Iowa Hawkeyes

I just listed one of three Iowa Hawkeye bracelets that I've made over the last couple weeks. For those who don't know, my husband is in medical school at the University of Iowa. :) These three bracelets are going to get me to 100 listings! I'll list the other two later on this week. Here's the one that went up today:


There are some other very nice Hawkeye items on Etsy as well! Here are a few of my favorites:

January Top Droppers

I was out of town this weekend so I'm a little behind getting this up. January was my first month on Entrecard. I am very grateful for all of my Top Droppers as well as all of the other people I've met via Entrecard who now regularly check in with my blog. Your support means a lot to me. I am often frustrated by how much time I spent promoting and how few sales I've gotten on Etsy, especially when I'm doing something that Entrecard that takes more than a little time each day. But I know that I am continuing to increase my fan base and blog readers. I trust that in my time my sales will increase as well. I am enjoying discovering new interesting blogs and fellow Etsy sellers through Entrecard. I am planning to continue to use it at this point.

Here are the Top 10:
1) time2cre8
2) BeadedTail
3) angelrhona
4) Three Fates Design - Beaded Jewelry
5) The Sewing Mom
6) A Rose by Name
7) Mu-Yin Jewelry
8) Ruth's Creations
9) Fire and Glass-Sweetwater Designs
10) Deronda

Thank you so much everyone!
