Exciting News!!

Hello all!  I had many exciting things happen this weekend surrounding Millie and Hazel:

1. One of my bears was chosen by the Etsy staff to be part of a feature on the front page of the website!!  This is HUGE and I feel so lucky that I was noticed after such a short time on the site!!  It was up from 8pm to 10pm last night (2/28).  Unfortunatley, I didn't hear about it till it was gone but you can still see it on the Etsy sister site "Craft Cult":  http://www.craftcult.com/vault_list.php?list=9358&userid=9081027&fm=&esn=&m=3&d=1&st=1&pagenum=2&ls=9363
2. Thanks to a friend's recommendation I have my first retail location to sell my bears!!  A super cute flower shop, Rivers Edge Flowers in Pawtuxet Village, that also sells locally made artist goods, has agreed to carry 5-6 bears to see how it goes!!  : http://www.riversedgeflowers.com/main.html
3. Today I was contacted by the person that is coordinating the Providence Art Festival which will take place this June on Wickenden Street - Downcity.  She saw my stuff on Etsy, loves it and wants me to apply for the juried show!!  http://www.indowncity.com/news

My head is swimming!!  The response  has been fantastic :)  Sorry if I'm gushing...I'm basically in shock right now.
