Shop of the week: Prettycheap

Shop of the week: Prettycheap Posted: 29 Mar 2010 02:02 PM PDT This weeks shop of the week is Prettycheap, run by owner and creator Nina Danza. Nina ships her items internationally from Ventura, California. Nina describes herself and her shop as the follows "I am the Frugal Artisan making many different kinds of beautiful bargains! Look in my shop for classic timeless jewelry designs in precious metal, natural stone, and pearls as well as richly colored original photo cards, pressed flower stationary, and embroidery and needlework cards (all very time honored classic crafts)." When walking through her shop please remember the following: "Everything at Pretty Cheap is made with quality and sold at inexpensive prices. Once you get past the name, my customers can't believe what a great value they get in their purchases: "These are just as sweet and well made as can be! Thank you for great items at good prices! In the words of my granddaughter, Prettycheap rocks" ... "I LOVE these earrings!!! Even prettier in person. They are gorgeous! I have gotten a ton of compliments on them. Fast shipping and very well packaged too. Thanks so much" are just a couple of the 100% positive feed backs." As always we here at the etsy twitter team love to share our information about how we work on twitter. Nina would like to continue to inspire all of you to use twitter by using the following trick of the trade: "Focus on following and interacting with those of the same passion. Instead of singing to the choir, figure out what sets you apart (ok, easier said than done) and use http://www.twellow.com to find others of like mind. I am such a die hard saver it was easy to start seeking out other thrifty folks. How convenient to have a recession come along and make frugality a trend!" Nina's business resolutions for 2010 is as follows: "Last year I did an experiment to see what scale of profit I would earn by selling at an increased number of in person shows. The result was good, and gave me first hand knowledge of what price range and type of items shoppers were buying especially at the year end holiday season. I learned that I want to develop the perfect all around gift, that would fit in a medium 2" square box, for a moderate price, by fall of this year!! (and if so I'll let you all know what it is!)" Nina is offering our readers for this week only: Free Recycled Guitar String Bracelet with every order (no minimum purchase necessary). While supplies last. Lots of colors and styles, great environmental fashion statement. Just ask for it at checkout.

"When I first learned how to crochet, I fell in love with it. I knew I had to find a way to sell my goods (I mean, one gal can only use so many fashion accessories!), and a friend introduced me to Etsy. I've hooked ever since (pun completely intended).I'm just a plain simple Southern gal, who loves animals, Celtic music, God, and my family. I try to let those things inspire my creations. You will definitely find green in my shop, which is inspired by my love of all things Irish. And you will find my Soggy Sardine cat toys, which comes from my love for animals:http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22301360Those toys are my best sellers, and one of my favorite items to make. They have so much personality! So I will just keep plugging along, trying to sell my wares, and enjoying life. Here is the link to my Etsy store:http://www.anastasia91.etsy.com/.
