I should have come up with a more creative name, but I panicked! If you don’t name your treasury within 10 seconds, you LOSE your spot! Curating treasuries on Etsy is like a competitive sport. The number of people WANTING to create one, and the number of spaces available is 2:1. But it’s fun...

Snow is beautiful. It’s like a fresh coat of paint covering the wear and tear, the dirt and grime and all that it broken, with a fresh coat of white. It makes you think that everything can begin again. A fresh start, a new beginning. Well, at least until the cars start traveling the road...

I’ve got milk, toilet paper, bread, eggs, coffee and pancake mix. I can survive! So bring it on. It will give me more time to file my taxes (blech!), clean my house (double blech!) read a book, watch a movie or work on my Etsy shoppe! I might even go out shooting. If the roads...

I hope you’ve gone over and checked out all of the amazing and wonderful handmade (or vintage!) things on Etsy.com and have seen the wonderful items featured on the front page.

Amiee! Congratulations… you may choose any 5×7 print from my Etsy.com Shoppe. BUT you may wish to wait just a couple of more days. I have more beautiful images to add, but with the snow, their delivery has been delayed and well, I honestly don’t remember what exactly I ordered in exactly which size. ”Old...

The holidays are busy for all of us, but it seems to be a bit crazier than average around our house. Lots of birthdays in November, then Christmas and New Years… and another birthday on New Year’s Eve! Add to that that we listed our home for sale yesterday and there were plenty...

Of course photography is an art and therefore has a level of subjectiveness to it, and every photographer has different areas of strength/weakness. BUT some qualities of photography are NOT subjective, and SHOULD be present in all photos that clients are paying for. Qualities such as COMPOSITION, CLARITY, COLOUR and EXPOSURE. These...
