Thank you to everyone that checked out my new Featured Seller’s Featurettes and filled out a questionaire. I am so surprised at the response and I am so happy to be able to spread some creativity around!
If you would like a featurette and have an online shop, be it Etsy, Artfire, Dawanda, etc, check out becoming a Featured Seller!
On to my very first Featured Seller.....
From the Etsy community, we have Jen!
She is a busy lady with not one but two shops - Squidooink, where you will find a ton of assorted crafts and destash, and Somewear In Tyme, carrying delicate times past inspired jewelry/vintage items.
Here are Jen’s favorite items from her two shops:
On A Wing steampunk earrings - SomewhereinTymeI love the length and how it has wings and clock pieces in it. Its so unusual looking to me |
Giraffe says Love - Baby congratulations card - Squidooink |
I've always loved giraffe's and had to incorporate one in my shop somewhere :)” Me too! I hear giraffes and foxes are next!
Tell us a bit about yourself. I'm terribly at these so here it goes. I am as some tell me a "crafty oozing out of my pores" type girl. I am always making new items, or writing, or reading. Always doing something creative and sometimes I sleep. My two shops kinda opened by chance I think, I never really intended to actually sell my work. Shortly after being forced to move and having my heart broken I open Somewear in Tyme. I don't think it would have ever opened if I hadn't had that happen to me. Squidooink was created way before Somewear In Tyme but after I learned how to make jewelery.
How did you start your craft? I learned jewelry in high school and kept at it, ripping apart anything I could find and making it into jewelry. Then a friend of mind got me into paper crafting, the rest is history ;) shortly after that I wanted to learn how to knit so I taught myself.
Besides creating, what do you like to do? Read and write my own stories, I would love to have a story of mine published one day.
How do you promote your work? The etsy forums, anyone I met, I wear my work, or offer crafting services to anyone, spread my moo cards everywhere

Thank You!
