Get to know.... 'The Artist's Closet'

What is your Etsy shop name?
The Artist's Closet

How did you come up with that name?
I thought of the place where I keep my art supplies and where people would most likely store theirs.

What sort of crafting supplies do you sell?
In The Artist's Closet I sell Mixed Media, Book Arts, and Altered Art supplies.

Street clothes or PJ's?

Please tell us one thing that nobody would know about you.
I don't like wearing socks. Even in the dead of Maine Winters.

What is your favorite thing to make for dinner?
If I am alone (without my husband or boys) I love imported cheese, stoned wheat thin crackers, red grapes, pistachio nuts and a glass of wine. With my family we have been into Indian Food lately. Tandoori chicken, even though I don't have a tandoori oven.

What goals do you have for your shop over the next year?
To increase sales in all six of my Etsy shops by marketing off site. Create more handmade goods. Try to establish more wholesale accounts of my handmade items in local shops (live in Maine-seasonal coastal community).

I have a total of six shops on Etsy. Three Supply shops and Three Handmade.
