Owl Reads

Owl Reads is a segment where we share some worthy blog moments from other blogs, good articles, giveaways, etc.

This past week we featured lillyella as our Stellar Seller and she returned the favor by linking to her interview from her blog! Her interview is great, be sure and read it, and also check out her blog. It's a very great read! (it's at http://lillyella.blogspot.com/ )

Also, Allie of Monkeys On The Bed contacted us about promoting her 100th blog post giveaway, so here we are! She's promoting some new sellers with few or no sales and they are giving away some gorgeous handmade items! Visit her blog to see the details and enter! Congrats Allie on your 100th blog post!

Also, to promote a fellow team, the Etsy Supply Street Team is having their monthly First Weekend Shopping Extravaganza this weekend. You can check out the sales or join in the fun by clicking here. Sales end Sunday, so hurry!

Owls Spotlight, LuckyTwentyOne

Luckytwentyone has been on Etsy for almost two months and we are hooked. As the general "shopkeep", I (Andrea) do the research, promotion and any other business portion of running the store. Justin is the main artist, creating the items and concepts. Together, we are luckytwentyone. Though we are new to Etsy, I feel like we have already gone through different "chapters" of evolution as artists selling their fare.

We sell on and off Etsy, but our Etsy store has been our main avenue for sales. We hope to transform our shop into a full-time business for Justin. It's been his life dream to be an artist for a living. At this time we sell ink drawings and both acrylic and oil paintings but we hope to expand very soon. Our store is almost exactly a 50/50 ratio of drawings and paintings. Custom requests are always welcome - I feel like we are always working on something for someone and it is a lot of fun!

We will be adding sculptures, ink drawing notecard sets and ACEOs in the near future, so watch for that! We will offer anyone who makes a purchase after reading this blog FREE shipping (domestic OR international) on any item in the store by just mentioning you saw us in this article.

LuckyTwentyOne is a first for us as a team, they are 50% male! Though Andrea's really the active member of our team, Justin's part of the gang too! Be sure to check out their shop for more of their great artwork, the items pictured in this article are just the beginning!!!

Support Autism With the Owls

April Is Autism Awareness Month, and today is World Autism Awareness Day, and in honor of that, we're trying to do a little something extra to help out.

One of our members, lalala08 is participating in Autism Speaks' Walk Now For Autism in her hometown of Lehigh Valley, PA and we thought that would be a great cause to contribute to! So, some of our members are donating items to the team shop at OfftheWall and we're giving 100% of the profits from those items directly to the Lehigh Valley Walk!

There's a wide variety of items, including crochet, felt, drawings, photography, jewelry, and more!

Most items are autism themed by either having a puzzle piece, using primary colors, or both, as shown in this posting! Click on any picture to be taken to the listing on Etsy!

Also, Etsy members who have a loved one impacted by autism might be interested in joining Etsy for Autism
