I Took The Plunge…
Posted: July 6, 2006 Filed under: Sewing 43 Comments »…and opened my own Etsy shop.
Currently I’m offering handbags, tote bags, and tissue holders. In the future, I hope to have a wider range of accessories.
To celebrate my store opening, I’m holding a raffle for the three tissue holders pictured above! All you have to do is leave a comment sharing one interesting or funny fact about yourself, and I’ll randomly pick three winners. Easy peasy, right? Raffle closes on Sunday, July 9th at midnight Pacific Time, and I will announce the winners the following day.
