Cleaning out the shop sale on ETSY

https://www.etsy.com/shop/messyjessycreatesart?ref=hdr_shop_menu I am offering cheap prices and FREE shipping (no code needed) in my Etsy shop.  I am trying to clean out inventory and make room for better things to come :-)  Help me "clean out the shop" by purchasing that needed pirate costume for upcoming Disney trips, pirate night on cruise ship vacations, and birthday parties!  I also have some art prints left! Thank you!!!  Jess

My Jamberry online Party! http://rah.jamberrynails.net/party/?uid=52b4ec51-6bc6-4e14-91bc-f05a901a0509 Several Weeks ago, my friend Liz and I were talking about these things called Jamberry Wraps for our nails.  We didn't know much about them but were curious.  Not more than a couple of days later, another friend, Rachel, announced on Facebook that she was going to start selling them and was offering free samples. Yippee!  What a coincidence!  Well she sent me some samples,  which Liz and I tried, and LOVED them!  Here is a picture of her nails with samples and her little girl's fingernails using the Jamberry wraps for kids..... For Rachel's business launch party I put in an order for some wraps to use for my upcoming art festival (Etsyfest15) to match my Pirate Costume Business.   www.etsy.com/shop/messyjessycreatesart   Here is a picture of my black and white striped nails.... aren't they cute!

So EtsyFest15 has come and gone and it really was exciting!  This was my first ever art/craft fair and a learning experience.  I sold my pirate costumes from my Etsy Shop ( www.etsy.com/shop/messyjessycreatesart  ).  The kids LOVED my husband all dressed up and looking like Captain Jack!  They also loved that we had Pirate Plinko which my oldest son ran..... he is just so good with those kids :-) I also took my mixed media paintings and lots of prints that did better than the costumes!  I am so happy everyone loved them!  You can find those in my etsy shop as well. If you would like to see more photos of us at EtsyFest15, I have an album on my Facebook page  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.956257957751942.1073741835.100001032398638&type=1&l=d14e30bb2c None of this would be possible without the help of my beloved family.  My husband, my mother, my oldest son, and my step son were fabulous!  I love them all :-...

Fabric I Bought with my KivaZip Loan for Pirate Costumes and EtsyFest 2015

Image
I had reached my KivaZip Loan goal in just a few days-YIPPEE!- and started ordering fabric.  I usually take two or three people with me to hobby lobby with their smart phone coupons to buy fabric 10 yards each at a time.  This is hard to do, especially when you don't feel good and everyone is so busy.  This is the cheapest way to buy fabric for my costumes so that I can actually earn a few dollars for my hard work.  Having reached my KivaZip Loan goal, I researched other ways of buying fabric in bulk that would be comparable in price.  For the felt I make the vests from, I found a fabulous deal using Amazon Prime for free shipping.  The fabric is even better that what I was getting at Hobby Lobby as it is made in the USA AND made from recycled plastic bottles!  It feels wonderful and the fabric consistency is better than the other.  Today I received my shipment of two bolts of black felt, delivered to my door, in bulk, and I don't have to buy 10 y...
