Hoooray!

I’m so happy! I just sold my first 2 items in my Etsy store! The sweet and lovely Sissi bought the American Flag Quilt and the Pirate Painting. She also lives in France, so it’ll be fun to tell people (using an upper-crusty snobbish accent), “Our artwork is hanging in a lovely chalet in France.” :-) Thank you Sissi!

Hey, let me know when you have your store all stocked and if it’s okay with you, I’ll share the link in my blog and the playgroup I have. I’m glad you made some sales. :-)

hey Steph!

I wanna buy some flowers! My living room is painted pale green… some prints on the wall in burgeondy frames and I have a blue-y/green & white ceramic vase…

HELP!?!

I tried to sign up for ETSY but had problems. What would you suggest?

T, thanks for your interest! These roses are so gorgeous that they almost don’t even need to coordinate with the decor. For instance, I have red walls in my dining room, mostly darker accents in my pictures and wall art. But a vase of pastel roses in a white vase looks adorable– blue, purple, peach, pink, white, yellow, and orange blooms. But I can make any pastel color you like– the deeper colors are difficult because I use water colors to paint and they just don’t go on dark. I tried to make red & burgundy and it just didn’t work– they came out bright pink.

My grandmother is very into color coordinating, so I just sent her the cream colored roses in a burgundy vase, and they are gorgeous even without all the color. I wish I had a picture! But honestly, it’s hard to get flowers wrong– they are gorgeous no matter what. It sounds like cream might do well in your room, or white?

I’m pretty sure you can sign up for an Etsy account in Canada. My friend in France has an Etsy account and just purchased from my shop. Perhaps Etsy was just having some problems when you tried earlier? If you can’t get it to work and have a paypal account, I can send you my paypal email and you could order them that way. Let me know if still have problems! And thanks so much for your interest!
