New Etsy and Boutique Showcase

Are you looking for a fun way to discover beautiful products?

Or maybe you are an artist who sells on Etsy

or your own Web Boutique and are interested in

another venue for showcasing your craft.

Monday Marketplace has made its debut today!

Today -- and every Monday --

Common Ground will allow their blog friends

to post a link to a specific product available

for sale on Etsy or a Web Boutique.  

This is SPECIAL.

Most "link parties" specifically exclude

promoting items that are for sale.  

So, whether you are a small business

selling vintage items or amazing creations,

or you are a shopper looking for these types of items,

visit Monday Marketplace.

This is the place 

where vintage, handmade or unique products

will be found.

A New Image for the New Year

A natural tendency at the beginning of a New Year is to make a fresh start to our activities and routines.  

For me, it was time to "redecorate" this blog page that is now six months old.

My former banner was fairly simple.

Some of the goals for the redesign:

• Enhance with more color
• Showcase some favorite dolls
• Exhibit whimsy or playfulness

The process started with the addition of some photographs of favorite dolls.   I tried different arrangements for these photos but the banner still looked a bit reserved and needed more pop.

On-line digital scrapbook sites provided inspiration.  The blue dot background and scrapbook embellishments helped achieve the desired look for the page.   Thanks to Marie Stones at freedigitalscrapbooking.com for the materials available for free download via her site.  

Each of you have shared so much knowledge in your posts and by example on your pages.  Thanks for guiding this newbie and offering your tips. 


Do you like the new look?

Visit again soon,
