You've been on my mind even more than usual recently, which is the signal to me that we are overdue for a chat. Phone phobic or not! ;) Well, since Florida actually has those "good housekeeping" spiders nearly that big, I can understand the confusion! Just thinking about them still makes me shudder! Looking forward to catching up-with you soon.

Of course there is always the telephone, which you know I am phone phobic. But I do love spiders and snakes. Was that a real spider? Seems to be some confusion. I wanted to cry if it was real. I truly loved the rambling on and on along with all the creativity. You are special. I will contact you otherwise.

Loved the draw panel with the holding hooks. And finding a place that promotes and sells one's stuff is always the big challenge. Continue to enjoy the creation of what you love to make; and may the sales come your way. Go well - peace.

The insights you have and the inventive ways of using materials has perked my own creative juices to go into the studio and start working wit some of the bits and pieces I have there.

Delighted to hear you like the display! Yes yes! A wall sized display like that would be grand! You need one! I'm laughing out loud about the spider. Since you've just confirmed that there are actual spiders of that size in Australia, do you think that just maybe- this one hitched a ride to Texas on a jet? Hahaha. ;)Anvil Artifactshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00246256420629683122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555174565681262998.post-53437248468928624552016-07-21T15:40:18.275-05:002016-07-21T15:40:18.275-05:00PS: Janet!

Hmmmm, ...A beautiful and lavish feast, as always!! <br />Hmmmm, I wonder why Amazon decided to call it 'Handmade'? The whole exercise has been a puzzler....<br />One of many mind addling events of late......<br />Wonderful works as ever, but, I hope I'm not being terribly rude in saying that my VERY most favourite piece here, is your fantastical display!!! That hand - and the spinny bit!! Made me giddy with excitement!!! Make MORE, more, more. I want one wall sized!!! LOVE IT!!!!!<br />Of course, it goes without saying, that Ancient Treasures is a masterpiece! WOW!<br />Is that spider real or not? You know how easily fooled I am - I believed that picture of one as big as a house! Mind you, I recently saw a video of an Australian Huntsman on someone's ceiling, that was as big as that fender bender! Horrors!<br />Thank youuuuu, darling, for such a wonderfully luxurious post!

Apologies, I'm not able to help you out with that.

Please don't think this is a reflection on you. It seems to be this way for many people in many locales. I have noticed that it's been awhile since your blog has appeared on my blog roll. I wondered if you had changed something and I missed it. Please don't lose heart about slow sales.

I admit I'm actually lost about any strategy to sell, Etsy is dead for me except a few hairpins because even if the flowers changes it is a repeated design so maybe they're found this way otherwise I've become completely invisible, I have my own website on wordpress but it is a lot of hassle and I regularly need to call for help to make the updates and resolve regular bugs and anyway I don't know why because it's bilingual but I only get the odd French customer... well it's a puzzle, I was thinking about moving to shopify...<br />and I forget the most important : thank you for this huge post and all the beauties you created and shared here, I must come back to have a slower and closer look at each marvel.
