Tag it Tuesday on Friday




Howdy, Friends
I have been Sniffing out some Good Scents!

I have also sniffed out 
some more amazing 
ART by my Favorite
FAAP TEAM

I thought I would share 
a bit from some shops 
that recently participated in our 
TAG IT TUESDAY

So what is that?

My Mommie, tries to find 
some tags that are fun and on each Tuesday, 
she asks shops to go 
and heart at least 
20 items from 20 different shops.

WHY?

When we heart an item on Etsy, 
it appears in our feed, 
and all of our followers can see it 
and then they can tag it and their followers can see it...
and on and on and on...

It just gives us another opportunity 
to get our items seen!

It in wonderful to have the support of others!

Enjoy these awesome items
And As always
Click on the Blue 
to magically appear in 
the Etsy shop...

Please visit us and 
we thank you for your support.

Loreen Pitchford
I'm afraid I wasn't as original as  many others but I simply continued to use the name of my studio since I've been selling and teaching art from here for some time. I also had the name established across social media - I've read it's good practice to keep the continuity across media outlets😊.









Kim Orcutt
We lived in a valley in NY and at the time the name was for a gift shoppe in our house. I was selling primitive items. The name was Valley Primitives Gift Shoppe. It's now Valley Primitives Stitches because I am now only selling hand stitched items with an old, primitive feel.  







Denise Cassidy Bailey
When I first started out crafting for craft shows in our area, I had piles and piles of items.  My daughters started calling me a 'crazy craft lady'.  When I found that primitives didn't sell well here (Pittsburgh) , I decided to try to sell on eBay.  At the time, I did not have a shop/ shop name, I just did listings.
When I ventured online I did some searches and found Prim Mart.  I needed a log in name and decided to go with crazy craft lady, but changed the C's to K's.  Thus....Krazy Kraft Lady.  I then started a blog and called that ' The Krazy Kraft Lady'.
Eventually I did open a shop on eBay and I needed a name so I abbreviated my name and added Primitives.







Kathy Hale Cage
How did my shop get it's name? I have an introverted personality and ever since I was a child and also as an adult I have felt nearly invisible at times and that people could not see or understand my motivations ... they couldn't see my "heart" ... Some how I have not been good at conveying that ... That's where the name Kathy's Heart came from ... my way of allowing people to see who I am and what matters to me ... my faith and a simple, warm, unsophisticated life ... thus Kathy's Heart Creations ... I have a simple, warm, cozy, homespun, cottage, farmhouse feel in all the things that I make. ...






Wendy Marro
The house I grew up in was next to the woods 
that had a little creek flowing through it!  





Tara Sharan Hensley
It took me several days and a lot of brainstorming but I finally thought , "well my home is rustic" so I came up with The Rustic Home but that was taken so I added Company on the end.  TheRusticHomeCompany





Darla Walk (one of our co-leaders)
My shop name is Harriet Stash.    Harriet was my grandmothers name. Her picture is on my Creation table.... Stash is the "stash in Harriets attic. I have had other names.... always thinking it is the key but let me tell you. I have got rid of other thoughts. this is my shop name... I use it with pride. I loved my Grandmother.

Get to Know Us, Part I

Man, I tell ya...good and free help is so hard to find.
Charcoal is stretched out on the couch, on his back, snoring to beat the band.  Sometimes I think he is channeling my Daddy...heavy sigh...

We want to take some opportunities this year for you to get to know us.  We think once you know us, you will love us, and then you most certainly will want to buy our art!  =)


We want you to know how much we appreciate YOU.  
We couldn't do what we do without YOU.

We thought it would be fun to see how some of our shops got their name; afterall, it is important to KNOW who you are.

Please visit our shops, share our blogs, Follow us, Heart us...Oh Dear...this all sounds soooooo dangerous...let me tell you right now~~it IS DANGEROUS, because once you visit our shops, you will be hooked, and you will want to BUY BUY BUY, and we are so happy to help YOU.




Cynthia Chapman, co-leader
I got the nickname Cyn a few years before I opened my shop. I actually started my blog first. Then I thought this is my place on the internet. I also want a brick and mortor store one day and it would be great to call it Cynzplace. A place to sell all kinds of handmades.   





Jody Stacy
I was working as a Home Care provider working with the elderly and handicap. One of my clients came up with the last two words. And due to what I paint. I thought the word Adorable would be a nice fitting name to combine it all. 





Crystal Cord
I started out with Em's Prims and it was a mix of my kids first and middle names. When I went to strictly whimsy goodies Whimsy by Crystal just fit. :) 




Cindi Toth, Head Honcho
I did not want a business name that was specific to one style and it had to be warm and fuzzy.   LOL   





Judy Miller Duley
There is a holly reserve near us. It is a beautiful piece of forest filled with American holly. A great place to spend an afternoon.





Carol Corrigan
The first part is obvious, since my name is Carol. I've always loved living in the country and watching the changing seasons. My mom loved to decorate for the seasons so I started coming up with seasonal painting projects!




Thank You for stopping by and for seeing 
just a tad of what we have to offer.
We LOVE what we do.

Oh, and don't forget that we are having a sale 
on many items in our shops.

Have a WONDERFULLY CREATIVE DAY
