First Sale on Etsy!

Thank you Sarah !  I made my first sale on etsy, and yes, it was to my sister, but it's a sale!  So now we know that the paypal system is working on site and that when the next 1,000 sales happen, it will all work.

Still have to figure out how we will market online our memory bears, but that is what weekends (and jeremie and maria) are for.

Memory Bears - Remembering Loved Ones


My newest endeavor is Memory Bears. What's a memory bear? I am glad you asked!

Memory Bears are stuffed bears that are made to remember a loved one who has died. Some bears have pouches to place a lock of hair, and some are made of articles of clothing or a special item that belonged to a loved one.

I made several bears from the flannel shirts that a friends father always wore -one for each of the daughters - an example is on the right.
