Esty Shop Spotlight : Garter Lady

Sometimes I find an Etsy shop that wows me. Or makes me giggle, inspires me or moves me in another way. I'd like to share them with you is a series called "Etsy Shop Spotlights." The first in this series is a beautiful lingerie shop called Garter Lady.



The shopkeeper likes to add the sense of mystery, not only in her exquisitely sophisticated naughty niceties, but in her identity too.... Her online bio simply tells us "Whatever anyone needs to know about me can be found in the threads of the materials I use in designing my collection of handmade garters." Now THAT'S sexy!

I've lifted a few images from this seller's shop to give you just a hint of what's in store. Be sure to pop over right now to see what is currently in stock at Garter Lady






Ooh la laa!

Want To Do-It-Yourself and Don't Know How?

Take a look at the Smartflix page on Craftzine.com! Here you'll find a DVD library, available for rent, on topics with titles as varied as "Clone Yourself a Dressform," "Constructing Woodland Moccasins" and "Polymer Clay Treasures From Heart To Hand."

From the "How It Works" information:

SmartFlix is a service that rents video DVDs - just like your corner video store... but we rent the kind of videos that you can't find on every street corner. Videos on running lathes, making glass beads, welding steel, oil painting, building guitars... cool videos!

Rent online, at any time of day, and get the videos shipped straight to you (with return postage included free!).

Here's how regular rentals work:

1. Select which videos you want to rent, and then click "secure checkout". Most videos are just $9.99 each (a few are more), per week.

2. SmartFlix will send you the video in a cardboard mailer (there is no shipping charge!).

3. You get to watch the video for one week, then you put the video back in the cardboard mailer, stick a pre-printed return-address and return-postage label on the mailer, and drop it in the mail (no stamps needed! Your initial payment covers everything!)

(Here's what we mean by "one week": If the video arrives at your address on a Wednesday, you must put it in the mail on or before the following Wednesday).


I think I'm into it!

Open To the Trade!

I'd read about bartering within, and beyond, the Esty website community and filed the information under "keep in mind." It's easy for me to go surfing off tangentially on the web and I have learned - that is NOT the way to get my projects done.... I can wile away plenty of time, hopping from one intriguing site to another. And so, I filed that memo to myself and promptly forgot about it, safe in the understanding that when I decided to look into the idea, I would be able to.

This morning, analyzing the viewer statistic for my shop, I noted a referrering site, called EtsyTraders on Blogspot. "Well, I thought, "What do you know! My memo has popped up just at a time when I have a moment to address it!"

Off to check out this trading concept. Clicking to the site, I found quite a well-organized list of Etsy shopkeepers happy to trade merchandise with each other.
The list is maintained by members of the Etsy Trade-a-holics Team, which hosts a blog along with the previously linked list. You can find them at etsytradeaholics.blogspot.com. It's a clean, well-designed site that features the work fo the Team members.

Think you might be interested in trading? Check them out!
