1. I am on crafting cloud nine! My Very Jane deal (which was totally a spur of the moment decision at the influence of my cousin, Paige) sold out in less than 10 hours! I was literally switching between fighting back the tears and picking my jaw off the ground as I watched the numbers climb from 30.... 50..... 80.... 120.... 150.....170... SOLD OUT!
Thank you to everyone who supported the deal by promoting it or purchasing an item. I do hope to offer another similar deal on Very Jane in the next 4-6 weeks, and in larger quantities. :)
2. I've mentioned before how I love washi tape. It's so versatile and decorative. I use it on my shipping, on my calender, my home, and anywhere else I can find. Pick Your Plum has a great deal today on patriotic washi tape, something I've never seen! So festive!
3. If you'd love to expand (or start) your collection of washi tape but are tight on funds, I Heart Organizing has a giveaway right now for a collection of washi tape. I'm not familiar with the company sponsoring the giveaway, but it seems like a great assortment of products.
4. Once again, Michelle Patterns makes our Friday Five with her $5 Friday special.
Here's the description from michellepatterns.com:
This bag has two inset pockets--one under the flap, and a second one inside.
The inside is roomy enough to hold a wallet, water bottle, paperback book, ipad in a pouch, etc.
This project takes about 3 hours to complete and is designed for those with basic sewing experience.
5. One of my business goals for the summer is to start an email newsletter with shop updates, blog highlights, and coupon codes. I'm still working on the first edition, but if you'd like to sign up for this mailing, please do so! My highest-value coupons will be in the newsletter and not published elsewhere! You'll also get sneak peeks at upcoming products and highlights of my most popular Etsy listings and blog posts. So, of course you'll want to sign up right away, and I'll never share or sell your email addy. :)
Have a great weekend, everyone - and to all the fathers, Happy Fathers' Day!
