Happy birthday shop-you’re 2 today!

January 31, 2013

What’s even more exciting than 1 year in business?! 2 years! I never could have dreamed all that’s happened for me and my business in the last 2 years but I’m overjoyed and very grateful.

Just the other day I found a sticky note with a message about a silver jewelry basics class. The class that started this all in motion for me. It’s crazy to think the little decisions we make everyday will snowball and turn into our dreams. But that’s exactly what happens and I’m not complaining. I’m celebrating and I’m celebrating you because where would I be without you?

In celebration of me but most importantly you I have a little deal to offer you. Here it is:

-the first 5 people to sign up for my newsletter and confirm it then email me at ohsoantsyatgmail.com that you have done so will get a very special surprise from me. I’ll give you a hint. You should also email your address and the state your heart lives in.

If you aren’t one of the first lucky 5 don’t worry! I have a special coupon code for you. Same deal sign up for the newsletter and email me and I will message you back with a special birthday code-good until it’s used! Woo! Hint: it’s for 15% off. Ok I guess I just spilled it. No matter, I’m excited!

I hope to get a lot of emails today!

Looking back in my blog archives I realized I never shared any pictures of last year from my 1 year celebration. I’m sharing now. My hair looks so dark!

New treasures/etsy shops

January 25, 2013

In my belated Christmas post I mentioned I might share a few of the lovelies I received as gifts from my mom and sister from a few etsy shops. I love sharing other handmade or vintage shops because I know how much work it takes to run such a business and I love supporting them.

-I have been wanting this little fly trinket box for so long. It’s from a shop named Hueneme Vintage. Right now it lives on my bookcase and has little candies in it.

-I’m always looking for things for the home that remind me of my home in Michigan. Also having a business making state and country shaped jewelry I am drawn to shops who tell people’s stories in a similar way. This Michigan chalkboard hanging is from dirtsa studio.

– I discovered this print by Ashley Goldberg quite some time ago and being a knitter I was instantly drawn to it. My mom taught me to knit which makes it even more special.

-I love bug related things (for example the fly from above) and when searching for bug related prints I found this awesome print by Vintagezoos.

-Finally I saw a print by Jordan Grace Owens on the Maiedae blog and had to have one of my own (2 in this case-they are small)

I love all my new gifts and prints and I can’t wait to get them up on the wall but first I have to search out some frames. I’ll have to share again once I get them all up!

What’s your favorite etsy shop lately?

Christmas in january?

January 21, 2013

Christmas was a bit hectic for my family this year and since we couldn’t all be together we decided to make it as special as we could. I busted my butt to have all my gifts in the mail to arrive by Christmas but my family was a little bit slower and the gifts weren’t scheduled to arrive until the second week of January. That is when I had planned my trip to Austin so the gifts sat around for yet another week.

Finally when I returned I fit them all in by the tree (that I kept up for this very purpose) and set up a skype date with my sister and then my mom and her husband. We tried to skype all together but figured out we couldn’t so we chatted all at the same time and I would bet Walker was glad he wasn’t home yet.

It was a lot of fun! We all took turns opening gifts and exclaiming about them (I may share a few later this week). We even got a group Christmas picture! I love my family and I’m glad we waited until we could all “be together”. It was quite special.

-All the presents by the tree (even some for Walker!)

-Skype date with my sister.

-My annual Elvis calendar. My sister buys it every year and my mom claims the gift. It’s quite funny. I can always spot it by the tree.

-Group photo! This was take 4 or 5-so funny!
