I have some kind of glitch on my computer, that I've had sometime.  What a pain!  The typing goofs up and can scramble the words, and I have to retype.  I love to give my opinion, but bear with me if I miss some mistakes.

I found another treasure on Etsy that I have admired for some time.  The watercolor artwork is so beautiful, and here is my favorite.

 

Hidden Treasures of Etsy Shops

I haven't been around for awhile, got caught up in doing local craft shows.  What fun!  What work!  It is worth the effort and we make a lot more money than on the internet.  I don't think I'm very good with SEO or very patient. We have had our shop, Tigerseyecrafts, on Etsy for 3 1/2 years and seen a lot of changes on that selling venue.  I make a lot of purchases from Etsy Shops for gifts, supplies, and myself .  I can order, pay, and forget it------I've never had a problem.  My gifts are sent straight to the person, like my grandchildren, and the shop will usually add a nice tag for me.

Anyway, in my many searches on Etsy, I have found many HDDEN TREASURES OF
ETSY.  I would like to share some of these shops and maybe you will find a treasure for you.  My first shop is  http://www.withthesehandscreate.etsy.com.  Enjoy and I will be back with more gems for you.

Picture Frame

https://www.etsy.com/listing/91489365/beautiful-picture-frame-inset-withom

Just relisted this picture frame and realized how beautiful it is.  Larry does good work.  I lowered the price to $35.00 from $50.00 to see if we can sell a frame on Etsy. We sell them at craft shows, but the toys sell so much better, that I am afraid that Larry will stop  producung such a fine piece.

Closed Indiemade shop.

So, I got tired of trying to log into my Indiemade shop, and closed my Tigerseyecrafts shop there.  I told them the reason, and they said they had never heard of it, but it happened to me.

We are in the middle of heading home from Colorado, and sales at craft shows were pretty good while we were there.  We have stopped in Albuquerque to visit our daughter and family and tomorrow off to Tucson.  Kind of round about way to go, but we like to miss Phoenix because it is such a sprawling big town.  We will spend the night tomorrow at Elephant Butte Lake in southtern New Mexico.  Then, straight home to Tucson to be welcomed by a wave of heat.  Last year it was 105 degrees, but supposed to be in 90s.  That would be nice.
