We love Etsy

As we continue to grow and serve brides all over the world, we have found that Etsy is one of most important tools to reach the creative bride. If you surf the net, which I have spent many hours doing, it is so hard to find anything unique. Most sites have the same inventory of flip flop, elephant, snowflake....I have even seen Hawaiian shirt place card holders. What is a bride to do? In the multitude of wedding sites out there The Funky Shack website has been found by many of those brides and wedding planners. It is so cool that Etsy is able to help us reach even more people searching for just the right party and wedding decor. In fact, if you see something on our blog that is not listed on our website, most likely it will be in our Etsy store. There are just two of us running this show and we have found that if we want to quickly list a product Etsy is the place. We have been working on our website, but it is a work in progress, totally functional but there is so much more we are working towards.
Of course we tweet and follow others we think are important in the business and our FaceBook fan page has been quite a hit. Check us out!!

They would also look be great for postcards, menus, signs, place cards, escort cards, table numbers and so much more! The hand cut 2 1/2" blocks are all slightly different and have a unique wood grain pattern that shows gently through the black stain. Sizes and be customized from 5" to 10" tall. We can also offer them in white and brown and you can choose the silver or the rustic wire.

The Adventure Begins

So I did it!! After 24 years in the restaurant business, I took that leap of faith to come on board full time with Jennifer at The Funky Shack!! It was a long time coming and the decision, though a little scary and a lot out of my comfort zone, felt so right. Jennifer is my sister , my BFF, and we spend the day working, brainstorming, laughing and planning the rest of out lives. It is a perfect situation, but what would make it more perfect is if Tami, our other sister and BFF would come join us!!!

My job title, Studio Manager, sounds very chic. It pretty much includes a little of everything from stopping at Starbuck's to get my "boss" coffee, making lunch for the kids, all the paperwork, packing, painting and everything "computer." I have to say I love every minute of it! I can go to work in my pj's, kick my shoes off and dig in.

The test is going to be this summer trying to work and keep five kids(6yrs. 7yrs, 7yrs, 10yrs, and 13yrs.) busy and productive. We have somewhat come up with a plan now it is time to enact and hold ourselves accountable. It is going to take a lot of organization from two Moms who usually just "wing it."

It is not going to be business as usual this summer. Our plan is to aggressively attack and conquer the world of weddings and party decor. We pretty much have decided that our husbands work too hard running around to make extra money and it is our goal to grow and land at some financial peace.

Check back because I will be starting a seperate blog to share this adventure with you!
