Remember when...

I thought since it's my 5 year Etsyversary week, it would be fun to post some of the things I used to make & sell in my shop but don't any more. Actually, there are a couple I've been thinking of reviving...

Remember Shrinky Dink Pendants?

And remember the movable artist cards (new & improved ones coming soon!):

This one had paper doll clothes & hair!

Finally, remember the paintings I used to do on plaques?

It's been an awesome 5 years--I can't wait to see where I am in 5 more!

Remember--sign up for my newsletter by Sunday, 6/26 and you can win lots of free stuff! Also, get 20% off in my Etsy shop--for details check out my last post HERE.

Have a great week!

Holy Crap it's my 5 year Etsy-versary this week!

"Waiting", by Lea Keohane, 2006. 2" x 3"

WOW! You guys! This Friday, June 24th, is the 5-year anniversary of when I first set up shop on Etsy. Boy has it changed since then. Boy have I changed since then! That little ACEO (artist card, a tiny, baseball-card-sized piece of art) above is the 1st thing I ever sold on Etsy. Awwwww! I can still remember how thrilled I was to sell it.

Okay, so I know I'm a big mushy dork, but I like it that way. So I want to celebrate this week!!!

First of all, buy anything from my shop and during checkout type in the code, "5YearEtsyversary" and get 20% off your whole order! (Not including shipping). And everyone that buys something will get a free surprise with your order!

Secondly, I made 2 of these "LeaKArts through the Ages" packages:

Both are slightly different, but each has a coloring book, window decal, miniature print, linocut-printed notecards, 4 magnets, a pendant, and a mirror...and both of them are FREE! All you have to do is sign up for my e-newsletter, and then leave a comment here on my blog or on my facebook page to let me know you signed up. At the end of the week, I'll have my trusty sidekick (i.e. Indigo) pull two names from a hat and the winners (YOU! I hope) will get all of this awesome free stuff.

So sign up at the top right-hand column on my bloggy here, or right here (and don't forget to leave me a comment!):

Finally, Thank You, all of you, for being my awesome supporters, followers, customers, and friends. LOVE!!

It's my 2-year Etsy-versary!!

Today is my 2-year Etsyversary! Yay! I honestly can't remember anymore how I found etsy, but I know that when I did, I fell instantly in love. I saw a lot of potential there, and opened my 1st shop http://LeaKarts.etsy.com to sell my artwork. A lot has happened in two years, and now as you probably know I also have a successful supply shop. I have had a lot of memorable moments on etsy, from selling my 1st ACEO, to meeting some amazing chicas at PDX Etsy Tea to sleeping on the half-pipe at the Etsy Labs when I went there for the PDX Etsy Trunk Show (I've heard that the half-pipe has been taken down to make room for more practical space now).

So, in celebration of 2 years, I am offering FREE SHIPPING in both of my shops all day today (until midnight EST)! That includes everything from original artwork, prints, the pocket mirrors you see above (which I will be listing all day today and feature my artwork on the other side), washi paper, adjustable ring blanks...if it's in either shop it ships for free. Just go ahead and pay and I will refund the cost of shipping (or you can ask me to send you an adjusted invoice). Yay!
