Yummy Etsy Find

I love buying things for myself that are small/inexpensive and therefore don't come with the guilt. Yesterday I treated myself to three lip butters from Etsy seller Soapopotomus. They arrived already (very fast shipping). And I am in love! I am usually addicted to my Burt's Bees, but I may be switching permanently to these. They are so silky and light. The flavors I got were the Worm, Itailian Sausage, and Harlot. I think the Worm is my favorite so far, but they are all yummy. I would recommend checking them out and at only $3 a piece and $1.20 flat shipping, it's not much more than you would pay for lip balm at the store.

Birthday Wish List

So it always happens around gift giving holidays, that I completely forget about all of the great things that I really want. So since my birthday is coming up in a little over a month, I am starting to make a record of some of the things on my wish list.

First up are these adorable peep toe heels from Forever21

Next is this very versatile sash from American Apparel


Next up is this cuff wallet that allows you to go out without having to carry a purse. How fabulous is that?! This cuff is from Etsy seller ToviCorrie.
Ok, I better get back to my homework that is due in an hour.

Consignment at Sid and Nancy

I am excited to announce that you can now buy Safiya Alyse accessories at Sid and Nancy in Five Points. I am looking forward to seeing how this works out. I think Sid and Nancy will be a good fit for my accessories.

I also had my first sale in two weeks last night. That was a relief, I was starting to get discouraged.

In an attempt to help get my shop off the ground I attempting to "brand" my shop. I am not really sure what this means, but I am starting with coordinating banner, business cards, labels, etc. It started when I ordered some adorable business cards through Vista Print. I bought some printable fabric last night, and am going to attempt making labels that I can sew onto my products. Here is the banner I created to match everything:

I would like to thank tools4etsy.com for their opportunity for free advertising. I got a free advertising spot on their today and I couldn't be happier. They also have so many great tools for the Etsian. If you haven't checked them out yet, you really should. I am spending my downtime between classes playing around with all of the tools.
