Etsy Shop up and a Workshop... finally!

Hello,

We woke up to a dusting of snow this morning and it has put me in the Christmas decorating mood...  That is a good thing since I have not hardly started... I brought everything up and unpacked it all but it is all in the dining room just waiting to be put in it's place. I will show pictures next week.

I have been busy loading my etsy store... finally. With all the shows I have been doing - I just haven't had time, so for the next few days I will be listing.

I woke up with sales already on these, that makes me happy!

I have not sold on etsy before, only my blog shop and website. 

So listing has been slow. Here are some things you will find at

Rebecca for Vintage Living etsy shop

I plan on working in my studio this weekend and listing what I make next week. I know it is late in the season but I want to play now and what I don't sell this year, will give me a head start on next year. It seems I am always behind and playing catch up.

I have sold out of stars, so I am trying to make a few more of those also.

My last show was good but I am glad to be done. I managed to snap a few shots but not before it was picked over. I didn't have enough time to get set up and they just picked out of the boxes, so these pictures are not the best.

Workshop!

I will be offering one class before Christmas,

 in my studio here at my home. 

It will be the week before Christmas on 

Tuesday - December 20. 

It will be at 5:30 

Dinner and refreshments

I would love to celebrate this time of year with you!

The class will teach basic soldering 

and you will be making a glass tube ornament

Christmas Ornament Class

Due to the late posting of this class, this may not fill, if that be the case I will refund your money and post another date after the new year.

On a footnote here... I would like to make a statement on my convictions and they are mine alone concerning what I make, sell and teach. If you have another way of thinking that is great. 
With the internet and so many ways to see one another's art work, not to mention publications and so forth, it is impossible to think you are an original. I have yet to see a piece of work that is truly an original. Somewhere along life's path you were inspired by something or someone's work. Believe me someone somewhere did it before you or me. I myself believe in networking and encouraging my friends, customers, students, fellow artists... shop keepers. I have always had this philosophy, to the point where I have helped people open a shop across the street from me that copied my designs to the letter... ha! (that tested me)  Anyway my point is, if someone gets an idea from me or takes a class from me... I expect them to soar, I expect them to take my idea and build on it... hopefully make it their own and grow.  That is the true reflection of my work.
 If you sell something I made... good for you! I have been in this business way too long to not know my priorities.

 Please let us all encourage each other in the spirit of loving kindness and gratefulness.

I hope all of you are enjoying this Christmas season!

I will be joining Debra for her Vintage Friday

Blessings to all of you 

Rebecca
