New Customer Showcase: BathCatSoaps on etsy

It's fun to showcase creative customers and their work, and today jff (just for fun) I want to mention a BRAND NEW etsy shop BathCatSoaps where Christina is selling her handmade soaps with Lunagirl labels! Her products look wonderful, and the labels look great. I absolutely love handmade scented soaps, so I'll probably be visiting there a bit myself ~ I have my eye on "Somali Spice oatmeal vanilla cinnamon sandalwood" (yum).  And she's in Atlanta, my former hometown (before I moved to the "boonies" of Tennessee).  Her shop has some very unique and intriguing-sounding scents, her ingredients are all natural, and her prices are very good!

I hope you'll visit BathCatSoaps ~ and hey, if you want me to showcase your work using Lunagirl images just let me know! And if you are interested in my collection of vintage-style labels (which are Lunagirl altered creations registered with the US Copyright Office ~ I'm proud of them) it is here: http://lunagirl.com/collections/blank-labels-tags/products/victorian-vintage-blank-labels-cd

New! Digital Downloads of Individual Images

I'm trying a new kind of item in my etsy shop ~ digital downloads of single images in high resolution, at very nice prices.  I have so many incredibly stunning images, especially the old Paris photo postcards, and while most of them are available on my collage sheets and CDs, I like the idea of highlighting them individually so they really stand out ~ and the idea of offering them in a larger file size so you get even better resolution and can print at larger sizes if you like (or resize small).

I hope you'll stop by my etsy shop and take a look sometime.  Maybe you'll find something to love for your next project or just for a beautiful frameable print!  Sorry about the watermarking ~ I have to do that because etsy lets you zoom the image to full size and unfortunately some people do steal sample images.  The actual images you receive of course do not have that!  And I always appreciate suggestions on what you would like to see more of...

Instant Digital Downloads & Secret Sale

Great news over at etsy ~ they are now offering a system for instant delivery of digital downloads, so I am in the process of adding that service for all my digital collage sheets on etsy!

Just FYI, I offer instant downloading of all my digital collage sheets and download packs at LUNAGIRL.COM and have for over eight years now!

All 300+ Lunagirl collage sheets are available at Lunagirl.com.  Another big project on my "to do" list is to get all those on etsy.

Great Idea: Mini Quilts

In the etsy blog I came across this article about how to make "mini-quilts" and wanted to share!  What a great idea for a quick project:  http://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/how-tuesday-grannys-delight-mini-quilt-9399/

Beautiful New "Garden Fantasy" Collage Sheets

We listed three new collage sheet designs yesterday, and they are so lovely.

The "Garden Fantasy" collage sheets feature flower fairy maidens and queens, angels, and little verses. Then there is the story of a little girl's daydream in the garden, specially adapted by Lunagirl.

These are now on our website and in our etsy shop: www.lunagirl.etsy.com.

The middle one doesn't show up too well in the samples, but if you go to the etsy shop you can find a larger sample image! (and the last picture below enlarges)

Fairy Furniture & Fairy Houses!

Wow! Look at what Sarah & Michael at Sunflowerhouse have been creating! Their beautiful Fairy Treehouse is amazing, created all from nature. Don't you wish you could explore it in person?

Sarah has an etsy shop Sunflowerhouse with the most charming little handmade fairy furniture. If these don't bring a smile to your face, I don't know what will!
