Markets Of Sunshine New Logo

New Logo

We are so excited to show off our new logo created by Makalya of Impression Designs on Instagram.  We'd love to hear what you think about the design and color palette we chose.
Since, we live in Florida we wanted something that was bright and colorful and feels like a day spent at the beach.

When you visit our Etsy shop, MarketsofSunshine you'll quickly be able to identify us by our logo.  All of our packages will have this unique design on all of our labels and business cards too.  

We hope you'll share our post and help us spread the word about our handmade business.

"We help women find the "will power" to take control of their budget so that they can have financial independence and peace of mind". 

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with us.

Sending You Sunshine,

Marsha J.

Tip Corner
Getting ready for Fall and Winter season can be a challenge when you live where it actually does get cold, which for us Southerner's is below 70's degrees.  giggle!  To make room in your closet and to find the clothes of the season easier, simple pack up the summer clothes and put them in a vacuum sealed bag for easy storing.
They will stay fresh and clean when stored this way instead of putting them in the old time cedar chests that make them have to be washed before they can be hung back in the closet and worn.  No more clutter!

Don't let it become a frustration,  let us help you brighten someones day with a collection of gifts for one low price. I just gave a friend who has everything and who has very distinctive taste in decorating one of our Cook Lover sampler bags for their Anniversary and they loved everything in the collection.  They are also big time pet lover's with two dogs and house full of cats.  So, I also included one of our Pet Lover bags and they had a night of laughs watching their cats play with the catnip toys that are in the bag.  Problem solved!

Pick up our Pet Lover's bag while supplies last!  If you would like any of the items in the bag made for your cat or dog that's no problem either.  We love custom orders.  Just contact each vendor in our Marketplace.

Here is the interview that I conducted with Cynthia:

1.  Where do you find the vintage jewelry for your shop?

I am fortunate enough to live near lots of great consignment shops and flea markets. And my friends have given me items that they do not want or have found at a shop and bought for me. My sister has a good eye and is always thinking of me when she is shopping

2.  What is your favorite  section in your shop and why?

 Wow that is a tough question. I would say my favorite section of my shop is hats. Which I am going to add next year. I have been collecting them but they are hard to let go of. But it is something I will add to my shop in 2013.

3.  What is your weekly special?

My weekly special is my gold or silver Christmas tree earrings
