Postcards from Italy

So I guess my last entry wasn't my 50th post. I thought it was because it said "50" on my blogger thing, but I had two drafts of entries I never posted, so this is really my 49th post. :)

This isn't related to etsy, but I thought I'd share. There's these month long trips my college offers that goes to a variety of places overseas in May. I've always wanted to go to Italy so I applied for the Italy trip when I saw a sign for it. I had to submit an application and write an essay and I just found out today I got in! :) It's really exciting. They only accept 20 students and it seems like there were a lot of people that applied. I'll have to start practicing my Italian again. And use my Postcards from Italy box:





I haven't been able to list with my slow modem (and also being really busy with finals, this is my last week of classes), but there's still a couple holiday cards I want to put up. I hope it's not too late. I haven't experienced any holiday buyers yet, which is kind of disappointing because I keep making holiday items and they aren't selling. :( I've been doing some advertising on Project Wonderful and I was in the Little Black Box this month, so hopefully people are at least seeing my shop more.

I'm also selling some of my items in a new shop opening up in Chicago. I'm supposed to bring my items to the guy who's running the shop the week I get home for winter break so. This is my first time selling my items in a real shop and I'm really excited about trying to get my items out in a new way.
