Mini Me - A Shop Preview

I need to shoot some additional items but I keep getting lured outside by our newly beautiful weather. While I get motivated, here’s a little preview of what’s in the shop — with a special shout out to our Stumble Upon visitors!

Look, Boys! They're Magnets!

I love the purple-lavender hues in this little magnet set. And I’m having fun finding backgrounds for the photos. This is a happy change from my initial struggles with white balance. The colorful backgrounds are much more user friendly and forgiving!

Cote d'Azure Blues

Or at least that’s what these colors reminded me of, from visiting Villefranche-sur-Mer in the summers. And of course a bit of a play on words, since I’m blue that I’m not there!

This has been the busiest period in the Etsy shop since just after I opened it, which is quite gratifying. I hope everyone else’s sales are on an upswing, too!

Orange Starring Green

After a few months when life insisted I pay attention to things other than the Etsy shop — I'm baaaack! I thank my customers who have been purchasing magnet sets even in my blogging absence, including my Happy Animals, which I was happy to see find a good home. I’ve met such wonderful people in this process. The recent sales have also inspired me to begin adding some new items this week. Let’s start with the newest today, which I’m calling Green Starring Orange!

I also have some other items to add this week and next, including some pretty blue and pink bubbles, and even a spring bouquet of flowers. Stay tuned!

Carbon Fast for Lent: 2009

The Etsy shop has been quiet but steady. I haven’t been good about blogging but we continue to make quarterly donations to Carbonfund.org. I also wanted to mention an earth-friendly activity we're doing at my house for the second year now: the Carbon Fast for Lent. This was the brainchild of a group in England called Tearfund. The idea is to undertake a simple action each day during Lent, to reduce one's carbon footprint. The daily actions appear on Tearfund’s web site here. They also have an RSS feed, which I’m posting in this blog’s right sidebar. Or you can sign up for a daily email reminder (or download the full 40-day schedule as a PDF) on their site.

Here are four 30-second films to get us started!
