1 Book, 2 Books, Red Book, Blue Book....

This shall be a post for my own personal gain!
Just warning you! ;)

I would like to asking my reading friends what are the top 3 books you've read & enjoyed this year?
The ones that you can think of first, and you enjoyed reading the most.

The reason I ask is because...

1. I'm a book worm! Bookworms crave more books! One or two is never enough...
2.  I'm on a challenge to read more books this years than I ever have before (way over 250 hopefully!)
3. I genuinely want to know what you guys like to read. :)

So, pretty please, tell me your book favorites in the comments, ya'll!
Or, if you have a Shelfari account like I do, you can just recommend the books right to me through that. :)

{I need this clock. I think it would help me keep track of my time better...}

"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
