I'm a Shop Owner!

I’ve heard so many people talking about the terrific web site, Etsy, and the wonderful handcrafted items that are available there.  So, after some enjoyable exploration and a purchase or two, I decided to open a shop of my own.
My plan is to offer many of my small creations (such as the one pictured above) for sale on the site, and I’m discovering that it’s a fairly easy process to post the items.  An added benefit is that I’m learning to use my camera more effectively, since photos of the pieces are such an important element in the presentation.  My Sony CyberShot and I are getting along pretty well, and I’ve found that a tri-pod is an invaluable assistant.
Please stop by my shop for a visit; the link is here.  And, if you find something you'd like to purchase, I know I'll be sending it to a good home.

Congratulations, Diane! Your shop looks great! Your quilts are so colorful and you've done a great job photographing them. I love the names too....especially your birds! I'm sure I'm not the only one that is curious about opening an Etsy Shop so sharing your experiences are very much appreciated.
