Whistle Necklace Giveaway

Etsy Shopping...

Last weekend, I picked up these two tiny stacking rings to wear with the silver one I already have. They are from the Etsy seller, tinahdee, and I found them on sale in the Etsy Weekend Deals article that I write each week.

Here's a heads up on this weekend's edition of deals on Etsy if you've got the shopping bug:

Keep an eye out for next weekend's edition; I've got an extended promotions article especially for Memorial Day Weekend up my sleeves...it won't disappoint.

Etsy Deals

As many of you know, I write the weekly column on Etsy called "Weekend Deals." Here's a screen of the article this week, so check it out if you are in the mood to shop but feel like keeping a tight budget! When the article is published, it usually highlights between 9-12 sellers who are having sales that weekend. Many additional sellers wait for the article to be published and then post their own promotions for the weekend in the comments section of the article. Keep scrolling down to see all the comments and additional deals. Look for it in Etsy's blog each weekend.
