A Special Occasion Of Sorts

This post is very long overdue but it seems to have come at a fortune time, to allow me to participate in Sophistique Noir's monthly theme, albeit in an unconventional way (I know it's been ages since I did an outfit post, I've been so lazy lately).

 
I've finally opened my Etsy shop! I talked about doing so last year when I started making chokers. I would have done this sooner but you used to need a credit card to open an Etsy shop and I can't find mine anywhere (I put it somewhere safe...). Luckily you can now link it to a paypal account instead.

My shop is called Flightless Phoenix Designs, a name I've been using at craft fairs and so on for a few years with my sock animals and other hand-made things.


This is the logo I'm using for now. I know it's very rough but I'm no artist, I drew this on a lunch-break at work and edited it in photoshop. The font is based on a vintage typography sample from The Graphics Fairy. I'm sure I'll have to pay an artist to re-draw it for me if my shop takes off, but fortunately I'm lucky enough to have plenty of friends who'd give me mates rates =]

At the moment there are only a few things in my shop, but I'll try to add more soon, and take better pictures too! If there is anything you'd like to see, please leave a comment below!

As a reward for all my lovely readers I've made a 10% discount code for you. Enter BLOGLOVE1 at checkout to get money off =]

Now I'm off to read the other posts for this monthly theme =]

    Congratulations on opening your shop :)! I took a look at it and I think your creations are very cute (I really like the "Curiouser and curiouser brooch"). And I think your logo is perfect as it is, simple and pretty, as well as your creations ;).

      Thank you =] I could try to re-draw it myself, but I think art is something I should leave the the professionals!

      It's a name I've been using online for forums and so on for years. It originally stemmed from a band-name brainstorming session in my teens and some angsty artwork I drew about how 'trapped' I was, lol! I've been associated with phoenixes for a long time though (Josephine - Phina - Phoenix) so it fits quite well =]
      Thank you, I need some luck at the moment =] I hope your build is going well, looking forward to more updates!
