ETSY FRONT PAGE (GINKO LEAF DISH)


Well I was checking my stats on Google Analytics this morning and seen that I had a lot of views in my etsy shop yesterday and was not sure why,so I done some searching around and found out that my Ginko Leaf Dish was featured on the front page of etsy on Fri. 1-30-09. This is a great honor for me to be on the front page of etsy again, this makes the 5th time that I know of that I have made the front page. I really love Google Analytics, I might not have known I made the the front page if I didn't have it on my etsy shop. Thanks Etsy!!

Yin Yang Necklace


Here is my new Yin Yang Necklace that I put in my Etsy Shop.
The meaning of Yin-Yang
This Symbol(Yin-Yang) represents the ancient Chinese understanding of how things work. The outer circle represents "everything", while the black and white shapes within the circle represent the interaction of two energies, called "yin" (black) and "yang" (white), which cause everything to happen. They are not completely black or white, just as things in life are not completely black or white, and they cannot exist without each other.
While "yin" would be dark, passive, downward, cold, contracting, and weak, "yang" would be bright, active, upward, hot, expanding, and strong. The shape of the yin and yang sections of the symbol, actually gives you a sense of the continual movement of these two energies, yin to yang and yang to yin, causing everything to happen: just as things expand and contract, and temperature changes from hot to cold.

Twitter

Well I just joined Twitter last night,
I am still learning about the whole Internet thing so everyone will have to bare with me while I get my marbles in order. If anyone has any tips or comments they want to share please let me know.
Also I wanted to let everyone know even with the bad economy that I made 17 sales at the holiday show in New York City, mostly small ticket items but that is OK ! a sale is a sale and it was a great HONOR for me to be in the show, a new experience for me.
Thanks, Darryl
