Christmas in July!

Pop by the shop today to get a sneak preview of some adorable mini Christmas stockings that are currently listed. They are at an introductory price while I dream of cooler days (it's scorching in Miami this week!) and knit with wool trying to imagine hot cocoa, warm blankets, and snow falling.

The size of these stockings makes them perfect for gifting small items like candy, jewelry, or gift certificates. They are also darling as holiday table place settings and can easily be adapted to hang on a holiday tree.

Although my first love is paper, I have been slowly working my way back to some fiber work lately. I have a new shop opening soon which will exclusively showcase my knitting and crochet projects: ahnalee marie.

This Team Rocks My Socks

I was super lucky with the mouse yesterday and snagged a treasury, which I quickly devoted to our awesome Etsy Team: EtsyGreetings. Click on the image above to visit the treasury and see all the wonderful cards from my fellow team members.

Such a great group of artists, I gush just thinking about them. Want to know what we're up to?

* We've got a great Business Buddy program happening with the JET team.

* We have a cooperative purchase in the works to save everyone a little $ on, get this, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY cello sleeves for our cards.

* The awesome brainchild of one of our members, Mission Soldier Support, delivers lovely handmade cards to our troops.

* Another incredible idea from one of our members: An ongoing pricing data collection to help us as a team figure out the magic behind pricing greeting cards at Etsy!

I can't say enough about this team!!

New in the Shop: Stationery Sets and More!

Bright, cheerful, and super functional, I have 2 new stationery sets available in the shop. There are more to come in additional colors (you can post requests in the comments if you'd like!). Each has 3 full-size greeting cards (3.5 x 5 inches) plus two gift cards.

Also just added are a new set of 10 adhesive gift tags and a great set of 6 cheery happy birthday cards.

Great to give your personal stationery box a little boost, or give as a thanks-for-dinner, thanks-for-babysitting, thanks-for-whatever gifts :).
