Allright!

I've been busy, busy, busy, lately, promoting Paraphernalia and building my new portfolio, but, of course, the best publicity is the one you can't buy! I've been featured on the front page of Etsy not once, but twice this week! Huzzah! It was really quite fantastic.

After a couple of hiccups with my suppliers, all the orders should be done and ready to go tomorrow to their respective new owners, and it's always a big thrill to send my little old necklaces to the four corners of the globe.

The first time I was featured also gave me the much needed boost of finally putting up the new collection up in the shop, and it's also been selling well! It's called Fauna, and there should be some cute mammals up by the end of the week. I was also contacted to sell wholesale, and am investigating some consignment options, which I'm very excited about!

I got a whole bunch of prints in the mail yesterday, and I think it's time to open the Andorinha shop. Soon, very soon! Wedding invitations (in the form of postcards) have also been ordered, dress and favour buying scheduled in Portugal for the last week of March, and everything seems to be going swimmingly.

I'm tired, but elated. It's a fantastic feeling when things seem to really start going your way and you actually make money out of doing something you love.

I'll update more as soon as I open the print shop!
