Sarah Jane ETSY shop open!

October 05, 2007



Wow. What a week this has been. I knew it was going to be intense, but I don’t think I knew how much. I Have had such a great time getting to know new people as I have made my first sales, and received help from other ETSY artists regarding all the details of starting up.


I am doing my own printing now, and wow! It is wonderful! Having my own printing abilities has opened up a whole new set of possibilities! I can’t wait to learn more!

Despite the rush of opening, we were able to enjoy the beautiful Utah autumn colors this weekend as we drove the Alpine Loop. Addie and Ian were so stimulated, that they couldn’t fall asleep believe it or not! (Well, Addie that is.) She stayed in her crib singing “I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills…. for 2 hours. It was so cute, but boy she was tired in the morning!

I hope you like the shop! I felt like a first-day kindergardener when I made my very first sale! Butterflies and everything! I couldn’t believe it! I am a perfectionist (to an extent) and I just want my artwork to be JUST RIGHT for my buyers. Translation: Up late, up early, Bob the Builder for the kids, stretching left overs as far as they go and Kenneth did a weeks worth of laundry for the first time in years. I am ready to be a real mom again! (well, what is real? the fact that my kids have had the stomach flu and have been letting me hold them for the past two days while working on my shop? I guess that is REAL).

But I am SICK of Bob the Builder!

    I saw your unbelievable artwork on a website and it just rings true to my childhood but even more so in my children. I didn’t want to create an ETSY account yet so I hope you don’t mind me leaving a message here. I am in love with the picture of the little girl coloring on your banner on ETSY- I have witnessed my daughter in that moment. Is there any way that is for sale or possibly could be? You can contact me at erin_jensen56@hotmail.com if you wish- again, amazing art work.

    Hi Sarah- you don’t know me, but I have seen your art and I LOVE it! I work at Babinski’s Baby Boutique in Foothill Village (Slc) and I’m wondering if you would be interested in selling your art here? I haven’t showed the owner your art yet, but I know she’ll swoon as soon as she see’s it! Let me know if you are open to that and what it would entail. You can email me at chelseahorsley@yahoo.com
    Thanks!

    Love the pretty fall pictures, Sara. I can’t believe how big your kids are! Can you believe that I haven’t met them yet?! – it has been that long.

    I haven’t had any Wright takers yet – no response whatsoever. I’ll make sure to share when i do hear back from some long lost family blogger…
