I miss Suede like crazy. And Domino. I'm hording my old issues.

Honey + Suede
I was browsing around the magazine aisle at the bookstore and thought, I really miss Honey and Suede magazines. I'm loving Arise Magazine (such a beautiful publication), but can you imagine if Suede, Honey, and Vibe Vixen were all still available — at once? It's sad that this sounds like an ou...
oh my god i **LOVE** that wedding dress. i would definite shorten it though but i think it's perfect. after the wedding you could dye it and have a super sweet cocktail dress for any occasion.

Estate Sale Scores!
I was a lucky ducky last week, invited to an estate sale "pre-sale" which is for dealers only- they get to go in a a few days before the public estate sale starts and get first dibs on all the snaggable items! Who knew? And how did I get to go to such a thing? Because my awesome realtor Jeff is ...

Laura,
Re-listing definitely adds up but if you think about it as part of your monthly advertising budget- as you do- then it's easier to justify spending the money on Etsy, especially if it's so succesful you don't have to advertise elsewhere.

7 Ways to Get Your Shop Noticed by Etsy Admin
{The Watcher, photo by Alice Lily.} I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that the three most high profile spots for sellers on Etsy.com are the Featured Seller, Front Page, and Gift Guides. These are high visibility parcels of Etsy real estate where you are guaranteed to get a few hun...
Yes, Anda thanks for mentioning the merchandising articles! I forgot to include that here but they are incredibly helpful for sellers.

Handmade Spaces: Betz White
Betz White is a well-know crafter extraordinaire! I've long since been in love with her adorable creations and was so happy to see her workspace photos pop up in the Handmade Spaces Flickr pool. You may have seen Betz recently on her whirlwind blog tour over last month, getting the word out abou...

Well, shucks, guys!
How about that! Someone besides my mom actually does read this blog after all! Who knew? I can't thank you all enough for the tons of congratulations, here, and on Facebook and on Flickr and on Twitter! (Hi, my name's Alissa and I'm a "social media-aholic".) I'm definitely still floating ar...
totally relating to this post, both the analysis paralysis (i mentioned it on my blog also) as well as the broke part.
i don't really have an answer. but as i work on addressing these issues myself, i find that making lists and setting goals really helps in terms of getting me focused. lately i've been working on writing a real business plan for what i want to do and that's been helpful in terms of laying out honestly what i want, where i'm going and how to get there. that's been a very helpful process and has made me think through some things i probably wouldn't have otherwise. good luck, you're so talented i'm eager to see what you come up with.

A flurry
Okay, I think I've isolated the problem: I'm broke. In order to elevate myself from "broke" to "doesn't have to pay her bills with a credit card anymore," I desperately need to create some other sources of income for myself. This will not include a job for "the man" or any man for that matt...
GREAT link. Thanks for sharing!

FRIENDS & LOVERS {leanne shapton}
Hello Duckies! I hope you all had wonderful weekends, full of cranberry sauce and stuffing. I spent a chilly but very fun few days down in Bryant Park at the Mixed Co. booth, where I had the pleasure of meeting several very wonderful people from here in NYC and also elsewhere. What a treat to ...
Hi Jena,
I also posted resolutions on my blog. Mostly I want to make my dream of a small crafty business a reality. Perhaps I should add a mention on Modish to my list as well? You've got a great list here. Can't wait to see what you come up with in 2007!

Happy New Year!
{card by O plus D} I'm not sure why one bothers with writing out resolutions that one will most likely fail to keep. Perhaps it keeps us sane? Gives us hope for the coming year that we'll actually do something worthwhile with our lives? So in effort to do something traditional for once, her...
You've been busy! Congrats on taking things to the next level. Like the new banner.

Yes folks, that's NEW times four! (remember, with me, everything comes in fours.) I'm skipping Music Monday today because I'm too excited to tell you about other things...here goes. NEW #1: Modish has a new flowery look? What do you think? NEW #2: Remember that shopping directory I said I ...
Congrats!
I can't believe you only started the site in April, it's grown so quickly. Alot of the reasons and inspirations you had for starting modish is similar to what I was thinking before starting Make It. Here's to continued success! This will expose you to a whole new group of readers.
P.S. Don't hate on batik. :) I do some myself and it's cool, i swear.

Modish has been featured as Decor 8's blog of the week! If you'd like to learn more about me, why I started Modish, my hopes and dreams {gasp}, where I want to move, and who I'm inspired by, then check out my interview with Holly! It's very informative, I think I even learned a little more ab...
Ack! So exciting! Thanks so much for the shoutout! :)

New blog on the block
Hey all, there's a new kid in blogtown called Make It written by the oh so sweet Shannon. It's in its fledgling phase but is sure to become another daily read for us craftin' folk. It's targeted towards crafters who need advice on turning their passion into a business, or those already estab...
