upcoming events

The ETC team is kicking off the holiday shopping season early with lots of great online specials and local events! Here's what's happening in early November.

Online Events
<-- This month our team member, Tsurubride, is a featured seller on Etsy! We're so excited for her!
  • Grace Hester is running a giveaway for 100 printed brochures on her blog. Just sign up for her newsletter or leave a comment and you could win some nice promotional materials, or even print up your yearly family newsletter in style!
  • Now thru midnight 10/31, Adornments by Karla is having "Crazy October Deals" in her shop - Buy 2, Get 1 Free! Yep. Purchase any two items, receive the third FREE (equal or lesser value). Better hurry, though, October is almost over!
  • Amy is now offering online parties, bridal registries, and showers. For shows of at least $100 the hostess will receive 20% of sales (less the shipping/taxes to be applied toward the purchase of Amy's hand-painted products) and will also be able to purchase items at a special price during the party. Shows can include any items from either http://www.aressa.etsy.com or http://www.aamilou.etsy.com. Or, have a custom item made at no extra cost. Contact Amy for details. It's easy and a wonderful way to get presents for the upcoming holidays!

  • Mary Moon has marked down a bunch of her bags and purses and put them in the "SALE SALE SALE" section of her Etsy shop . . . another great way to stock up on cute gifts for the holidays. ---->

Bare Limbs

Autumn is a time for stripping away the gaudy clothes of summer, and a time for reflecting on the purity and essence of nature. When the leaves fall, a whole new world is revealed. The framework of each tree is exposed, stark and beautiful.

This blog post is dedicated to WOOD.
