Giveaway Contest With Vintage 50s Treasures

Ladybug:   This week one of our team members, Joanna Vaughan, posted some suggestions to help boost sales.  She asked us to take a look at her most recent sale at www.etsy.com/shop/countrycents. 
She was able to make this custom order because she updated her tags so they were more relevant with the search words customers are using AND because she offered a sample of her product.  Thank you for all your help and encouragement, Joanna, and congratulations on your sale.
Who's in the spotlight this week?

Sunshine:  Our featured member in the spotlight this week:
                                                     Vintage 50s Treasures

Here is the interview I conducted with Rafael:

1. I know you have recently moved your Vintage 50s Treasures shop over to your main shop Jeanpatchbymk on Etsy, tell us why you did this?

We opened our Jeanpatchbymk shop in 2008 that had handmade items as the main focus. But, we had vintage collectibles that we wanted to sell so we opened the Vintage 50s Treasures shop thinking that separating the items would be best.
Over the years it has become harder to run two shops so we had to step back and ask ourselves what could we do different?
So we decided to combine the two shops to give our full attention to one shop.
　
2. I read on your profile that you enjoy working with wood. What are some items that you have made with wood?

I have made custom cabinets for kitchens and game rooms. I have always helped my wife in her craft business and throughout the years she has had me make decorative shelves and wooden boxes for her.
I make the boxes for her secret compartment books.

3 What are some of your hobbies?

I help my wife in our craft business. I consider it a hobby. I relax by listening to classical music and bible recordings.


He has a contest for you.

       I'm happy to donate one of our fabric flower pins for a contest.
