Taking the Plunge

Since I've been on maternity leave I've been contemplating how I can earn some extra money from home. I really like to create unique items to decorate our home and this week, took the plunge and opened my own "shop" on Etsy!

Etsy is a website similar to Ebay where you can sell and buy handmade and vintage items. I've been on the site for a little over a year now and have purchased some really cute items. I've pondered what I could make and sell until a series of events led me to take the plunge this week!

I named my shop "LittleGShop" (can you guess after who?!) and you can check it out by following this link: etsy.com/shop/LittleGshop. While I only have a few items available right now, if they sell (fingers crossed) I will add more! It's all still a work in progress, and I use my limited nap times to get going with it.

I will also be selling these items at a fendor fair in my home town this weekend. My plan is to bring what I have made thus far, see if people are interested and go from there with my shop on Etsy. I want to make personalized items, so I plan on handing out information for people who are interested to visit my "shop" on Etsy.

Here's a peek at some of the decorative mirrors I have listed so far:

Wish me luck!
