I FINALLY launched my new shop on Etsy. Sweet Escargot…
It’s been in the works since late last year. The name came from a nickname given to me by one of the Etsy Project Embrace members, a sweet lady from Israel named Orly.
The stand alone web shop is still in the works. Seems my coding skills are insufficient so it’s taking a while to figure out all the gory details. I’m hoping to have it done by early fall. (If anyone knows php well and wants to volunteer or barter some assistance, please let me know!)
We all know how devastating cancer can be for the victim and their loved ones. Some big-hearted folks on Etsy have created a team (Team Etsy Project Embrace) to help raise awareness and research funds for the American Cancer Society. There are currently about 140 Etsy sellers participating in Etsy Project Embrace.
“We are a Universal Coalition of Artists whose main purpose is to create awareness and support for people who have been diagnosed with Cancer, whatever kind it may be. The project began as a way to help our friend and wonderful Etsian, Laura Slocum, who has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and is currently having chemotherapy.”
