Devoted to small businesses and those who run them

First up is Jessica of Maine-ly a Mom and her Etsy shop, featuring lovely (and fun!) sewn goods. 

1. I am so inspired by all the projects you're completing (and blogging about) these days; keep sharing, especially with all those photos!
2. The quality of your photos shows the quality and love in your products.  It's obvious that your personal projects don't get "more" than the items you've put in your shop listing.
3. Your blog and your Etsy shop are new, but there's plenty to read, see, and, well, buy!  You've got a great variety already, and you're mixing it all up so nicely.

     TIP:  Keep adding to that list of goodies for sale by personalizing products.  I'm totally loving the matching bibs/burp cloths, and the red, white and blue reversible bag is fantastic.  Offering these items in a wide variety of colors and patterns must mean a more efficient production on your end, while still providing potential customers with lots of choices. 

My next find is Eren of This Vintage Chica and her Etsy shop offering vintage finds.

1. I am so feeling the sassy, feminine vibe on your blog!  Your colors are just fascinating, and that header...oh my word...too fun!
2. So many links, so little time!  Eren, you're doing a great job at passing along great blogs, resources, ideas.  I could spend hours just perusing those, let alone anyone else's blogs!
3. Your flair for finding treasures everywhere, at a great price, is evident.  I do believe I'm lusting after that vintage pink and brown linen tablecloth.  Don't mind the drool, folks.  I'll clean up when I leave.

    TIP:  I don't know how on earth you can do these low, low prices.  WOW, you must really know where to buy!  Not that buyers will argue.  However, do consider the lower priced items.  Would their value (especially as vintage items) be more evident with a bit higher of a mark-up?  (Coming from someone who is accustomed to wholesale and resale of new items, not vintage, of course.)

 Lastly, but certainly not least, er, leastly :

Kali of Enjoying My Journey, and her Etsy "shoppe", Poppy Lane:

1. Your blog soothes me with beautiful colors.  I feel like I've had a quiet "cuppa" after visiting your blog!
2. I really enjoy hearing about your day-to-day goings on, and the photos are the icing on the cake.  I feel like I've received a letter from a friend, not visited a blog written by a stranger.
3. Your handiwork is amazing.  What can I say about the fish appliqued baby onesie other than too stinkin' CUTE!  For some reason, the bubbles speak to me.

     TIP:  Lovin' the way you have your prices in American dollars, but I assume your Australian customers would prefer to see a general rate for them (yes, I know exchange rates vary) so they can eyeball it quickly rather than having to contact you.  But perhaps they are accustomed to figuring it already? 

And now, off I go to find a few other blogs to peruse.  Someone send the search and rescue dogs after me if I'm not back soon!
