Featured on the Etsy Blog!

My felted wool buddhist monk is listed among the related items of this blog post about the coffin craftsmanship of Trappist monks!

I'm enchanted by the monastic life and I'm very honored that the author of this blog post, Linzee, chose my little felted sculpture to include.

Milestone

A few months ago, I looked at my sales stats and thought to myself, 'I think I can make it to 50 Etsy sales by my 1-year Etsy anniversary.'

Sometimes the sales seem random. 'Goals' of this sort seem rather nebulous. But since I made that goal, I have worked very hard! I've been making lots of new & seasonal items and listing them regularly on Etsy. I've been participating in my Etsy teams' discussions and making my shop more accessible through Facebook and Twitter.

Well, it seems to have worked! This very evening I made it to 50 sales!

Getting Ready for Fall, Already

With a multitude of new acorns!

I am truly a squirrel. I eat nuts and seeds primarily, and I have recently caught myself scoping out the good oak trees for my autumn acorn-cap scavenging.

Stay tuned to my Etsy shop (especially my acorns section) to see my newest fall colors and color combination sets!

Celebration!

Today has been a great day for my Etsy shop! I finally made it to 100 listings this morning, and this afternoon I finally became syndicated with Google Shopping!

In celebration I have a coupon code for you, friends. Use 10FOR100 in the Etsy checkout to get 10% off your purchase from House of Moss!

First Etsy Blog appearance!

My mossy wool pincushion in a vintage ceramic sake cup was listed among the "related items" for this post about collecting pincushions on Etsy's Storque blog! Hooray!

More Than Money

Yesterday I took House of Moss to the Hip Happening Bazaar, my very first craft fair. And it was a good time! I attended it with the expectation that the transactions were going to be where the day's value came from, but instead, the monetary compensation wasn't nearly as valuable as the good time I had with everyone there!

There were so many talented and friendly artisans there. My new friends include: Amy of Vintage Chick Designs, Alex Wijnen, Azure Fire, and Josephine of The Stone Muse. One of the best things about the day was simply getting to chat with all these MAKERS!

It was also great having my dear ones Abbie and Erik along as extra hands and company, as well as family & friends who stopped by!

First Craft Fair

Tomorrow, House of Moss will be at Hip Happening Bazaar! I'm very excited, as it will be my first craft sale in person. And I love the Sellwood area- it should be a really fun day! Stop by and see me there if you can! :)
