Merry May Farm, I Trade Handmade, and More!

Announcing the new and improved, Merry May Farm!!


















So... I don't know if you remember but I talked a while back about how I was working on making some changes around here. Long story short- I have been working really hard over the past year or so at making changes in my life. I am working at figuring out what is important to me and how to put those things first- how to create a life I am passionate about. Well one of the things I really wanted to do was revamp my Etsy shop. I created it a loooong time ago- kind of on a whim- then neglected it since. So I've been working hard to fill it with things I love. As many of you, I really want to be able to create a life for myself through blogging, creating, and collecting- my favorite things.  I know its a long, tough road ahead but good things are worth fighting for.


One a similar note, I am proud and excited to announce that I jumped on the "I Trade Handmade" bandwagon. If you don't already know about it, "I Trade Handmade" was conceived over at Under Those Neon Lights (awesome blog) and offers a whole list of amazing crafters willing to trade their handmade goods! This is so fun and I am happy to be part of it for various reasons. In fact, I have a little challenge coming up later this week that should explain more.

P.S. If you find something in my shop you can't live without, be sure to include (in the message to the seller part) that you are my blog friend. I'll include a super special present for you : )

Workin' Hard

I've been working hard and fast at revamping my sad and lonely Etsy shop.

Looong story short-I made this headband right before a company Christmas party because I was lacking something fun to wear. Before the party I went to the annual Crafeteria at Francis, an amazing local boutique. Georgeanne, the amazingly smart and talented owner of Francis told me I should make some more to sell in her shop. Well, from there I expanded and asked my Butter Toast friends if I could sell them in their shop and they kindly obliged. I made an Etsy shop to get my work out there but over the past couple months have decided to give it a BIG face lift.

I am working hard at intorducing a new crop of vintage home goods to Merry May Farm! Here's a sneak peak : )




Do you have an Etsy shop? How did you get started and what are your goals for it?
