If you follow me on Twitter, you may have heard, but I am planning on closing up my etsy shop.  I don’t have a definite time frame that I’ll be closing it up for, could be a few months or it could be forever.  Or I may actually just put it on vacation.  Does anyone know, if you officially CLOSE the shop, can you reopen it again? I’m going to be traveling tons this summer and between blogging and work and just keeping up life with family and friends, it certainly wouldn’t be easy.  As you handmade owners know, between making items, taking pictures, posting them, and making frequent trips to the post office, it definitely takes a lot more time and effort than it may look!  I currently have a good amount of inventory leftover from recent craft fairs I’ve been apart of, so I plan on listing those items within the next few weeks.  So there will probably be a few more months until I fully close up shop, but just wanted to give everyone a head’s up.  I hope you understand!

I’ve honestly had a lot of fun with my shop.  I’ve made a lot of handmade business owner friends, have truly learned what it takes to have a shop open, and learned a little bit about customer service as well.  I definitely want to THANK all of the people who have helped me in getting started with the shop, given me advice on how to improve my shop, and of course to all those who have made purchases and kept me in business!!  🙂

Here’s some of my newest inventory, just listed!! 🙂
