Featured Artist Cootie Kids

My first Featured Artist and she has no clue yet that I have done this until she looks at her FB page and notices lol. She is the sweetest person you could ever meet, and extremely talented to!

I would like to feature my very first Featured Artist Cootie Kids!
Her hand warmer's are totally Awesome, and ever so soft. We got a pair from her and they are excellent in the cold climate. Plus if you get cold while at work you can slip them on and have free fingers! So saying that they are even great to wear in the office place! She also makes Beanie hats, and sewn items to.
Got an idea of something you want shoot her an Etsy Convo and she will let you know if she can make it. (Most Likely she can make it) Check her out at http://www.etsy.com/shop/cootiekids

This show is also for charity, and will be advertised. Its gonna be a big event!

I just wish that the people would of gave us the info a little sooner, instead of 2 weeks before it happens.

Rushing to make changes to go with their color scheme, trying to get something setup to accept credit cards and ect....

Lets hope we get it all done!

New Featured Artist!

So Im doing something a little different in between trying to get stuff done, and listed. I would like to randomly do a featured artist. I already have my first Featured artist lined up. I will be doing so keep your eyes peeled in the next few post!

Rochester Community Church Craft Show

I thought I would let you all know how the show went. 

For a small event and us being 1 of 2 craft booths we actually didnt do to bad. My soaps and Lotions were a hit and I only have 1 small lotion bottle left. 

My sisters little monster sucker tops were a hit as well.

Here are some pictures I took at the show.

ArtFire Group Deal

Hey everyone just thought I would spread the word about the deal Artfire is offering right now. The Artfire Group deal is only 5.95 a month for a locked in rate, once 20,000 members sign up for this offer. Check it out at http://www.artfire.com/groupdeal
Thats really good if you think about it because I know I spend that plus some at times depending how much I list on Etsy between both my shops in a month.
I had a standard account for a while and didnt do so well but alot of that is because I was not a pro member so I couldnt participate in alot of the things pro accounts can do. So Im gonna try this out and test the waters. My Etsy stays but I wanna see how well I will also do at artfire as well.
My old account currently doesnt have any listings as all the pics I had on there were crappy, and I am gonna re do it. My pro account will be Leighs Wiccan Boutique, and I plan on setting up a standard non pro account for my vintage collectibles to keep it all seprate.
Once my Pro account is active I will begin adding all my items and get it underway for construction so I can put what I want and how I want things as pro's get alot more options when it comes to listings.
As a pro member they also have alot of features that etsy does not have like coupons, a discount button ect. So if you sell vintage or handcrafted items check it out!

New Items coming to Leigh's Wiccan Boutique Plus a Special Welcome to a new Design Member!

Leigh's Wiccan Boutique is working on some great useful new products for you to enjoy. Soon Leigh's Wiccan Boutique is going to be offering the following handcrafted products.
Smudge Sticks made from Home Grown Sage, Soap made with all natural oils, and last but not least Wiccan Wooden Wands that are adorn with handpicked Gemstones for their powers to be used for Healing, and White Spell Casting.

Plus a new designer is Joining up with Leigh's Wiccan Boutique! Can you guess who it might be?
Here's a hint I mention her quiet often in my blog, She is an awesome psychic adviser, My dear Wicca Friend, who also specializes in White Magic. She has also provided me with the sleep meditation that is sent with each dream catcher I have made and sold. Thats Right Azzrian Visions is going to be offering her wonderful Smudge Sticks. Plus Her and I will be working on the soaps as she is going to teach me the technique. She will also be assisting me in the process of Wand making since each stick will need to be rubbed with special natural oils during the consecration process.
Kay Stars and I are thrilled to have her aboard with our crafting and friendship.
Azzrian Vision's Id like to offer you a big warm welcome into our circle.
We are blessed to have you.

Sincerely,
Mandi Leigh's
