Some things sure, but not as a rule. So, vintage sellers on Etsy don't always capture my attention. But, this seller sure did and got added to my favs. Today's shop is <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/rachiesplace">rachiesplace</a>! The first thing that drew me into this shop is the pyrex she has for sale. Cookware just isn't made like it was years ago, and this stuff rocks! She has many other items for sale too. I'm sure there is something for everyone. Here are a few things I really like:<div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42366060"><img src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_430xN.129100002.jpg" alt="Pink Dish Drying Rack" /> </a></div><div><br /></div><div>You can't go wrong with pink, can you?</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=40577606"><img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_430xN.122986364.jpg" alt="Pyrex Blue Wheat Hostess Casserole" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Here's that Pyrex.

Takes you back a few years! There are a lot of vintage sellers on<a href="http://www.etsy.com/"> Etsy</a>, me included. They have lots of cool stuff in their shops, so be sure to check them out!

Right now I am taking sellers out of my favorites list, but hope to continue doing this and feature other sellers too as I find them. Today I am going to show you <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/WickedSoaps">Wicked Soaps</a>!<div><br /></div><div>First of all I love the name!

She has been a fav of mine for awhile because she has really awesome jewelry! I decided last week that I would start with her shop, and the next day she became the featured seller on Etsy's homepage! How funny is that! Congrats to her, I feel she deserves it as she has a great product! Here are a few of my favorites:<div><br /></div><div>This is a pretty and fun little necklace-<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39293483">http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39293483</a></div><div><br /></div><div>This one is so neat and could be personalized for so many things-<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36874815">http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36874815</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Cute little earrings-<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=38788417">http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=38788417</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Please check out her shop and support her and other Etsy sellers!

It's too easy to forget and too easy to ignore. Maybe I should have made that my new year's resolution! Anyway...<div>I have Valentine's cards up in my <a href="http://www.posdesigns.etsy.com">Etsy shop</a>. I am loving them. I've never been big on making cards, but I think I have found my groove. For one thing the reds and pinks are really inspiring me. And, for some reason I just have tons of ideas floating around in my head! Hoping to add a few more before the holiday is here. If you want something different then what I have for sale, don't be afraid to contact me! Either here on the blog, or through my Etsy shop on the conversation page. Here's a pic of the latest one I have added. I think it's my fav so far!</div></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitrmgRHmGEcV8-yxBKiLhqvNszTLwkBYJr13SLW_uQJ4xloE9maLNfD7C4nliPwPDwnsM8jc21QDqKitEmHAm1Lcv-aFjhKSnr7AZGTu5E6QVqE3y-ldivV0GbGXOJlYFpGQOZRi1ZRN8/s1600-h/blue+heart+card+close+up+web+size.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitrmgRHmGEcV8-yxBKiLhqvNszTLwkBYJr13SLW_uQJ4xloE9maLNfD7C4nliPwPDwnsM8jc21QDqKitEmHAm1Lcv-aFjhKSnr7AZGTu5E6QVqE3y-ldivV0GbGXOJlYFpGQOZRi1ZRN8/s320/blue+heart+card+close+up+web+size.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428910220429107650" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div>I also want to point out that Josta & Co. started their own <a href="http://www.jostaandco.blogspot.com">blog</a> recently. Please be sure to check them out on there and on Etsy. Hopefully they will be using their blog to share family stories and ideas about their jewelry making. It will be fun to see how it progresses for them! </div><div><br /></div><div>And, finally, my latest idea. I am wanting to feature an Etsy shop/seller here on my blog probably twice a week. I think for now I will showcase some of my favs and some of my fav items and go from there. Possibly in the future I will make it a bigger thing. Maybe including interviews and links to their other sites if they have any. Not sure, still kind of playing with this idea. But, please check back and check out the other Etsy sellers and their handmade goodies. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Piece Of Scrap Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12159352768557660828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794185957644746087.post-69663865131978107622010-01-08T13:56:00.002-06:002010-01-08T13:59:45.004-06:00Table LinensI've put up some vintage table linens in my <a href="http://www.posdesigns.etsy.com">Etsy</a> shop.

Right now I just have 3 photos for sale but I have plans to add more soon. Please be sure to check it out! The link is on the side of this blog and I will post it here. <div><a href="http://posdesigns.etsy.com">posdesigns.etsy.com</a></div><div><br /></div>Piece Of Scrap Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12159352768557660828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794185957644746087.post-62958446423687751682009-11-01T18:01:00.005-06:002009-11-01T19:57:14.043-06:00Photo Enhancement-let me explain<div style="text-align: left;">Let me explain and show you what I mean when I say photo enhancement. What I want to offer you here is the opportunity to take your own photos and add a few extra touches to them so that they look like a professional took them. Now, I'm not saying your photography skills are not that of a pro, but I'm also not saying that I can make your skills improve that much. ; ) But, what I am saying is that we all have a nice photo at home that we took of the kids, of our pets, of our family, or maybe of our flower beds. It's a good photo and we like it, but before we blow it up, frame it, and hang it on the wall, we wish we could add something speical to it. We think about the pictures we have purchased from the professional photographer and how they had that look. The special frame to the photo, the vintage sepia tint or black and white color of it, the kind of cloudy look to the background that makes the subject really stand out. Well, this is what I want to do for you!</div><div>Send me a full size file of your image. Either in an email or on a CD. Then I will take that photo and add those special touches to it. Those neat, cool, fancy little touches that you want on your photo. Then I will put the full size image file on a CD for you and give you your photo back to do with as you wish. After all, it is your photo. You can print it out, have it blown up and framed, or post it to your blog or website. </div><div>As I mentioned in the sidebar on this blog; what is done to the photo is up to you. Maybe it just needs a color touch up or a little lightening up. I can do that. Or, maybe you want it to really stand out as a special vintage looking shot. Or, maybe you want a grungy and fun look to it. If you have an idea, I will try to follow that idea to my best abilities. But, if you don't have any ideas, I can use my own creativity and see what I come up with. That is, of course, up to you. </div><div>Of course, I would appreciate being given credit for the work on your photo. Especially if you really like how it turned out. Word of mouth<b> is</b> one of the best selling tools! I hope that my customers will be returning customers and will also be telling their friends and family about my service. </div><div>Please email me if you are interested in this service. We can discuss rates at that time also. </div><div><br /></div><div>Here are a few examples of what can be done with photos. There are A LOT more options, but these are a couple of examples. </div><div><br /></div><div>Here is an example of a photo that was given a very vintage look. This is my grandniece. First, I cropped out her mom's legs as much as I could in the background. This really puts the focus on the little girl. Then I gave it a sepia color tone. Then I did some hand tinting. Making her cheeks a little pinker. It's reminiscent of the photos from the 20's.

This is my new blog for my new "business" Piece of Scrap Designs. I am just getting all things set up, including this blog, an etsy site, and other various things. I plan to use this blog to showcase my new items, new projects, and new ideas! I still have my other personal blog at <a href="posscrapping.blogspot.com">posscrapping.blogspot.com</a> and I will talk about everyday life, scrapping, and other nonsense on that blog. This one will be mostly for the business side of things. Please join me on my new journey. It may be slow at first as I get everything started and up to par. But, please bear with me and keep checking back!Piece Of Scrap Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12159352768557660828noreply@blogger.com0
