SPRINGTHYME FAAP

The Folkart and Primitives and More Etsy team 

(FAAP) 

is a very active group.

We do Lots of Fun things on our Team.

Not everyone is able 

to participate in every activity, 

so we have something at least 

once a month that somebody will like!

We have over 200 members, 

but sadly, only about 40 are active.  

Those that are not active, 

sure do miss out on the 

FUN and getting to know each other!! 

Isn't that often the case with any organization.

Our goal is to SELL items, 

BUT we also do our best to help 

our team members sell, also.

On our Team FB page, 

we try to keep each other up to date 

on the always changing Etsy.  

We discuss things that work 

and things that need a little adjusting...

We do a lot of HEARTING of items 

to keep others items getting noticed.

In turn, they do the same for others.

It is a great example of life 

and how we should

 support and encourage others. 

By doing this, we also reap the benefits.  

Kindness ALWAYS matters, 

no matter where you are and 

what you are doing.

We just had a PIN-A-THON 

where each participant pinned 

at least 5 items from the 

shops that participated.

So, HOW can YOU Help?

Go to our shops and PIN some of our items.

Go to Pinterst and seach: 

SPRINGTHYME FAAP 

and find our boards and 

pin some of the items to YOUR boards...

See something you like?  

Then we are more than 

happy to sell it to YOU...

OR

We can help you find what you want--

Most of us do custom orders.

Give us a try...I think you will be pleased.

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😊.

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. ...

The house I grew up in was next to the woods 

that had a little creek flowing through it!

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.

Ryen wanted to leave the shop name open to include any kind of items she chose to create.  After many attempts at shop names that were already taken, RyensMarketplace was born.

I named my store after my big baby cat named Paulie Wogs.

The adze is a tool similar to an axe but the blade is perpendicular to the handle.  The history of the adze is muddy but archeologists know it goes back as far as the stone age.  I used the adze in my shop name because it reminds me of what can be done with simple handtools.  With an axe, and an adze, a Viking could build a ship.     Adzewoodcraft

Tammy Peacock Fry

I came up with my name, after my great aunts farm.  My favorite place.  Her farm was called Lost Valley Farm, as they flooded the valley where the old town site was, it became the lost valley.  She lived in a big old farm house surrounded by antiques, but to her they were her everyday things. 😊

A while back I was laughing with my sisters and my husband told us we sounded like old cackling hens all in good humor of course. So, I thought hmm....Old Cacklin' Hen... sounds like a good name for my business.
