Branching out

There have been a lot of threads recently suggesting that Etsy sales are down and that Summer is a quiet time... Well apparently that hasn't stopped our HOSTies from coming up with new ideas and branching out, since three of our members have just opened up new shops!! We wanted to showcase them here so that our readers can head off and check them out:

Maura of http://Mavalili27.etsy.com has just opened http://LiliMava.etsy.com. The new shop will soon be filled with even more super crafty items and accessories, all intended to fire up your imagination and add the finishing touches to your projects!

If you like your cushions with a little 'pizzazz', then you need to head along to Terra's - of http://ArretsPlace.etsy.com - new shop http://Zzazz.etsy.com for beautifully handmade roll-cushion covers. There are lovely fabrics to choose from, and many more on the way!

Finally, Monique of http://threemusesart.etsy.com has just opened up http://craftytools.etsy.com - another shop of crafting goodies and embellishments, including super pre-cut ACEO blanks for all you budding artists out there.

So, we hope you'll add these newcomers to your favourites and visit regularly! We also want to wish our girls the best of luck with these new ventures, and hope the sales fairy will take them to her heart soon :)
