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!

It might be time for a change when I start doing this.

Real Estate Moguls

Jacob and I became Dublin, Ohio real estate moguls today. Yayyyyy! I'm way more excited now than I was when looking for a house. Here are a couple of pictures from the online listing...

The front of the house actually photographs better in the winter because the tree doesn't block half of it!

This kitchen is sweet. I wasn't looking for fancy counters or cabinets but I won't argue against them!

I'll post more pictures in the future. I can't wait to move in and make the place ours.

Copper Beads from Scratch

My latest class project has been using up some copper sheet I've had in my toolbox for a while now! I decided to make beads and display them on sterling silver so the copper looks pretty high end. They're not perfect but I think that the end product is very elegant... what do you think?

I'm not planning on selling these but I might change my mind!

MollyStuff Collections

Inspired by Etsy Columbus Michelle's "Pimp Your Shop" seminar today, I reorganized my shop! I would like to narrow it down even more but for now I have 5 "collections". Sounds pretty serious, right? They're basically just themes I've found going on in my store. For now they all belong in one shop because... yeah... that's all I can handle! Here are the collections with a sample from each and a link to each one.
