New to Etsy?

I found this great guide for those people who are new to Etsy shopping. It can be quite confusing at first, but this page contains everything you need to know to optimize your Etsy shopping experience. Now get out there and find some awesome handmade stuff! (like the photo above...I know, I'm shameless :))

Etsy on Martha!

Rob Kalin, founder of Etsy, was on Martha Stewart this afternoon! Hurray for advertising! Watch this web-exclusive interview,

where he answers the mysterious questions of why and how Etsy came to be.

This is my favorite scarflette we've produced so far, I just had to share it! It's the first in our new line of dyed scarflettes, and it's fleece lined, so soft and cozy! And, of course, it can be found in our Etsy shop (http://stirdesigns.etsy.com)!

and so it begins...

Hello!! I decided today is the day for starting a blog. It has always seemed like fun, although a bit intimidating. I just decided to go for it! Well, first things first, introductions! I am Stephanie Foster, the daughter half of Stir Designs, which is a mother/daughter partnership in which we create functional pieces of art using a variety of mediums, mainly using my hand dyed fabric. My degree in Textile Design has come in handy! We make an assortment of accessories including purses, scarves, and brooches, as well as knit scarves, and I do a bit of ceramic work as well. I have a hard time deciding between clay and textiles, to be honest! Some day I will come up with something that involves both. Soon I will have lots of photos up here for the viewing pleasure of all...I just need a little sleep first. Ta-ta for now!
