is your heart throbbing yet? i was like butter over warm toast as i flipped through the dresses of sarah seven this morning. the frill, femininity, lace, and modern tones with an old world style work so wonderfully. the beautiful soft colors and materials are all so flowy, i can just feel myself wearing one right now!

have you joined flickr yet? flickr is a place to share your photos, and can also be used as a social networking site (we needed another one, right?). flickr is fun to get involved with though. it’s an easy way to share your photos with family, share your work with consumers or show off a little amateur photography.
it’s free, easy to join, and allows you to upload your photos quickly and sort them into albums. so what does this have to do with your business? when people see your work on flickr, they may just make it all the way to your etsy shop. not only can you upload images of your products, design process and creative spaces, you can begin joining relative groups and adding your photos to them.
by adding your photos to flickr groups , you can further expand your online presence, exposing more people to your work, photography or passions. most bloggers or editors will browse flickr looking for inspiration and fresh talent, so it’s a worthy source to consider! the more groups you join and the more photos you add to them, the more exposure you’ll get.
*search for flickr groups here
you can also add contacts on flickr. no need for approval (like facebook) but by adding contacts, you’ll be able to see a stream of their latest work on your homepage. the more contacts you make, the more will contact you back, and the more people will see your work. see where i’m going with this?
note: flickr doesn’t allow you to post a link to your shop in your photo descriptions (you could get the boot!) but you can use your shop name and use keywords like ‘etsy, handmade, jewelry, pottery’ etc.
ready to join flickr, or better yet, a group? to help get you started, i’m happy to introduce the brand new…
feel free to join and share with us how you roost. whether it’s your decorating, creating, gardening, homesteading, studio, or anything else- you can add your photos that show us how you roost. and, you can bet i’ll be browsing for inspiration and new roosters!
who will be the first? ;)

when i’m at the market, i try to pick at least one thing that i have no idea what to do with. my last adventure? fennel. fennel has always been a bit of a mystery to me, but i’m happy to report that not only is it easy to fix, it’s absolutely delicious too!
by roasting the bulbs, you bring out all the yummy flavors of the earthy, licorice fennel. if you slice it thin enough, it even gets a little crunchy. yum yum yum! do you have any tricks to fixing fennel?

bird and bloke is owned by a couple in love with each other and photography, living in ann arbor, michigan. even though each of these pictures represents the road to nowhere, don’t they each take you somewhere? i can feel myself walking in each of these pictures and what’s just around the corner. it’s been really fun to use these as a starting point and see where my imagination takes me. if i could go anywhere right now, i would cross that wooden bridge to the meadow beyond, fluff out my blanket and read all day.
where would you go?

i believe i’ve sprung for spring.
monday already? whew! this weekend flew by! but it sure was lovely. temperatures were in the low 60’s and i was able to spend tons of time outside, a little book reading and even a little oscar watching. how was your weekend?
i can’t get enough of this artist. living in pittsburgh, pa mundania gathers inspiration from the city surrounding her. she sees the old demolished only to be rebuilt in a new way for a new life. her artwork at re:constructing ideas so vividly reflects paying homage to the past while embracing the present, it’s beautiful journey to look through them all!
“I was surrounded by the looming remnants of steelmills, abandoned warehouses and weather-worn advertisements emblazoned on the sides of buildings. All of them put there one time with a purpose, still remain there tarnished and a testament to time, the way it changes, the way it doesn’t change anything.” - Mundania Horvath
