Powell Street Market

Yesterday, I set up a booth next to a few other Etsy Team Columbus members in Powell, Ohio:

We were set up in the sun with no tent! It was so hot... we eventually moved to under a tree.
Here's my little table and set-up: It's way better than my set-up at my first show!
These are my promotional pins from PromosInASnap. I gave a lot of these away yesterday!

Featured Etsy Seller: Audzipan


I decided a while ago to give some special Etsy sellers a spotlight on my blog. So, I asked a few sellers if I could feature them on my blog and Audzipan kindly answered some of my questions about herself and her shop. Please check out the shop and give some love!!


Shop:
Favorite item: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12729183


Most popular item: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11007600

$1000 would go toward marketing and product development. I would love to offer a wider variety of items, and I am working on that right now.

Design:
I am inspired by everything around me. I love looking through treasuries and other shops on Etsy. Much of my inspiration also comes from animals. I just love animals.

I really don't have an overall favorite color combo. I love all colors, so my favorite changes from time to time. Right now, I would say I love brown and robin egg blue.

I enjoy my subscription to Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion magazine. It is my current favorite.

Honestly, I'm not much of a blog reader, but as a graphic designer I really get a kick out of Photoshop Disasters (http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com).

Life:
A normal Saturday for my husband and me usually includes sleeping in and a movie. Sometimes we go hiking, paintballing, or visiting friends and family, but it really is different every week.

My ideal vacation spot is Bora Bora, but I have never been there. I do love visiting California.

Unfortunately, my favorite food is ice cream. I also like frozen yogurt when I feel like trying to be healthier.

Slacker

I haven't posted in a while because I've been working on the new house:

I'm getting back in the game though, and I'm excited because I will be featuring Etsy sellers in the near future! I've found some great designers who should be fun to show off a little bit!

Cheers!
