I have taken my sweet time... procrastinating is the word that actually comes to mind... in setting up my shop with @homesteaderscoop.
It's small, well it is at least right now, because it takes time to do these things.
Photo shoots which entails set decorating, placement, lighting... yeah, it takes time.
And then there is the weighing and measuring of the items to prepare it for potential shipping.
I am an Artist
I am an artist... an artist of many things. My my shop reflects that.
I am not content to work on only one item or subject or style... I like to experience it all, I have to experience it all or I will not be content.
You can expect to see a variety of items pop up as I get them made; no two ever exactly alike, perhaps similar but never the same.
The seasons play a role in what I will have to offer because different seasons lend different ideas and feelings to the work, dependent upon opportunities and availability of materials, and time and space.
What I Offer
I lean towards realism with a touch of fantasy. I offer things for both the home and for the garden, along with personal accessories. I always try to fit function into most of my works, I want things to be useful and to last for a long time.
I do however, offer up hobby stuffs, and some graphic/layout services should you find the need!
In a nutshell, over time, expect to see some of, but not limited to, the following in my shop
- birdhouses
- insect hotels
- kitchen linens (aprons, placemats, tea cozies, pillowcases, etc.)
- coin purses
- children's apparel
- dolls
- painted rocks and other things
- backpacks and totes
- colouring books and ePages
- home decor
- illustrations and paintings
- embroideries and stitcheries ....and oh so much more!!!!
If you like my work but don't see what you are looking for, I do not do commissions, but I am open to ideas and may consider making it... and you never know, I may have the item you are looking for in my stash of "made but never displayed" items.
Colouring Book Givewaway
If you would like a copy of my Tin Can Glampers colouring book, suitable for adults, teens and children, then continue reading to see what you have to do.
I am giving away one copy of my published colouring book to one person, anywhere in the world and I will pay for the shipping to you.
All I ask is that you visit my store, then come back here and leave me a comment that tells me one of the display items that is photographed alongside any one of my tea towels in my shop.
When this post goes to payout, I will review all the comments. All correct answers will be numbered in the order received and will then go into a number generator which will choose the number and that person will win one colouring book Tin Can Glampers!
That's all there is to it... easy peasy right?!
Show Some Love to the Community
In the meantime, please show some love to @homesteaderscoop and vote for them in @theycallmedan's 20K Delegation dPoll , it would be so much appreciated, they are a great community who is doing wonderful things for the community and beyond, vendors, and the blockchain, and who are being supported by @naturalmedicine in this venture!
Please take a moment to watch this video by the amazing @riverflows.... it speaks volumes and says it all! Thank you 💞
congrats ... great work getting started
Thanks @shadowspub! 💖
So awesome that you are sharing your creations with us in the co-op. I have to go check out all your goodies now. I totally understand that artisitic vibe you have, one can never focus on one thing and style it puts us into a box and we feel stunted.
Thank you @sunscape!
I admire those who have a "niche" that defines their style and makes them reconizeable... I have no style, I am just me, and like a thistle, I grow wild all over the place 😂
I love it! That is a great concept to carry. Free to be you in any fashion you feel like. A true free spirit.
Yay you did it! I have been patiently awaiting this moment :) I am really excited to see what you have been working on. The products all look amazing!
Thank you @sagescrub... you are amazing and it would not have been possible without you 💖
A lot of beautiful things in your shop, wow!!!
Thank you @silviabeneforti!

Thanks @riverflows 💖
I heard one of communities suggest we are niche... but anyone can sell stuff in HSCO as long as it's produced to certain guidelines .. art etc too.. so all Steemians are welcome!!!
Posted using Partiko Android
Yes, and the @homesteaderscoop is available to all Steemians who want to purchase its products and services even if they don't want to manage a shop, therefore, it already goes beyond.
Furthermore, the coop is a community of like-minded individuals who walk all different paths of life, some are homesteaders in the true sense of owning a homestead, others are urban homesteaders, and others are just dabblers and learning along the way... we are an open community with a vision and passion for the earth and preclude no one.
Absolutely.. this is so quotable..

Hi @thistle-rock, I'm @checky ! While checking the mentions made in this post I noticed that @natualmedicine doesn't exist on Steem. Did you mean to write @naturalmedicine ?

Congratulations on the opening of your shop!!! I look forward to seeing the many items you have to offer. My children have been asking us for a birdhouse AND they love insects so those two things I will be looking out for.
One of the display items is an Alarm Clock! 😃
