Frame Sale!

In honor of the upcoming Craft Fairs in our area, (it's a pretty big deal) I'm having a Sale on all Frames on my Etsy site! Each frame is now just $15 (which is $5 to $7 off regular price.) Go check them out and remember if you live in Northwest AR, I will be happy to waive the shipping charge!

My New ETSY Shop!

When I first opened Fiddlesticks several months ago, I first pondered whether I should open my own shop on Etsy.com. I thought I'd start slow & small with this blog and gain confidence to "maybe someday" open my own Etsy shop. Well, today is that day, folks!

I would love for you to go visit (and bookmark) my new shop:
www.LindsArt.Etsy.com
(aka Fiddlesticks by LindsArt) I could not change my pre-existing username on Etsy, so I'm going with the flow but trying to keep the Fiddlesticks name.

I will continue to post updates on this blog and link customers to my Etsy site. However, Etsy makes it so much easier to purchase art, frames, and other goodies that I create~and I can ship them anywhere in the world. If you're local to NW AR and would like to purchase an item you see on my Etsy site, please leave me a comment on this blog so I can try to get it to you without charging you shipping.

If you aren't familiar with Etsy, go check it out. It's a wonderful home for all things handmade. I've enjoyed shopping and browsing it over the last several years and it's a great community!

I am quickly getting items for sale uploaded, so please check back frequently to see all that I have to offer! Thanks for your support!
