Blasted Threads!!

If you're like me, every once in a while you have to re-thread your serger.  @$*%&*!!!  I get very upset.   Luckily I found instructions on how to fix it.  I have a basic 4-thread Singer serger, and I'm not sure if it works for other sergers, but I hope that at least one person can benefit from this post!

Etsy: HereInSmallTownUSA

This might be the weirdest shop ever on Etsy.  Dried baby mice, rattlesnake rattlers, and pheasant feet are only some of the strange items for sale at HereInSmallTownUSA



Now, I know what you're thinking--"Who buys that stuff?!"  Being an amateur psychologist, I am also very curious.  But don't think this unique Etsian isn't successful in his/her business endeavors!  HereInSmallTownUSA has hundreds of sales.  What a genius to tap into a market I didn't even know existed.  What I have learned from this shop is that you have to find your niche--the more specific, the better.  Man, do I have a lot of work to do in that area!




What niche shops would you like to see on Etsy?

Music: Ready To Start

My boyfriend and I are obsessed with this song/video right now.  It's from this past weekend's Coachella,  I've never really listened to Arcade Fire before...but maybe I should.
