Sneak Attack



What is a Sneak Attack?

It's a way to support independent artisans who are trying to sell their wares online. Two days a week at an appointed time, an Etsy shop with few or no sales is announced on this site. As many people as possible then buy items from that shop, resulting in a frenzy of surprise business to the unsuspecting shop!

Today's Sponsor and Victims

We have had a great start to our Sneak Attack so far and will continue to heart and cart items until today at 5pm so if you haven't had the chance to check us out, come join us!  Our Sponsor for this Sneak Attack is UUendys Crafty Corner, and our "victims" are Cobblestone Creek FarmSerious Moon, and Graceful Rose Soap Company.  Let's show them some love!  



UUendys Crafty Corner is full of earrings, baby afghans and receiving blankets, bead and crystal jewelry, book markers, and much more! Looking for crafting supplies? Be sure to check out Wendy's stash store as well: UUendysStash.etsy.com

Use coupon code READMORE during checkout to receive a 10% discount!



Cobblestone Creek Farm is a small family farm in Indiana. We specialize in raw wool, specifically California Red, hand dyed fibers and yarn, handspun and you may see other goods on occasion.  Also, each item purchased from them this month qualifies you for an entry in the Buy Phat Incentive Drawing!



Robin from Serious Moon likes working with natural materials and found items. To celebrate the arrival of Spring, this shop is offering FREE SHIPPING store wide!



Graceful Rose Soap Company loves to incorporate their own herbs into their all natural line of soaps. Their family has a lot of allergens, as well as sensitive skin issues so all of their soaps, with the exception of the shaving soap, are gluten free.

Right now they are offering Buy 3 Get 1 Free on their bar soap!

Celebrate Earth Day!


I am a part of a great team on Etsy called, Team Upcyclers. Upcyclers are artisans who repurpose existing materials or post consumer waste to create fashion, art or products with a new value, purpose or aesthetic appeal, thereby reducing the consumption of raw materials, energy and resources that must be conserved for the environmental health of the planet.

As a team, we are celebrating Earth Day with a day of savings! From our team, 21 eco-friendly shops are offering a Earth Day coupon! These coupons are only for today! For 24 hours, you will be able to purchase from these shops with upcycled savings to celebrate Earth Day 2012!

All of us are offering the same coupon code for easy shopping: UpcycleEarthDay

K5 Art is offering 20% off your purchase for Earth Day!

Etsy on Sale



I recently started using Etsy On Sale and thought you might find it useful as well.  It's a site that allows you to easily run a sale in your Etsy shop, change tags for items all at once, and auto renew items on a schedule you set.  It's so easy and the signup is free so you should check it out!  

Plus, if you sign up at the link below, you will receive extra credits:

I am running my first sale today starting at noon on my Scrabble Tile Boxes so be sure to check those out too!  They are normally $10 each but will be marked down to $7!  The sale is running through Friday, May 4th so get them on sale while you can!

You can find my Scrabble Tile Boxes here:
