Weeks Finds on Etsy

 


I have had a shop on Etsy for a while. The Etsy shop is Weeks Finds. Up until recently, I have sold mostly vintage or antique items. I have been researching many other options, I have moved to a Arkansas and hve seven acres of natural woods. I have also received a lot of new "toys" that are great for wood working. So I am about to expand on more of the natural items, and reclaim items around the property to make new.

I am going to begin the new direction for Weeks Finds when 2023 begins. My first project I am going to work on is some reclaimed logs I have from my home. I had to have siding installed on my log home, unfortunately it was much more cost effective, I saved a lot of the logs from areas that they were cut off. I now have a jig saw to do intricate pieces. To learn how to make better wood pieces I am going to start with cutting eggs out of the log and using wood burning for decoration, or just stain for decorating. I have so many more wood working ideas 


In addition to the woodworking, I am going to be offering fresh and dried shrubbery items for crafting. Items such as dried pine needles, pine cones, and branches with pine needles and cones still attached. I have actually sold dried pine needles in the past, and it was fairly profitable. It took me a little longer then just grabbing pine needles though, I actually went through making sure they were in tact and would be perfect for any craft. 


 I have many other ideas swarming through my brain, but this is where I am hoping to begin. Expanding my Etsy shop, Ebay shop, and Marketplace sales will expand a lot of my home business. Each year I get closer to my goals, but something always keeps me from believing that I can make enough online to stay home and work. I know it can be done, but now it is time to prove it to myself. Thank you to everyone that reads my blog. This is also going to be a focus for me as well.
