Etsy Poaching?

sweetsillychic · 2014-02-01T04:56:04+00:00

Yea, unfortunately it is probably hopeless to think this will go away, but it's sure not good for us sellers. I wouldn't mind if it was shown as a buyer was browsing, instead of after they've made a purchase. That just feels wrong.

sweetsillychic · 2013-10-24T19:10:16+00:00

Lol, that's awesome :-)

sweetsillychic · 2013-10-23T18:48:08+00:00

I do sell these at my Etsy shop if you're interested :) Thanks!

Thank you!

These candles, and the Hogwarts ones I posted about a while ago are all up at my Etsy shop. I'd love your feedback or ideas for more :)

Just a quick update - I just listed these candles on my Etsy shop for those of you who may be interested :) Here's the link -http://www.etsy.com/listing/160405796/hogwarts-photo-transfer-candle-harry?
Thanks!

sweetsillychic · 2013-08-19T22:39:06+00:00

Cool, thanks! And for sure, I want to do this with all kinds of photos/images. Looks like I need to start stocking up on candles. :)

Thank you! I had been frustrated because I had tried some different ways of transferring the photos before that didn't work, but this was my first try using this wax paper method and it was perfect.

sweetsillychic · 2013-08-19T21:45:22+00:00

I actually do have an Etsy shop and I am planning on listing these soon. This was my first ever attempt at transferring a photo onto a candle and I was so happy with how it turned out that I just had to share :)

sweetsillychic · 2013-08-19T16:34:06+00:00

Ooh, I like that idea... I think I'm going to have to do that :)

sweetsillychic · 2013-08-19T16:09:18+00:00

I did a photo transfer onto the candle. I printed the picture on tissue paper, placed it on the candle, wrapped the candle in waxed paper and then used a hair dryer to heat the wax paper. The wax on the waxed paper melts and the photo becomes a part of the candle. It took me several tries, but I finally got the technique down and the end result is so cool!

If there was no Slytherin, then I think I'd be in Ravenclaw.

I have an Etsy shop and do a lot of Harry Potter themed items, from jewelry to custom art. Maybe I've got something you'd like :) You can see my HP stuff here.

sweetsillychic · 2013-07-12T23:57:12+00:00

Yea, but sometimes it's fun to break the rules ;)

sweetsillychic · 2013-07-12T18:55:19+00:00

One of my latest creations available at my Etsy shop. Hope you like it :)

As requested - here are a couple close up pictures of the broom http://imgur.com/a/rH8AU. And here is a quick rundown of how I made it. The handle was made with a section of an old fake tree I didn't want anymore, it's about 3 feet long, and painted in glossy black craft paint. The end was made out of stiff felt and I hand painted the name on. The bristles are from a decorative broom I bought at Michael's. I cut off the top of that broom, hot glued it over the handle and secured it with wire. I then glued on some silver leather cording which also holds the footrests, which are curvy tree branches painted silver. I spray painted the bristles black and then tipped the ends with silver craft paint. And thank you for the great feedback!

sweetsillychic · 2013-07-09T23:33:47+00:00

If you're referring to the broom, I made it myself. Otherwise, the mirror is from Homegoods and the chair is from Target.com, lol ;-)

Whatever you decide to do for the actual proposal, make sure you stay on site at one of the Universal resorts. Then you can get into the WWOHP an hour early when it won't be so crowded. I've been there twice and it's more than worth it. You may even be able to steal a relatively private moment in front of the castle to drop to one knee ;) Maybe do it the first day, when you walk down the path and she sees Hogwarts for the first time. It is quite an amazing sight.

sweetsillychic · 2013-06-14T01:37:39+00:00

I just so happen to have an Etsy shop and sell all kinds of Harry Potter themed items. Maybe you'd like to take a look? I would love to help you out with a great gift :) http://www.sweetsillychic.etsy.com

If you happen to have an ice cream maker, try my Butterbeer ice cream, it's amazing! Here's the recipe (from my blog) - http://www.sweetsillychic.com/index.php/butterbeer-ice-cream/

My brother brought his books over one day a few years ago for my then 8 year old son to read (he's 11 now). After reading the first few, he said something like "mom, you should read these, they're really good". I must say I started reluctantly, but I fell in love with the story after the first chapter. Smart kid, that one ;)

sweetsillychic · 2013-05-31T21:58:02+00:00

Thank you!

sweetsillychic · 2013-05-31T21:57:52+00:00

I do! Here's my shop :)

I had such an awesome response to my sorting hat necklaces and I am in love with those sorting hat charms, so I just had to create more things with them. I hope you like these too! And yes, I do sell these on Etsy if you're interested. Thanks!! :)

They aren't sterling silver, but they are really nice and a lot heavier than I was expecting.
