Whew! I am revamping my etsy shop. Who knew it would take so long 😂
...I have 4 active listings. Baby steps and determination will get me there. Just not fast enough!

I also wanted to share on here some tips with staining/painting, etc...🤔 Maybe some diy projects...

Check out what I have so far on Etsy.... As always, just message me if you see something on this page but it isn't listed on etsy. Some products go to the brick and morter shop, some products goes on etsy, some are sold before they make it to either.

Inspiration courtsey of my kids.... Who always sit on the arm of the chair I am sitting in and when I ask them what they need....They always reply... "A hug"
