I am so excited to share something my sweet daughter-in-law, Colleen and I have been up to the past couple of weeks. We started a little Etsy Shop together, and I could not be more proud of her and her beautiful work, so I wanted to share with all of you wonderful LifeinBetween friends.
Colleen takes reclaimed pallet wood and creates beautiful rustic home decor and signs.
She takes buttons and burlap and creates sweet little works of art (several have sold already for baby nurseries! a little blue whale and a toy sailboat!)
She paints beautiful sayings and adds country charm to each piece she hand makes with love and such attention to quality and detail.
I’ve added a few of my favorite little watercolors that I’ve turned into prints and made into cards – selling them in singles and boxed sets.
From our first sale, we got a Five Star Review:
Thank you, Maggie!
So I hope you don’t mind me sharing here and asking if you can help us spread the word. Will you share with your friends and give us a “favorite” on Etsy, a “like” and/or “share” on Facebook, and follow us on Instagram too?
And maybe you’ll even find something you like or a gift for someone you love. Here is a little gallery of some of our products.
I look forward to hearing what you think, and we would appreciate any ideas for products, suggestions for promotion, and general feedback on what you like or don’t like about it.
Thanks for letting me share, and thanks in advance to those of you that are willing to help us out and spread the word and share with your friends.
Cheers & Hugs
Jodi

beautiful work, jodi – best of luck to both of you )

I’m following you on Instagram and Facebook and added you to favourites on Etsy. I didn’t check but do you ship to Canada? One artist that I follow and now has her art on Etsy, doesn’t ship to Canada. I had my credit card out and was ready to purchase when I saw the ‘shipping to the U.S. only’ button. Very disappointing.
