Well, it’s official. I’ve opened up my new shop at BigCartel. I’m pretty excited. Without Etsy’s help, I have a lot of work ahead of me in the promotional department. I’m currently waiting for the domain forwarding to go through, so that when you type in lieslmade.com you’ll show up at my new shop instead of my Etsy one. (In the meantime, you’re welcome to visit at lieslmade.bigcartel.com.)
There is a little nagging voice in my head that says this was a bad move, to leave Etsy. But it’s something I’ve wanted to try for quite a while. Besides, if it doesn’t work out, I can always return to Etsy.
Anyway, I’m slowly but surely going to get things listed in the shop. I don’t have as much stock as I’d like, but I’ve been busy working on other things (like the Series.)

I agree, I’m in love with that color scheme [of your weekender bag]. Best of luck with your new shop; I’ll be sure to post a few plugs for you as you get going :)
