I rather fancy the idea of being an enterprising young
thing, so I have opened an online ‘art & paper products’ shop. Perhaps you
are familiar with Etsy? I know it has inhabited my consciousness for the last
few years, as the place to discover the most wonderful handmade goodies. So
that’s where I’m stationed now. Trying to fit in.
Also as a longtime intrepid doodler and maker of things, it seemed like the way to go. (plus, I really need a new pair of sandals, and beautiful birkenstocks aren’t cheap, hey?)
So I’m starting small, with things I know I can do well. I
have spent recent months sourcing the strongest, smoothest, loveliest
cardstock. Jabbing away at my
calculator, measuring envelopes and calculating shipping costs. Tightening up
designs and making new ones.
If you would like to support this venture by taking a look
around my store or ‘liking’ my facebook page (I know, look at me all down with
the kids), I would be entirely appreciative. I am told this is how these things
get going, afterall!
So I present to you: LouPaper- my shiny new shop. It will
remain pretty small while I get my sea legs. But check back regularly for new
additions!
(Thanks for the help, BigRudy!)
Brava, girl! Great job, and I LOVE the typewriter!
ReplyDeletesweet stuff! LOVE Big Rudy!!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh I love the typewriter too! And I can so relate to the measuring, and calculating, and sourcing! I have a small line of gift cards - but it took me sooo long to do, I've held off doing any more!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the name of your Etsy store :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous!! Terrific shop for terrific artwork!
ReplyDeleteThank you all very much! It's funny, the typewriter does seem to be getting the most attention. My expectations always differ so greatly from what people actually end up liking the most! Keeps me on my toes :) Linda....indeed, I was not prepared for how much time it would take to set up shop, but it's been a fun process!
ReplyDeleteAlso, if any of you have any suggestions or advice, I would gladly welcome it.
Congrats on your new venture! I've no doubt you will do well. I love the typewriter too..... and Rudy,of course! nancy
