Open for Business


Oh, the silly things we do when we are bored.  I am again at loose ends without a project. 

I think the Spring Fever effect has prevented me from focusing long enough to look through the wool stash and settle on a new rug design.

For months I have been toying with the idea of opening up an ETSY shop  and tonight I finally took the plunge. 

So far there are just a couple of rugs there, but I hope to add a few more over the next few weeks.   So if you have a few spare minutes, pop in and check out Millie's Mats on ETSY.

Wouldn't it be fun to actually sell a rug?  And then I could buy more wool :)

Thanks for stopping by.

    Hey! Just popped over to your shop. I love your rugs. Wish I could get one right now. I will some time though, k?

    Congrats and good luck with it.

    I think I might open a shop there too after I get things going on my selling blog.

    You are a follower there too, right? At http://bearcountryprimitives.blogspot.com Sorry most the time my brain isn't working. My remember-er isn't what it used to be. lol

    Take care my friend. Have a great Sunday. Janet W

    Congratulations Kim! Good on you!! I just clicked over :) Love the little Bluebird. Be looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful rugs :) Maybe I can find a new mat for the coffee table, your Fall leaves mat stays out all year and my camera rests on it frequently :)

    Hi there Kim, now I think I know why Millie was acting so strange lately. She was so excited just like all of us are that you finally opened your own ETSY shop. Congratulations and and all the best. I'm sure that your beautiful rugs will sell like hot cakes. I'm so excited for you. Way to go girl. Your merchandise looks wonderful. Hugs. JB
