Jen Stark

As I perused Jen Stark's website, I had the feeling I'd seen it before but I couldn't find where I'd featured it in my blog. Her work takes my breath away. Please take a look!

I've started adding Sticky Notes to my Etsy shop. I also had a teeny tiny internal freakout because I haven't gotten any sales yet. I've read on the forum it's not unusual to be open a month before any sales materialize. And there are lots of tools on the site for me to use to promote my site and I haven't even started with those yet. My freakout was short-lived though. This is just one venue for my art, so I need to keep that in perspective.

I've updated my area at The Enchanted Rose Garden twice in the last week. The upstairs of the shop has been reorganized - it's so full of color, I'm glad I'm up there. I still have a thing about there being So Much Stuff, but that's just me. Only my Sticky Notes are there and as soon as my new display racks arrive, I'll be able to put even more there. I'll take a picture then but I have my acrylic display racks on black shelves so there's an explosion of color. It looks nice.

I had to laugh when I stopped by Saturday morning. I had been there Friday to refill the racks I have there now, two acrylic racks per shelf. I set them side by side, so they look like one big rack on each shelf. When I went back Saturday, Eileen (the owner) had adjusted each one just so, they were now at a slight angle to each other. It looks so much nicer and friendlier! But I had to laugh because of me and my lined-up-ness - just like my art - neat & orderly. She definitely has an eye for display - she's helped me before, that I just don't have. Also, I get bogged down in the details of the quantity & color, and forget about the big picture of the display. It takes a village.
