New Line of crafts for business

I have not wrote here for a while. So I decided it was time to do so tonight. This past month I started a new line of distressed, shabby, cottage chic wall crosses. I buy the wood unfinished crosses from another source. I do not have a set up to do my own wood carvings. I have then started with the painting of either chalk paint or acrylic. It is easier to paint if the edges are sanded first. Then I design them in a different way. I took a few days of designing before I did each one. So far, I have done 4 and sold 1 that was custom made. I found a shop on Etsy that does great work on their cross wood cuts. So I will  most likely be using them in the future.
Here is my latest creation.

On my Etsy page you will find other crosses I have done and you can ask for customization for your own. I will do the best to make one the way you wish. 
I also have started to do the cottage/shabby look to frames, and other items that I find that would look good that way. So check out my Etsy Shop.

This is all for now. Till we meet again. Vickie

Not happy with Etsy

I have been contemplating leaving Etsy even though I have been selling there for over 4 years. This year they have made huge changes and made it much more impersonal. They changed the whole look of Etsy, they took away the Treasuries, and other things that used to make it special. I used to get frustrated with the amount of emails for treasuries. Then I realized I had a whole lot more people following and favoring my items. I have used the teams to some extent, but do not find them as productive to help with the selling. I think before long they will take away the teams as well. If they do that, I am sure thousands will leave Etsy. If you are going to want impersonal, then use eBay or worse Amazon.  I noticed too that some of the trusted and loving shops that used to sell and sold a long while has quit selling. They are still on Etsy, but not selling items anymore. Here I reopened a Vintage store a few months back, and changed my name on the design with jewelry shop and frame...
