This post is a bit overdue and may border on shame-less self promotion, but if you are following this book blog, then you are probably familiar with my other life as well (www.lindasotherlife.com). As a retirement gift, I was given this how-to book by a dear friend who knew of my intention to open an Etsy shop. I have spent a good bit of time this fall sewing and sewing and designing in preparation for the grand opening which took place on October 26th.
If you can't wait until the end of this post - you can hurry on over to http://www.etsy.com/shop/LindasOtherLife.
I have been doing a lot of sewing with oilcloth and chalk cloth. I'm particularly proud of the reversible chalk cloth table runners I've been making.
Label dishes, dips, drinks - let guests be creative!
I also had a brain storm and came up with these Dear Santa placemats with a chalk cloth slate for Christmas Eve milk-and-cookies notes to Santa or those ever-changing wish lists.
So - shameless self-promotion aside - this book is the best resource for anyone interested in opening an Etsy shop. There are so many details I would not have thought of - having a separate email address for your shop, creating an appealing shop banner, wrapping and packaging hints. I keep referencing it and so far, the ideas have been very beneficial.
