Calling All....

of you who make things with your own genius and talented hands! (or even off borrowed genius but still with your own hands)

I have insanely talented friends...coughDesicoughKatycoughBeckycoughLaracoughetc. (if you aren't named here please keep reading because I am still talking to you).

I am opening a boutique. Which I need to ask...do you like the word boutique? I really like it. To me it sounds quaint, cute, and like I am going to walk in and find something beautiful or cutesy. My sister on the other hand thinks of cobwebs and dust when she hears that word. What comes to your mind. I really truly need to know.

I will give full details soon. But part of my vision is to be an "Etsy Live" shop. Where I live, internet is not as huge and used as much as in the west. It might be for economic reasons but I am not totally sure. Therefore, so many ...and I mean 95% of the people I talk to have no clue what I mean when I say, "oh I got this on Etsy". So, I want to bring pieces of Etsy to my town. But not really Etsy...I want to bring pieces of YOU to my town.

I am looking for those of you interested in having your creations featured in my shop. I only want to start out with 5-10 of your pieces. If they are a hit we will talk more. If they are slower to move...we may never talk again. Totally kidding. But you understand.

Your items should come with a cutesy tag with your design name and website. I am more than willing to send customers directly to you via the web. I hope this will draw people to my shop to discover new designers as well as boost the sales of those of you who definitely have the skill to make money by your designs and creations.

If you are interested please e-mail me at lauravannoy@gmail.com and we will talk more. And don't feel pressured to think this will have to be a big ordeal. If you only want to make 2 things...then 2 things it is and you can choose to never make another item ever. But I hope we both find that this is not the case.

So e-mail me...and if I want some of you and you don't e-mail me...well...I just may come looking for you. So don't think you get off that easy!
