Here's Something ...

If you can't already tell, I am currently in a huge blogging slump...
Haven't felt like writing anything.
Haven't had time to write anything other than school papers,
and thoughts are flying in & out my head so fast
I have not been able to catch them lately.

So sorry about that....

But here's an interesting picture! It's of antelope bounding across the prairie out West (most likely South Dakota.) It was really beautiful out there. That trip was what taught me that I actually do love traveling; I just didn't know it.
Not sure which one of us was holding the family camera on this one though, so the credit goes to "our general family group"! lol.
I pray God that you all are well and less busy as me!

"And the Results are Pouring in now..."

(c) heh

*There is something to be said for spell checking and looking over a post before posting it as final! If you saw this post before 6:00pm today (1/15/11) I deeply apologize for all the spelling errors!

I am really enjoying watching the results coming in on the polls on the side!
It looks like (so far) this is the consensus:

• I should either name my Etsy shop Ruffle Stuff(s) or Wren Row, to match this blog.

These two are good ideas actually! I liked Ruffle Stuffs and Wren Row the best too. Although I did wonder that no one cared for the other sweet name concoctions, i.e. 'Lovetopia' or 'Curioso' ? lol :)
Also, it was neat to finally get feedback on what exactly people would buy from me (or from Etsy sellers in general.) These were tops:

• sewn items (bags, pillows, purses, jackets, clothes, dresses, satchels, knitted/crocheted things, etc.
• paper "stuffs" as they call them: books, journals, organizational stuff, stationary, etc.

Those are my favorite things to make, so that's real handy. :) However, I did actually forget to put my *favorite* thing to make in that poll: miniatures. Yes, I love miniatures! specifically the 1/12 scale. I can't get enough of them, or making them. :)

Also, it looks like the most commonly agreed upon amount of money someone would be willing to spend at my shop/ on Etsy in general is:

• $15-$20

Hm, interesting! That's actually heartening, really. And it's a fair price for most of the wonderful things sold on Etsy, too! So, dear friends & readers, I would like to say thank you for voting! The feedback helps a bunch. :)

Here's to new starts in the new Year!

The Etsy Shop.... *dun-dun-dun-dun*

 Hey Ya'll!
[No, I'm not Southern one bit, but I like saying that sometimes!]
I have come to an impasse with my Etsy Shop, this one. I have had it for a while now, with varying levels of sales & success, and I'm just not feeling it the way it is anymore! I don't know what it is. I think it may be a combination of:

• the name ("Titmoss" is a fun name I came up with, but I've run into quite a few folks who aren't as psyched about it as I am...)
• the look & layout currently (I'm using the form header right now for heaven's sakes!)
• the content/items for sale (First I started with just antiques; then I moved to vintage clothing; then I tried artwork, nicknacks, and just little stuff in turn. It's not selling!)

I feel like I need a new shop Name, a new shop Look, and a new set of Merchandise!
Now, my valued readers & friends, can you help me? :)
Here's how:
Vote in the polls on the side bar & comment below! Let me know what you think would be:
~ a wonderful Etsy shop name 
~ what would love buy there most
~ and for how much (generally)

The fantastic thing is: your votes & comments WILL directly affect what I end up doing in the end! :) Of course I have the final say, and my own ideas still --yes. But I *do* really value feedback. ^_^
So, please vote up & comment up a storm!
Many thanks,
~Hannah <3
