The Fabric Barn is a one stop shop for both buyers and sellers alike. They carry a variety of commercial and handmade fabrics, gift bags, tags, and more, many of which imported from around the world and can be hard to find. In addition to supplies, The Fabric Barn is also open to custom graphic work, from Etsy banners to web ads.I don't know about you, but I personally enjoy getting business

If you're a headband fan like me, you'll absolutely flip for the huge selection of cute and stylish designs. There are so many choices, I'm sure everyone would be able to find one that fits their individual style and personality. You can find everything to silk brocades to hearts and skulls. Some headbands are even reversible so you can get twice the use out of one.Each headband is carefully hand

Everybody, meet my buddy Trisha (aka Twiggy) and she is my special buddy with a wicked amount of talent. We went to high school together and met (in art class) during my junior year (her senior year). We also had physics together (where I helped her cheat, haha). And I can honestly say that she's one of the most talented people I know.I had the pleasure of seeing her work in person, both finished

I like to read tarot cards for myself as a hobby. So I was searching around Etsy for a good journal to write my thoughts and observations. Lo and behold I came upon a "Divination" Harry Potter textbook type journal by Celestefrittata. Looking around her shop I saw other incredibly beautiful Harry Potter themed journals as well as stunning custom items for your own shop.Each pocket-sized journal

So I bought this sweet strapless dress at the thrift store today. Unfortunately the top part is slightly bigger than I am. I was in love with it, so I bought it anyways.So I'm looking around for people or tailor shops that can make it a little smaller and take in the waist a few inches.I've never had any tailor work done so I don't know what is a good price and what's ripping me off.Does anyone

I am a lip product junkie. So I picked up a tube of Roxie Lip Color by Ingero when I was searching for new lip color products on Etsy. I picked the Passion shade (the pomegranate shade is pictured above), which was described as a natural pink with a berry scent. A few days later it came in the mail.First off, I love the color. It is a natural pink with gold undertones. It makes your lips look

I've never really ran across something that I thought was copying, I know people have similar ideas but other times it's very questionable. What would you do in the situation? Inform the person being copied or just ignore it because it's really none of your business? As a seller, would you like to know?I was searching around Etsy today and I came across and item that looked incredibly similar to

I love fragrances and I can't get enough. So when I ran into BITP's huge selection of scents, I decided to give them a try. I've been looking for a lemonade type scent and saw that they carried a Raspberry Lemonade fragrance. Eagerly I purchased one roll on bottle.A few days later, I received a cute package in the mail. My roll on was packaged in a cute cellophane bag with ribbons. When I opened

In my search for lychee flavored/scented products, I ran across this lip balm from You Stink Soap. I've been looking for a balm that will soften out my dried out lips. So I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad that I did.So, I ordered myself a tube and a few days later it was eagerly waiting in my mailbox. Despite the reasonably hot weather we've been having, the balm arrived solid without

I'm in search of advice from those who journal. I have this beautiful silver embossed black journal that's been laying around unused for years. So I've decided to put it to good use. However, I've never been really good at journaling, I write something and then I decide that I don't want it in there anymore. I usually write in pen, so erasing really isn't an option.So for all of the people out

Well, I just found out that my friend had to give his kitten away to the humane shelter because his landlord found out about him. Since they're not allowed to have pets in their apartment, it was either get rid of the kitty or get kicked out.I'm going to miss that little guy...even though he always scratched me up and begged for my food. I've never had a cat and he was the closest thing to it.

There are sketchbooks, and then there are one of a kind record sketchbooks by Catch & Release. These sketchbooks are made in batches of 30, each being unique and unlike any of the others.They say you can't judge a book by the cover, but in this case the inside pages are as beautiful and unique as the cover itself. Unlike normal sketchbooks, the pages are comprised of more than just blank white

Yup. I saw this sweet layout over at Jackbook.com and decided to give it a try. It's a little different then most of the other templates I've used the past so I'm going to be working on it throughout the day. There are a few technical problems that need to be fixed as well, but all of the important things are still here.Hmm, something odd is going on. I just checked Jackbook again and it seems

I was digging through my drawers yesterday when I happen to stumble upon my Tarot Card deck. I have the Animals Divine set by Lisa Hunt. They're beautifully illustrated cards, but it seems that one of them has disappeared. I can no longer find V The High Priest. I remember taking it out for a reason, but I can't remember where I put it. And now I can't find it. Fortunately I heard that the
