my Etsy shop is open for business

One of my goals for 2011 was to open my own shop on Etsy. Actually, it was a goal for 2010, that didn't quite materialize, but this year I decided I would really try to make a go of it. So a couple of weeks ago, I bit the bullet and listed my very first item, my "couples" photo. Within a week I received notices that the photo had been placed in treasury. ( I didn't know what a treasury was at first, but from what I understand it's a theme based collection but together by other etsy members.) How exciting!

Now a couple of weeks have gone by and I'm slowly adding more items to the shop. For now it's mostly photographs, but I hope to also include some of my hand painted silks. As with some many things, it is most definitely a work in progress, but it is a start. I'm very excited to see where all this leads.

You can visit the shop by clicking here. Please check it out and tell me what you think. I'd love to hear your feedback.

Thank you.

5/52 Healing

4/52

Again, I'm a little behind on Project 52, but since there are no rules, I'm giving myself permission to be a little behind. The last couple of weeks have been a little rough the Heis Household. Miss B. suffered a third back injury. Although this injury was not as severe, there were still many worrisome nights.

A little over a week has gone by and she seems to be doing better but we're still taking it day by day. Right now she needs lots of rest and time to heal.

3/52 Snow and Shadows

I have a little catching up to do, but here is the third in project 52. When I set out to take this image I was already thinking it should be in B&W. I'm thinking it is a good time just to play in B&W a bit. Hmm... Let's see where this will take us.

2/52 Riley

So there are several New Years photo projects out and about on the web right now, and I am joining in on the fun. I'm going to try to do Project52. The goal, to post one photo every week. Since I'm getting a bit of a late start, let's just consider Pierce 1/52.

Now for week 2! How about a visit from my little buddy Riley?

One adorable baby, so many different expressions...

...which generate smiles to last a lifetime.

This has to be my absolute favorite image from my session with Pierce. (And I think it may be his mom's favorite too. She's already posted it to Facebook. )

I'll have some more coming soon. This one is just too good to keep all to myself (and half of Facebook :D)
