Hello. My name is Nancy and I am the designer and owner of two shops on Etsy. My first shop that I opened is NancysBagsEtc… It opened in Oct. 2009. My other shop is DesignsStainedGlass and I opened that shop in Dec. 2009.
I have been married for almost 33 years to my high school sweetheart, Guy. We have two adult kids, Kim is 25 and Aaron is 22. We live in Rhode Island and are recently empty nesters. Still trying to get used to that idea. Although our kids do not live very far away and visit often we still miss them. My birthday is August 10th.
I have been sewing since I was a little girl. I started sewing my own clothes, then went on to sewing for friends and family members. When our kids were born I made many of their outfits. Now I am sewing pillows, quilts, and some clothes for myself along with the purses in my shop.
I started taking stained glass lessons 9 years ago and was immediately intrigued with the art. I have been selling my stained glass items at local gift and consignment shops for 5 years now.
In my free time I like to spend time with my family and friends. We recently built a beautiful new home and have plenty of room to have large get togethers for our families and friends. I also love to cook and garden. I enjoy knitting, cross stitch, and other crafts.
We belong to a wonderful parish in our town. We joined this parish many years ago when our children were young and have formed many great friendships. We do try and volunteer in our parish when something comes up that we have time for. (My husband and I also own our own small business and our time is very limited.) I recently volunteered to help sew a quilt for the church that will be auctioned off to raise funds for our church.
My husband and I were brought up in Christian families and have always been active in our church.
My favorite item in my shop right now: NancysBagsEtc… I would have to say it is my new Bridal Purse. I just love the way it came out.
In my DesignsStainedGlass shop: I like my black cat suncatcher. It reminds me of my cat looking out the window.
If we were having a team party I would definitely bring something made with chocolate. I love to cook and bake and chocolate is my main ingredient when I am baking.
I am scared of heights so I will not be hang gliding or bungee jumping or going to the moon any time soon.
But if I have to chose I do love to sit by the pool - if you want to bring me a nice refreshing drink while I am there I won’t say no to that.
We have two cats, one is 16 pounds about 2 years old, and our other cat is almost 1 year old and weighs about 5 pounds. It great to see them together with such a big difference in their size.
I am always trying to create different items for both of my shops. As a newbie here on Etsy I am still playing around with different items to see what draws more interest from buyers. I am very glad to have found Etsy and have met a lot of very nice, friendly, and extremely talented people. I love it here.

4. Married to my soulmate, Rick
5. 4/30

7. No kids, but we have two furry kids (Marlowe, a Tibetan Terrier and Bailey, a golden retriever)
8. I have been painting since I was about 8 years old
9. Walk, ride bikes, travel and just hang out with family and friends and pups
10. I am on the Childrens Ministry and my husband and I also lead a small group...right now we are studying Genesis in detail....very interesting!
11. Even though I always believed in God, I didn't give my life to Jesus and start having a real relationship with Him until 1998. My husband became Christians at the same time....what an awesome journey!
12. I think it would be "Good Morning Bluebird"....the colors just make me happy and cheerful and I love flowers and birds.
13. Own a successful bakery.
14. Homemade cookies, lemon icebox pie and bruschetta
15. That is tough...I love crunchy salty potato chips and I love cookies...toss up.
16. Same as 7 (Marlowe and Bailey)....precious furry blessings.
17. Hang glide. I've always wanted to try it and am sure I will someday. I have bungee jumped before (talk about an adrenaline rush) and sometimes it is fun to sit by the pool, but I don't think I'd like being waited on hand and foot.
18. Good music
19. Toots
20. I'm thinking about adding some jewelry with my art and maybe more accessories for kids rooms.

9. When you have free time, what do you like to do?

5. Birthday Month/Day…we don’t need the year.
I was born on a beautiful day, September 12th.

7. Do you have any children? Will you tell us there 1st name and age?
I have two wonderful sons, Michael (24) and Joshua (21). Michael is a 2nd year medical student and Joshua is a junior in college.
8. How long have you been crafting what you sell on Etsy?
I learned to crochet and macramé when I was 11 years old. I have continued to enjoy it over the years. I believe everyone in my family has a least one of my handmade gifts.
9. When you have free time, what do you like to do?
I am an avid reader, and my favorite book is the Bible. Although I have more books than the average person, the Bible is what keeps me sane and able to endure the ways of the world.
I also enjoy crocheting in my spare time, and I always take a ball of yarn and a crochet hook wherever I go.
I enjoy listening to inspirational music. I am pretty low-key and enjoy the simple things in life, like walking on a beautiful day.
I have a passion for the elderly, and I enjoy volunteering and spending time with them as much as I can.

In my church, we are building a health ministry which I am a part of. I also am involved in our women’s ministry and the prayer ministry.
I also make prayer shawls and lapghans for the mothers and seniors in our church, as well as those you are unable to attend church service, so I consider this a ministry also.
11. How long have you been a Christian?
Christ came into my life at the tender age of 8 years old….so a long, long time!!
12. What is your favorite item in your shop right now?
I just listed a set of lovely scrubbies, which includes a soap holder, a bath mitt, and a bath puff. I can’t wait to make more of these. They make beautiful gifts or you can just pamper yourself.
13. What would you like to do that you have not done yet?
I hope to one day have a non-profit organization that will provide eldercare to those in need. I am also looking forward to being a “grandma” one day in the future.
14. If we had a team party, what would you be bringing?
I would bring a platter of fresh fruit, strawberries, grapes, cantaloupe, pineapple, watermelon, whatever is in season.
15. Do you prefer salty or sweet snacks?
I would have to say salty, I love cashews and pistachios.
16. What types of pets do you have, if any?
I have a white miniature schnauzer named Kobe. He’s been my faithful companion for 11 years…the best dog you could ever ask for.
17. Which of these three would you prefer to do? Hang glide, bungee jump, or sit by the pool and be waited on hand and foot?
I would sit by the pool, but it would be better if I could be on the beach enjoying the beautiful ocean.
18. If you were on a rocket to the moon, what is one thing you would want to have?
I’d have my Bible, with a picture of my family inside.
19. Does your vehicle have a name, if so what is it?
Precious…takes me everywhere I need to go!
20. Is there anything or other types of items that you would like to add to your current shop?

Welcome Kathy from AuntCarriesAttic!
1. My shop name is auntcarriesattic, named after my great aunt whose great vintage stuff I was not allowed to keep because I was only 8. Even then I knew vintage was good.
2. Kathy
3. I've been doing Etsy in a serious way since 9/09 when my daughter-in-law got interested. It's so much fun to have a partner!
4. Married, Gregg
5. 11/14
6. Connecticut
7. Annie, 17, Tim, 28
8. I've been collecting vintage forever (since I was a little girl) making things from vintage linens (dolls, angels, pillows, bags, clothing)for about 10 years.
9. In my free time I try to straighten and organize the mess I've made after I go through my vintage items! I also love thrift shops. And soaking things in Oxyclean.
10. Currently I am blessed to be leading a Bible study, The Friendships of Women by Dee Brestin, and an offshoot of that is that I am leading the group in a gift basket ministry whereby we reach out to others with a gift basket and prayer.
11. 30 years a Christian
12. I especially love the pillowcases with scripture on them because I feel I am combining the Lord's word with my vintage linens.
13. My husband and I would like to set up a foundation to aid loving Christian couples who cannot afford to adopt to do so.
14. I'd bring a gooey dessert.
15. Sweet!
16. Due to allergies, we can only have our pet guinea pig, Cinammon.
17. Are there any more choices? I'd rather sew.
18. sugar. I know, I'm supposed to say the Bible, but it's really sugar.
19. No,it's just a car that my husband is always cleaning.
20. Yes, I want to continue to develop the Christian scripture embroidery with all sizes of pillows. And baby/children's vintage clothing.

Some more newbies! Lets start with Carla!
1. Shop Name(s)
Faith Vintage
2. First Name
Carla
3. How long have you been a member of the Etsy Community?
I've been browsing for a couple of years and shopping for about a year and a half. My shop is brand new.
4. Married/Single? Spouse's name
Single
5. Birthday Month/Day... we don't need the year.
September 22
6. What state/country do you live in?
California
7. Do you have any children? Will you tell us their lst name and age?
Just cats and maybe a chicken or two.
8. How long have you been crafting what you sell on Etsy?
I'm not crafting yet, but I've been shopping vintage since I was kneehigh to an apple and had my first little sale when I was seven.
9. When you have free time, what do you like to do?
I enjoy working on my website (launching soon), writing, browsing estate and yard sales, and learning to bake.
10. Are you on a ministry team at your church or do you have your own ministry?
What type is it?
Philemon 6 encourages us to be active in sharing our faith so that our understanding of Christ will be full and rich. This made me realize that everyone is called to minister, even me. In recent months I've come to realize that my ministry is to older women who are wobbly in their faith and partially rooted in the allure of non-Christian spiritualities. I hope to reach these women via my blog, JesusNotes.com, which launches on Valentine's Day.
11. How long have you been a Christian?
Since 1999 or 2000, but I was strongly anchored in my yoga practice and other spiritual practices and just wasn't believing the words I uttered when I asked Jesus into my life. And then that dastardly DaVinci Code came out, which shook what little faith I had at the time. Talk about gullible and vulnerable. But now there's no looking back. Jesus is rocking my world these days. It's truly awesome giving it up to God.
12. What is your favorite item in your shop right now?
My shop is currently under construction, but my favorite item in my inventory is probably ... oh, gosh. Just one item? Hmmm, I would say my "category" of favorite items is vintage needlecrafts. Anything that has been lovingly knitted, crocheted, embroidered or cross-stitched speaks dearly to my heart.
13. What would you like to do that you have not done yet?
Buy land and build my dream cabin. :o)
14. If we were having a team party, what would you be bringing?
Cheery colorful cupcakes on a vintage glass cake stand!
15. Do you prefer salty or sweet snacks?
Yes. :o)
16. What type of pets do you have, if any?
Two cats, one rescued off the streets of Hiroshima, Japan, and the other rescued from in front of Starbucks in a rather unglamorous location in the States. And I keep talking about chickens. I want a chicken.
17. Which of these three would you prefer to do? Hang glide, bungee jump, or sit by the pool and be waited on hand and foot?
I've jumped out of planes seven times in my life and had other adventures as well. Although I'm always up for more adventures, at this point I would love to be waited on hand and foot, but I burn easily, so how about by a sauna on a crisp winter day!
18. If you were on a rocket to the moon, what is one thing you would want to have?
Easy access to the bathroom.
19. Does your vehicle have a name, if so, what is it?
Fred.
20. Is there anything other type of items that you would like to add to your current shop?
I'm loving mid-century costume rings and would love to find some more for my shop.

PACountryCraft's Monkey Bread
(4) 7.5-ozcans refridgerated biscuit dough (the cheapy kind that comes in a 4-pack for little biscuits)
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 stick margerine
1 cup brown sugar
Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a gallon ziploc bag. Cut each biscuit into quarters and drop peices, one at a time into bag, seal, and coat with sugar mixture. (My kids do that part) Place peices in a greased bundt pan (I use a cake pan cause I don't have one). Melt brown sugar and margerine in small saucepan, boil for 2 minutes, and pour over biscuit peices. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until it gets lightly crispy on top.
It is really easy and the kids like to help- it is something like sticky buns.
