A year ago, I recieved an email from an etsy customer who wished to purchase two of my upcycled teddy bears. She worked for a well known publishing company and was in the process of sourcing toys and softies to use in a baby board book. I of course was thrilled with the honor to have a handcrafted item of mine considered for this book!
I sold her the bears and filled out some forms, and for the next couple of months, periodically thought about how the process was going. Last year was a busy year for me and I ended up forgetting all about this, but today I just received a parcel from the publisher with the book inside!
The book is printed in 4 languages and sold all over the world! My striped teady bear was featured on the last page! I was completely elated and over the moon! It is such an affirmation to me that this is my dream job! To create and to have people enjoy what I create!
Book can be purchase at Borders, Burlington Coat Factory, Ross, Texas Bookman and Beall's.
Read below for an update on the past few months:
The Christmas craft sale season was a wildly successful adventure! I loved getting into the community and seeing all my customers face to face. If you came out to buy green, handmade presents from me, I am extremely grateful to you, and urge you to check my sites often to see new products that you might be interested in!
For the next few months I will be focusing on production, and listing items on my etsy shop. There will the favorite stand-bys: Stuffed owls, teddy bears, hot water bottle covers, coffe cup sleeves, and flower accessories, but I will also be adding a few new items! I am so excited to make these, post them and gauge customer reaction!
Please check back often to see the new goods being posted in my etsy shop!
Happy New Years!!!!
