I was featured on the frontpage of etsy! August 5, 2010
To my surprise my daughter came and said hey mom congratulations! I had no idea what she was talking about? She's like its on your facebook, your on the frontpage! I didn't believe facebook so I went straight to the source. Checked out the front page of Etsy and there I was with my bright chalcedony citrus earrings! Honestly I'm so happy that I buckled down and started learning everything about how to use my camera because it all paid off! Here is a screenshot of the treasury.

I won my first contest!
So I enter a lot of contests, magazines, blogs and such. This was my first time ever winning one! I entered a contest from one of my favorite suppliers Licia Beads Vault and actually won! It was a $50 dollar gift certificate to shop for some awesome and utterly amazing beads. She has onion, marquise, briolettes and more. If your looking for high quality hand selected beads, Licia Bead Vault is the place to go.

Feature Satuday AnBlathPaipeir on Etsy
Today we are featuring Becki Owner of AnBlathPaipeir on Etsy. Please visit her shop to see all her pretty and amazing items!
First Name: Becki
Who runs the shop? Why, I do.
What do you sell? Recycled Eco Friendly Recycled paper flowers
What made you decide to sell handmade? I have always loved working with my hands. This one is not my first shop. I started out with beaded jewelry. I still have the shop, but it is a rough market on etsy. I enjoy what I do, and I feel great that I can help the environment, and make a small chunk of change for my family in the process.
What exactly goes into developing your product (s)?
Mostly...Time...My flowers are unique in their assembly, and in their creation. Each has its own personality, and shape. They take about an hour to make. If you look at the picture, you can visualize each sheet of paper, singly its own place in the symmetry of the flower. And each one is placed individually.
What are some challenges in running your own shop?
Again, Time. I am a full time stay at home mom running a house hold of seven. I am a full time writer working on publishing my first novel, AND a full time business woman. I juggle a great deal of things in my daily life.
Anything rewarding about what you sell? How it may affect others who use it?
Did you take any classes? Not presently. But I plan to take a few creative writing classes very soon. I have considered teaching a few classes as well.
What are your favorite materials? For the flowers anything paper! I have tried nearly every type of paper.
Do you have another website besides etsy? I have a blog! http://beckisdesigns.blogspot.com/
Any goals for the rest of the year? I am hoping to get to some shows this summer, replenish my stock, and reach 30 sales!
What advice would you give to someone just starting out? Whooo...thats a big question. All I can say is don't give up.
Incredibly enough, I came upon the idea for these flowers in a dream. As far as I have searched, I am the only one with flowers like these.
Made from recycled printer paper, spray painted pink, and sealed with an acrylic sealer.
3/4 inch Star flower Ring.
$15.00
