***OCTOBER 3RD & 4TH WEEKEND SHOPPING EXTRAVAGANZA***

Beginning on Saturday October 3rd at 12:00 AM EST, the Etsy Supply Street Team is hosting another "Weekend Shopping Extravaganza." This months event will run Saturday, October 3rd & Sunday October 4th, 2009. ALL ETSY SHOPS - HANDMADE, SUPPLIES AND VINTAGE - are invited to participate by placing an announcement in your shop and joining in with promoting on the "Official" Promotional thread in the Etsy Forums.

This will be a “Shopping Event” similar to a Public Marketplace. There will not be a "overall theme" since Etsy is a Global Marketplace hence, the seasons, cultures, holidays, etc. can vary quite a bit. Although not required, we do strongly encourage shops to have a feature, theme or sale as this can pique interest and help you to draw people to your shop.

You do not have to participate for the whole weekend simply join in when you can on the Promo thread in the Etsy Forums. You can search for the official thread - “OCTOBER WEEKEND SHOPPING EXTRAVAGANZA OCTOBER 3RD & 4TH”. Here is the Promo thread in the Etsy Forums:
WEEKEND SHOPPING EXTRAVAGANZA OCTOBER 3RD & 4TH

The only requirement is that you have a shop on Etsy and help promote by joining in and bumping the thread throughout the weekend. Talk about your shop and what you have to offer our shoppers.

Those of you who blog, twitter , facebook, myspace etc. can post about it and promote to people that are off Etsy to visit us. It will provide the Etsy community with publicity, making our shops more visible, and hopefully creating a monthly event shoppers will look forward to. If you have any questions please convo the Etsy Supply Street Team.

Meet Our Team ESST Contest Winner!!

***


I'm a multi-media artist who enjoys making jewelry, handmade paper using recycled and organic elements and all types of altered art including handpainted glass, altered books and collage on paper, wood and canvas. Many of the supply items I sell in my shop have been hand-altered by me - I like to start the altering process and make my transformed treasures available for your creative use.










I enjoy spending time at thrift stores and consignment boutiques looking for vintage jewelry. Some of the found jewelry is 'deconstructed' to make my own creations, while other finds are sold to like-minded jewelry artisans!

I'm a former New Yorker, who relocated to New Mexico after living in South Florida for 10 years. I live amongst the winery vineyards and horse ranches in the North Valley area of Albuquerque. When I'm not channeling my creative energy, I channel healing energy as a licensed massage therapist and energy healer (Reiki Master/Teacher, Quantum Touch, EFT, crystal and chakra therapy).
