Hi Ann! Thanks for the nice note re: the article. Would love it if you would put it on your blog! Thanks! I told several of our altered art/steampunk customers about your etsy site when we saw them at Kane this weekend. Do you have any business cards I could give them that have the address? If so, maybe you could send them with John to Ship. If not, I will post something on the blog so they can easily find you. I'm going to join the shop talk group. Joe says hi! And, yes, we are practically neighbors! xo -- Sandy/rhubarb reign
Stop by again and see the "weird, cheap stuff" I found last weekend. xoJoan
