I'm having a sale today at MY STORE. My sale would be for one day, but for this blog post...I am extending my sale until April 1. It's my grandma's birthday on April 1 so I want to extend it up to her birthday. She's gone now in heaven...but if she's alive and knows I have this store in Etsy...I'm sure she'll be glad.

It just came back recently, a feature called Alchemy in Etsy. I have no idea what it was before until I got a newsletter update from Etsy about this feature.
Alchemy is a feature where you can request a custom handmade item. It's a great feature especially if you can't find a particular item in Etsy using the search window. At the same time, for buyers, it's a shortcut to find the seller who can make the item for you and for sellers, it's a way to reach out to their buyers.
Sellers or artists will make a bid on your request and you will pick which is one will suit your requirement. I've worked previously in an ad agency and this just reminds me of making a pitch. You basically pitch for the customer's requirements.
My first Alchemy request is a Bistro Chalkboard. When I made a bid, I sent the buyer a sample sketch of what I can make for her. Here's the sketch of the bistro chalkboard:
If you haven't gone to the Alchemy feature in Etsy, check it out. Somebody out there might be able to take your request.
Don't forget to read first also the Alchemy Guidelines.
Yup...I'm posting this up...40% off to all items in the shop (excluding shipping) until October 31. I have finished some of my new items but I'd like to clear up my shop before I post them.
On top of that, free shipping to all jewelries (for US & CANADA purchases).
Feel free to swing by my Etsy store to see what you can get. Thanks!
I recently joined a group called Designing Swanky Moms and I'm glad to have joined it. Designing Swanky Moms or DSM is group of moms who devote their time with their kids at home and create great handmade crafts at the same time. Right now, the group members is up at 104 and continuously growing. Check out DSM members at Etsy by searching DSM.
If you happen to wonder here in my blogsite...please visit my online store. I just opened it and am trying to keep building my inventories.
You can see the preview of my store at the left side of this site. Thanks!
