New feature : Pinterest Night


This is a post to introduce a new thing we're going to be doing on our blog.
We haven't had much of an opportunity to post anything lately, 
and therefore we haven't really kept up with the blog as much as we should.
So to get us to post some more, Dave thought of an idea that 
we would should hold a 'Pinterest night' every week or so. 

'Pinterest night' will basically be a night where we decide to make a supper,
with a recipe that we found on Pinterest.
Meals may include anything from vegan to slow-cooker, we're not being picky.
So from here on, we will be posting about once or twice a week, 
with a recipe for something we found on Pinterest.
The blog posts will have some photos of our process,
a review of the meal, the recipe, as well as a link to the original post on Pinterest.

While we're talking about Pinterest, if you would like to follow either Dave or myself, 
you are welcome to. Our links are below. 
We're not going to be making an Autumn Amethyst specific Pinterest.

That concludes my introduction to our newest addition to the blog, 'Pinterest Night'.
Now for a little information on how the shop has been doing.
We've been open for 3 weeks this coming Monday,
and we've gotten about 1,000 views, 40 favorites, and 8 orders.
We've sold about 17 octopus.

I appreciate all the support from everyone, and again, I thank everyone who has 
shared our links, and even purchased from our shop.
We should be making some new inventory available in the near future.
So keep a look out for our facebook posts, and even our blog posts.

By the way, this will be our logo for our pinterest night posts.
We'll also make a new section at the top so you can easily navigate to our Pinterest specific posts!

Grand Opening!


We're pleased to announce that our store is finally open for business!


After long nights of making sure everything was just right,
and taking the time to prepare a decent inventory,
our store is FINALLY launched.
Things will start out small, and hopefully grow with time.

I had a large request for an amigurumi octopus that I had crocheted,
so I decided to bring a variety of them into my store.
Having chosen to do that, it was easier for me to open the store much sooner than originally planned,
because it was a lot less materials I had to start out with,
than a lot of other things I could have opened my shop selling.

With time more will come into the store, other amigurumi, as well as apothecary items, 
among a variety of other handmade goods that I happen to make.
All things from one time sale items, and multiple sale items, 
so keep an eye out for what's new.

All information about what's going on, and what's new will be posted on our Facebook,
as well as that and other more personal things right here on our blog. 

A lot of time and effort has been put into choosing the right packaging,
and learning the proper selling techniques.
I  am so happy I have the opportunity to finally offer things that I create, to everyone!

I'd like to take this time to thank everyone who has supported me thus far,
and people who continue to support us through this new experience.
Thank you everyone who has shared my facebook, etsy and blog, 
as well as those who do so in the future.
Getting a small name out there is so much easier when you have such a supporting,
and loving group of friends and family, as I do.

I hope I can bring you all something wonderful, 
and I hope to see all your beautiful faces back time and time again.
