CH~ CH~ CHANGES!

First change... my daughter & her little family will be leaving New England & moving to Chicago! What a bummer! no more little weekend visits to see her & our grand daughter. It's been so nice with all of us in this part of the country. Still we are thankful that we've had about 14 years with them so close by (close by meaning less than 5 hours away)! And isn't this what's supposed to happen?? ~ children leaving the nest & flying to a new place??
Well the 2 different shops in 3 venues just isn't doing it for me. One site that I thought I'd love, I didn't..it seemed "messy" & rather sloppy; loved the name, but that was all - besides I was paying a monthly fee to list there. So today I said goodbye & withdrew my few items from the shop. I also will be leaving the other venue, just how or when is a bit up in the air.

But I did find another new place to sell..& this venue I'm keeping!! It's easy to navigate in, It's fresh & clean & you only pay when an item sells!! hot dog! how great is that?! I'm now in 1000Markets!! I've been there for about 1 week & love it!!

I have a new banner for the new venue; it was created by Renee of ThompsonDesigns (she also did the eversodear banner for my etsy shop) ♥ If you ever need a business card, blog or shop banner, look her up. her prices are good & her work excellent!

From now on only etsy & 1000Markets; I'm through looking for greener pastures!

another change.... the economy. It hit us last night, hubby is now on a 3 day work week, but we thank God that he's still employed. We keep our expenses low - moderate, so hopefully just a little belt tightening will suffice.
....just hoping there will be no more changes for awhile!!

The best to you at 1000Markets! Your shop looks great! I love how you have the different categories for different looks!

Well, life would just grow boring and stagnant without change, wouldn't it?
And just think, you'll be traveling to Chicago to visit family now!
Going to look at your 1000 Mkt shop now... :)
