unsettling. I have so many ideas for fall but no time in which to realize them!

Here I am doing some self-promotion again as a post, as I am featured in FIVE Treasuries today, an almost unheard of event (lately) for this shop. I love Fall on Etsy as there are so many gorgeous pieces to look at and covet from so many shops.

I'm posting four as I don't know what piece was chosen for the fifth Treasury - we don't get to see that info.

I was also a staff pick on 1000 Markets last week, and am still visible today on the page if you scroll down a bit. On the left side of the page, my Orange Juice Vitamin C Jade Necklace was chosen and has garnered many new views!

More Shameless Self-Promotion

I am a member of Charming Market at 1000 Markets, and today we are featured at Chic and Green, a cool design and shopping blog!

1000 Markets is a new juried website with the novel idea of having sellers belong to different markets, in theory making it easier for buyers to find items they're into by searching through theme shops - Steampunk, Bridal, Jewelry, Country, Beach Style, etc. I belong to a few different markets there, and Charming is for people who love love love charms in their jewelry.

A Little Bit of Promo-ing Here

I had a nice surprise tonight - I was in a Treasury that was on the Front Page of Etsy - and a really lovely one, too, curated by HeartFelt Vintage.

I am also a Spotlight artist on Shop N Blog. This blog is by Mem's Pocket Palette, who I got to know at 1000Markets, where we both have shops. Mem generously goes out of her way to feature fellow artists, something that has to happen more often here. If you love animals, there's another reason to visit Mem's blog! Mem is talented in many media and her shop is full of some simply stunning work!
