I love this elephant wallet! OMG! Its only $8 and SUPER cute! Its on my faves list and when I get enough money (and its still there.. KABAM). I might also be on the lookout for other safari animals. Like my favorite... Giraffe. OR LLAMASSS <333.> 
Not only does she have cute wallets... but these amazing crocheted sun catcher earrings. Filled with color and vibrancy.
She is for sure on my "fave seller and MUST check out" list. :)
2008 Goals
2008 Goals
2008 is a new look at my shop, CagedBirdSings. I'm having the overall goal of turning what is a fun hobby into a small time business. If I complete my goals I will be happy as a clam! (wouldn't we all??) But To have a long term goal you also need to have short term goals which help you create the long term- it helps keep you motivated and at the end of each goal you can even treat yourself to something special.
Long Term Goals:
- Hobby -> Business
- Keeping a better track on cost of materials and shipping.
- Making 100 sales this year. (5/100) :)
Short Term Goals:
- staining the wood blocks used to hold the chimes
- improve shipping designs. (better "thank you!" notes etc)
- Sell 9 chimes a month. (to make 100 sales this year :))
Anyways. I'm hitting this month off strong with 5 sales! Next month I'll really be focusing on the 9 a month goal so that my 100 overall is an easier attainable beast.
Thanks for listening! Have a good year everyone! :)

New Addition -- Knotty Chime
KNOTTY CHIMEThe newest addition to the CBS group-- Knotty Chime.
Why call it Knotty? During the process of making it, it drove me up the wall with frustrations and cut me several times (not because the pieces were sharp- just because of the way I handled it. Harder than usual. It fought back.. and won).
The colors were too intense and amazing to leave alone. I had to continue. Tough love so to speak.
I love this little knotty chime.. even though it was very.. naughty.
Enjoy! :)

1st day -- goals
Following with the "Make your shop better in 30 days" I'm going ahead with the 1st and then will do the 2nd.. just to catch up :')
1st day is making monthly and long term goals for yourself in your shop.
"This helps by keeping you focused and gives you more determination to get your business going. Each month you meet all of your goals reward yourself. It could be a purchase from your favorites list (make it cheap, though, we don’t want to cut into profits too much), a tasty treat, an extra hour of sleep one morning, a picnic for lunch, or something else you love."
Day 1 -- Goals for CagedBirdSings
Monthly------
1. Promote my shop off Etsy. Livejournal, myspace, and facebook. See what I can do.
2. Promote other OWL members.
3. Try to make 2 sales.
Long . Term----------
1. When I get back make more chimes
2. Do twice as many shows than last year
3. Double sales and work harder every month
4. Turn a cute business into a serious one.
5. Open a boutique in the UK on a corner lot somewhere.
there you have it :)
well anyways. if you would like to look into making your ETSY shop better look at Christina Perdue's blog here:
