We have already started gearing up for the storms here in Bay Saint Louis, MS. We have rooms booked in Montgomery, AL and will be leaving Sunday night.

I filled out an application to join a local weekly market called "Market In The Park". It's on Saturday mornings from April until November. They only allow one vendor for each type of items so I should do well. It's mostly local artists.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone. Remember to list "etsyhookers team" as one of your tags for your items on Etsy.

I've added tons of new items to my shop this evening and will be adding more tomorrow. I've also lowered the prices on the older items and totally revamped my shipping prices. They are more affordable and competitive now. If you looking around on Etsy this weekend, please give my shop a quick peek. I'd love to hear what you think of my new items. Thanks so much & Happy Hookin this weekend! Kim *The Colorful Bee*
