all before 9:00 a.m.

I finally got the birdie pins in the Etsy shop. After listing, I received two very interesting convos (messages).

First, I've been picked for an Etsy Treasury by StellaPearl. In case you have no clue what I'm talking about, a Treasury is a person's pick of favorites and usually items picked fall within a theme. Sometimes the Treasury makes it to Etsy's home page, so this could be a big deal. Even if it doesn't, it still means I'm getting noticed by new people. A good sign for the shop.

Second, I got a message from a woman that has a giveaway feature on her blog. She is interested in offering an item of my choice for review and to host in one of her giveaways. The best part is that it is free advertising for me - the only cost is the item I'm giving away. Another opportunity to get noticed by new people. Another good opportunity for the shop.

And all of this excitement happened before 9:00 a.m. I wonder what the rest of the day will be like...
