New Day, New Post

Sorry, havent been around. Things got a little hectic with the Avon and had to let DM know I am not recruiting for awhile. My sales went down, used too much gas and money and time and these people won't take anything seriously. So anyway......

I thought you might like to see some pics of our swamp we live by. Yes, there are alligators, and snakes, and wild hogs.

I like to take my walks by here. You can feel so much power coming off this area. I've had some folks say they can feel fear here having to do with war. Yeah, the Trail of Tears is said to have come by here. We have Indian spirits here, especially little children, running around, playing with sticks. They've scared a few people.

Well, I've had tons of views on artfire, but no sales yet. Some people say only vintage is selling. some say only supplies. I don't know. My mom and sis are on etsy and they are making a killing. I was on there and couldn't sell anything. Some people have it and some people don't, I guess.

I am planning on being a vendor at a Paralounge Drum gathering coming up in October. We'll see how that goes.

Moved to artfire

I have moved from Etsy to Artfire. I discovered this site and like the terms better. You can find my shop at http://www.artfire.com/users/SilverwillowDesigns.

Today is "the family" birthday party. There are 6 of us having a birthday this month. Me, Mom, Stepdad, stepsister, stepbrother and my one and only grandson! He was 3 on the 13th. I've included some pics of his day. He was blowing bubbles all over the house. Bubbles is one of his favorite things. His mouth is very blue, because he had an ice cream cake with red and blue icing on it and he ate all the icing off his and then wanted ours! The girl in the picture with him is my daughter and his mother. His name is Jazen and hers is Chelsea.

Flea market

I was at the flea market today selling my wares. I set up every weekend, usually just on Saturday, but today I decided to do Sunday also. I'm trying to get $50 together this weekend to rent a building for a month and sell 3 days a week. I'm trying to expose my stuff more often. I sell Avon and my pagan crafts and some odds and ends I have accumulated.

Being in a small town is hard to sell pagan stuff, but I do meet a few people now and then who know what I have and are interested. Today, for instance, a lady noticed my rune sets and said her daughter would be interested. Most of what I did today was Avon.

I am recruiting Avon Reps right now. The DM is really pushing us on that. I keep feeling that sooner or later there might be too many of us around here.Anyway, my Avon website is www.youravon.com/soniakimball. You can also order there and have it shipped directly to you. How cool is that?

I've included some more pics from my etsy shops.

Another blogger, another day

Hi guys! Guess what? I'm another blogger. Okay, you say, enough already. But let me introduce myself. My name is, shall we say, SilverWillow. Fellow pagans of a sort will know that as a magical name. Silver is my favorite style of jewelry and willow is my favorite tree. But why in a pink house? Well, I love the shabby chic look. I love roses and pink and white and vintage.

I also want to introduce you to my two etsy shops. One of them is for my pagan items that I make http://sdckimball.etsy.com/

The other is for my shabby chic items, both vintage and handmade http://wildpinkroses.etsy.com/

I've included a few pics from each. Please visit my shops and let me know what you think and maybe give me some ideas. Thanks a lot!
