Saturday Night Specials

Saturday Night Specials on Etsy! Every Saturday evening between 5 PM EST and 6 AM EST, Etsy sellers post special sales in their shops, and wow, there are some great deals. Let's see, my items are 20% off during this sale, and it's the only sale I participate in regularly. The sellers list their specials on a forum thread that is started new each Saturday under the Promotions section.

Here's the link for this week's Saturday Night Specials thread! http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5206636

Have fun shopping! I sure do!

I Just Joined...

http://indiepublic.com/ What a nice site for networking with other artisans! You can share photos of your work, videos and join special interest groups. I joined the Land of Etsy and the Great Lakes Michigan groups!

And speaking of Etsy, every Saturday evening from 5 PM - 6AM EST, there is a forum thread called Saturday Night Specials (under the heading of Promotions). Sellers post special sales in their shops and usually offer great deals. I'm one of the moderators once a month and tonight I am proud to be the host. There is another thread (under Etc.) called the SNS Chat where sellers participating can chat and get to know each other. Come join us! It's a fun time and of course some incredible shopping for handmade goods of all kinds!

A Big Thank You!

To the Etsy Glass Artists Street Team for featuring me and me work on their blog! Here's the link to the feature article: http://etsyglass.com/blog/index.php/2007/08/07/etsy-bead-artist-judy-russell-beadbug/.

It all began when I used a fused glass cabochon made by willowglass of Etsy in the brooch below. I love combining other components with seed beads! Another example of combining shows in the earrings below made with Czechoslovakian moonglow buttons.
