Etsy Kick Start

Week 2 of OEKS is featuring Pavinee from MerryDay

Here’s the quick bio:

Hello! My name is Pavinee. I am a freelance graphic designer. I work mostly on book design but if you could look at my sketchbooks, I think you would tell how much I love to draw cute, whimsical things! After spending a couple of years browsing, admiring and buying some beautiful things on Etsy, I realized that I wanted to become a part of such inspiring community too. It would be a great way to improve my skill in both design and illustration while hopefully earning some extra money ;-)

MerryDay is a shop featuring cute, whimsical paper goods. All illustration come from my everyday doodles, drawn, colored and put together in various design formats. You can find my cute drawings on prints, cards, bookplates, gift tags and all stationery set. I will continue making more things that make you smile and enjoy your merry day!

Seriously how cute are those book plates?! I wish I had a girl to buy them for!

This little tulip girl is my definitely my fave…

And check out the little girls birthday cards:

So sweet hey?! Well I’m also partial to these mini cards…

You should definitely check out Pavinee’s shop, MerryDay. There are way too many adorable things there waiting to be snapped up!

Pavinee also has an opening special of Free Shipping and A Free Bookmark for her first 8 customers! So now you have no excuse, better hurry!

Here’s where Pavinee spends her time if you’d like to spend it with her:

Thanks for showing us your stuff Pavinee!

I don’t receive anything from the sellers I feature on Operation Etsy Kick Start, I just think its something I can do to help new sellers along. If you have an Etsy shop with less than 20 sales and would like to be featured for free, please contact me :)

First Etsy Kick Start Feature!

And what a shop to kick things off!

Please welcome Meredith from Sheepish Knitting and Crochet!

Here’s a quick bio:

Hi! My name is Meredith. I decided to learn to knit after I read a certain, bestselling knitting novel….haha. Predictable, huh? Well, I bought some supplies and sat down in front of the all-knowing entity that is YouTube. Believe it or not after watching MANY videos about casting on, purling, and binding off, I finally got the hang of it. I had no idea how deeply I would fall in love with this craft. Later, I taught myself to crochet, and became completely addicted! It is now one year later and this quiet, (some may say sheepish) girl is using yarn to find her voice.

My Sheepish shop features original knit and crochet accessories. Each item represents my attention to detail and classic style with a unique twist. I find inspiration everyday (you should see my “idea” notebook) and I am constantly adding new products! I am happy to make custom items and I ship internationally! Feel free to contact me at any time!

I love this shop! Chunky knits are my thing, seeing as I hate cold! But my favourite item by far is this adorable iphone case!

I think if you love your iphone, you should definitely treat it to this case!

Meredith also does some awesome wrist warmers

And funky bright scarves

Seriously, this shop is a great new find. And from the emails I’ve had from Meredith she seems like a really great person!

You can find her shop here

And her blog here

Do go and have a peep!

Thanks for being the first Etsy Kick Start Feature Meredith!

If you have an Etsy shop with less than 20 sales and would like to be featured, please contact me :)

A little bit of drool and an opportunity!

This is why I'm drooling... NEW SHOES!



They're so perdy!



Sadly they don't make my legs look like they have any color at all, but I love them still. I bought them for Jem's Graduation which is now only 2 weeks away!
Never in my life have I owned a pair of heels that high. So I've made a mental note 'do not embarrass self by falling from great height of heels on dance floor'. That should do it, as long as I take careful steps I'll be fine (famous last words!)

Now for the big Opportunity...

Are you an Etsy seller? Do you have less than 20 sales?

It can be hard to get your shop noticed and show off your stuff without advertising. So I would like to help some sellers get their stuff out there without having to fork out for advertising. Each week I'm going to do a feature post for one shop and also feature them on my side bar for that week.

We need all the help we can get right?!

If you would like your shop featured for no cost for a week, please write me an email {missiekrissie(at)westnet.com.au} and tell me all about your wares, yourself, where to find you etc.

Make sure to tell your friends who have Etsy shops too and share the love!
