MONDAY SHOUTOUT!! - Black Friday Blitz on Etsy Pattern Patter!!

I belong to a group on Etsy that just sells patterns... mostly sewing.. some crochet and knit.. I use them for ideas.. smile.. anyways.. they are having a Black Friday Blitz and I thought I would send you the info.. please do check them out!!

Here is what they emailed me..

I am the captain of the Pattern Patter Team on Etsy. I, as well as many other of my team members follow or have visited your fabulous blog. I am writing to tell you of our team's Black Friday Blitz. This will be our third Blitz which is becoming a much anticipated monthly event. We select one day, and often just a few hours in a day, when our team members post patterns continuously and simultaneously - literally flooding the Etsy marketplace with newly listed patterns in their listing feed. 

On November 23rd our team will Blitz throughout the entire day with many of the participating teams offering sales of up to 50% off. Our team has established a discussion thread (www.etsy.com/teams/9565/pattern-patter/discuss/11193969/) where everyone will post their newly listed patterns. Please pop in and view the most recently listed patterns and feel free to visit our members shops and discover thousands of previously listed treasures. While the Blitz is a one day event, many of our team members will be extending their sales through the weekend, the end of the month and beyond.

If you feel this is worthy of posting on your blog for your pattern collectors or vintage dressmaker followers please let me know and I will mention your blog on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/pages/Pattern-Patter/136892899719393) and list your blog as a favorite on our own team blog (patternpatter.blogspot.com/).

I know how much work it is to keep up a blog. I so appreciate your efforts to present sewing with vintage patterns as a preferable option to shopping off the peg. My hope is that it catches on like wildfire.

Kind Regards,

Mary Behrens

In the crocheting front.. I am working on a pair of slippers for an order.. I have made these plenty of time.. one of my customers just love them.. and order them twice a year.. smile.. here are a picture of one of the old pairs I made her..

I also put up some towels yesterday.. and 2 of the sets sold today.. smile. that always makes my day.. Dont know if I will be here tomorrow.. but I do have a write up to make for Monday about an Etsy sale in one of my groups.. I told them I would advertise it for them..

An Update

Yes, it is Bronchitis.. now on a ton of meds.. ugh.. I hate the way they make me feel.. Anyways.. I told you I would put up the pics from the show.. and here they are.. hope you like them.. Working on Christmas towels  now.. and soon will be starting orders for slippers and gifts for the holidays.. guess I wont get as much done sale wise this year.. need to slow down cos I got to get better.. I dont need pneumonia next.

 Here you can see some of my slippers, dishclothes and towels.

 Here are some more of the towels.. you can see how tightly I had to put everything.. 

but it worked..  

Still not well..

I thought I was on the mend.. but I guess I was wrong.. I suspect it is now bronchitis.. and yes, I am calling the Dr. tomorrow.. cant take a chance with me having asthma.. since my last note, most of my time has been either sleeping.. or trying to keep up with things here.. I did get my Fall and Thanksgiving towels up for sale on Etsy.. will put them here..

This one sold as I put it up.. cant complain.. smile.. I have some pictures of the show of my table.. will try to get it up tomorrow..

Been sick..

Have been sick since Sunday.. finally am feeling human now.. will be back to sending pics, putting up new stuff, etc. starting tomorrow.. hope you missed me..
