Etsy Front Page

This treasury made the front page of Etsy today. When I saw that my shop views were in the thousands rather than the hundreds, I figured something was up. Thanks to Andrea for making such a great treasury and including me!

Front Page Times Two!

So, I was on the front page of Etsy TWICE in one day, early this morning:

In this treasury:

Then immediately after in this one:
They showed at around 4 and 5 am central time, so I missed them, but friends let me know. What a fun thing to wake up to!

New Pottery!

Whoohoo! I finally got a kiln finished, and here are some of what I pulled out:

There are lots more, too! I put some in last night, and the rest I will be adding to my shop over the next week or so. Yay!

Features and Freebies!

This week has been a great one for my Etsy shop. First, a treasury I put together was featured on the launch page of Craftcult.

Ok, it showed up at 2:30 AM my time, but I am sure the folks in Australia loved it.

Next, one of my items was featured on the Mind Body Spirit Marketplace Fanpage and had a sidebar on their blog. (You can still see the hearth they featured- just scroll down a bit- and while you are there, give me a 'like'!)

Then a treasury one of my rock boxes was in was on the front page of Etsy.com yesterday at 10 am central time. I actually got to see it! So much fun!

To top it off, the weather finally got warm enough and dry enough for me to plant a few things in my garden. It has been sitting ready for days, but the weather hasn't cooperated. What a

wonderful, truly grounding way to finish the week. (sorry for the pun).

Because I have had such a great week, I think I should share the joy! Remember the steampunk and rabbit bowls from last week's post? Well, I think one of them would look nice at YOUR house, don't you?

Just leave a comment below before tomorrow, midnight central time. On Tuesday morning I will choose a commenter at random and they get the bowl of their choice.

In your comment tell my which

bowl you like if you win, and how to contact you (an etsy name, facebook, blog, or twitter).

Also, if anything good has happened to you lately, I would love to hear and share your joy too!

I am going to be featured on Mind Body Spirit Marketplace

the Facebook page for the Mind Body Spirit Marketplace.

I have been trying to get decals to work, and finally think I've got a couple of glazes that will work nicely. Here are some photos of the nicest tries so far.

I like the vintage images, and I love that I can make a sort of collage on the pottery with these. Not only that, but I can manipulate images or draw my own before creating them as decals so the possibilities are endless.

I especially like the Steampunk bowl.

Eating oatmeal moves to a whole new

level in a well steamy bowl!
