Etsy Stock Take - 2013 Week Three - Sunday Linky Party

Hi guys,

I'm dashing about like a mad lady after being immobilised by sickness for ages! I'm looking forward to seeing what you link up in the next few days. Can't stop! See you next week :)

There is a newish feature on the blog! Featured Etsy Stock Taker. Check it out, it's rather nice.

Please do get involved with promoting the Etsy Stock Take it a bit more in the coming weeks (pinning, tweeting, blogging, Etsy teams, you know the deal...) so that you get the best out of this exposure opportunity. I'm sure you can appreciate I won't have much time (moving from Germany to Holland and having a bit of a holiday in between)!

Shoppers of handmade stuff:

Scroll down for some more beautiful products made by some of my readers. Please visit their shops on Etsy and consider buying something! You'll be glad you did :)

Etsy Sellers:
Please, no holiday items, let's keep this a Christmas free zone!

Link up your items to get more exposure for your shop. You might be featured in the Best of the Week or Best of the Month features (and then you'll be tweeted and pinned!). Vintage is welcome too!

You have 2 options:

1. Bloggers:

Write a new post on your blog (telling us about your new items), mention the Etsy Stock Take and link back here so your readers get a chance to find the link up list (or add the button above).

Then link up using the Linky widget (where it says 'click here to enter') at the bottom of this post so we can find your blog.

2. Link up directly to your Etsy shop:  
Post a link that goes directly to your new items in Etsy using the Linky widget (where it says 'click here to enter') at the bottom of this post. You can put up as many as you want and we will see your images nice and big.

If you have problems with linking up, please let me know and I will give you a hand (my email).

Everyone:
It'd be lovely if you took a moment to go and check out some stuff that others post below - go shopping!

Ciao!

Katz :)

The Madness - Part One - Delft.

December was basically a pretty long road trip around Europe. Primarily it was planned to help us take care of various responsibilities we had while moving house from Hamburg, Germany to Delft, Netherlands.

Thankfully we ended up having some fun time too and I started Instragramming. I've been really looking forward to scrapbooking some of these pictures on Lifes Jewels!

We called this road trip The Madness.

The Madness, Part One, Stopping off in Delft:

Delft through the WestCord Hotel

Ikea Lamp Shades used to good effect at the WestCord Hotel, Delft

A drink under the old Delft market scales (can't remember how old they are, but we're talking hundreds of years!). Stadscafé De Waag.

Sunrise on the road, next stop Italy!

 The Madness part 2 coming soon...

Featured Etsy Stock Taker: ecoPaperie.

ecoPaperie

I'm Anita. I've loved stationery, PAPER!, pens, pencils, erasers and even fun bags for as long as I can remember. I saved my pennies and purchased my very first set of stationery in 2nd grade and because everything has sentimental value, I still have it....27 years later! My eye for catching all things beautiful turned into a dream hobby over a year ago. I put my creativity and attention to detail into practice after being encouraged by my good friend Ann. Eco-paperie came into existence when I rescued a pile of paper at work about to be tossed and crafted beautiful stationery and note cards that I gave away. Being an avid Etsy shopper, opening a store seemed the most natural avenue for me to join the ranks. Our on-line world definitely provides a level of ease, but I think you would agree that the art of a personal note, though almost non-existent these days, out-speaks the quick email. I know I have many things to learn in the world of hand crafting, but I love each and every one of my creations... as simplistic or articulate as they may be. Join me on my journey as I continue to grow in the world of paper, ink and eco-paperie.

I live in the burbs of Atlanta and moved here during my junior year of high school, leaving the Garden State where I spent a good portion of my life. Believe it or not, NJ was a slower pace of life than Atlanta, and although I may miss a "coffee" (spoken with the correct accent) and a bagel, Atlanta is now my home. I went to GT, studied Civil Engineering and somehow managed to graduate! My day job demands a different style of creativity, but I recharge and don't complain when my wonderful (new!) husband retreats to his game room and I escape to my world of paper. I have to give a shout to my hubsters - my biggest fan and the one I run to first with every new creation. We don't have any children (yet?), but I have two amazing nephews I'd love to claim. We enjoy traveling the world, frequenting our "hole in the walls" and attending North Point Community Church. We are grateful for good jobs, a cozy home and a family that loves us, but not in that order.

Thanks for taking a moment of your day to learn about me :-)

What's the Etsy Stock Take?

It's an opportunity for artisans with an Etsy shop is get more exposure. I believe in buying handmade and I would like to encourage others to do so more regularly. If you are looking for a great gift, the curated Best of the Month Etsy Stock Takes are a good place to start. If you are an Etsy shop owner, please get involved!

Would you like to be featured next? Contact me and we'll set it up.
