Etsy Holiday Open House

Sunday was our annual Etsy Holiday Open House. I really enjoy hosting this event at my home. I have some wonderful and very talented friends that are all Etsy sellers. Somehow we manage to squeeze them all in and create our own mini show. We serve great food and keep the wine flowing! Click on any of their names for a link to their shop! Click on pics to super size! Above:  Me, Kelley and Kim at the dining room table. I share this "booth" each year with Kim. Rusty Rooster Vintage is the left side of table and has the wreaths, of course!

 Recognize those primitive trees from Great Day in the Country post? Everyone kept asking if they were for sale! lol My Santa wreath, nest and nativity wreath sold quickly. I still have feather balls, map pages with skeleton key, map pages with boat and a dictionary wreath with skeleton key. If you are interested, email me. They ship! Not as fragile as they seem.

 I did numerous vintage book paper wreaths, ornaments and Santa printed on sheet music. I kept things low key this year so I could mingle with the guests.

I have a few of the Santa mason jar lid ornaments left. They are $6 each plus shipping. Email me if you are interested. They'll be on Etsy soon! I will make a few more nativity scene ones too. I also have a few high resolution Santas on original 1930's sheet music for $8 and free shipping. Again, will be on Etsy this week sometime or just email me.

I found this cutie for holding my business cards at a thrift store -

Here's Kim and her great shop full of tags, gift card holders and holiday goodies. Love her bingo cards -

Kelley's shop G&S Supply offers blocks, advent calendars, assemblages, albums...the list goes on!

Cathleen of Triple C Designs alters books, makes journals and this year had her own pumpkin patch! Heck, she'll even babysit while you shop!

Amy ran the show for Two Florida Girls my favorite shop for cozies and hair clips!

...and super cute sports themed stuff too!

Next up was  Kimberly of WhimZy. She makes custom jewelry! Here she is working with a customer.

And here is a fabulous ring I purchased from her!

And a necklace I am planning on for the holidays! Her booth was so busy that I did not get pics during the party!

Finally we have Kasey of Autumn and Everything After. She makes beautiful banners (have a custom one), burlap pillows (I bought some cute Xmas ones), tote bags and cuffs.  Somehow she managed only to get in my set up photos! We were quite busy once the open house got started. It was a huge success! I did snap a few photos of her goodies though!-

WHEW!  That was a long post but I wanted to share all these talented ladies with you. Many of them participate in local craft fairs but there is just something special about having our friends, co-workers and neighbors over for drinks, treats and shopping. It takes some furniture moving and some squeezing but we manage to set up a nice "show" ourselves in the comfort of home. Etsy sellers...you should try it!  It really is something we each look forward to doing. Here we are rushing to get done!

I'm working on my giveaway post!! Stay tuned. You will LOVE it! Thank you each for your sweet comments and follows. I try to respond to each of you as long as you have your email set up properly.
