Raise your hand 🙋🏽‍♀️if you could use

Raise your hand 🙋🏽‍♀️if you could use more traffic in your Etsy shop?

I know marketing can feel overwhelming especially if you’re running your business solo and wearing ALL the hats 🧢👒🎩.

I want to help you calm the overwhelm when it comes to email marketing your Etsy shop and that’s why we partnered with @AWeber to bring you a series of three FREE online workshops to help you:

-Build your email list from your existing audience
-Set up sales pages & send your first email
-Connect your Etsy store to your AWeber account & quickly add Etsy products to your emails
-Design gorgeous emails with the AWeber & Canva integration
-Set up automated processes specifically for your Etsy store

The first workshop in this series is:
How to Boost Your Sales with Social Followers + Email on 9/28 at 5pm PT

RSVP for this FREE series through the link in our bio.

FYI: This series highlights using email marketing for your Etsy shop but you'll still learn a ton about email marketing in general.

⚡️AH-HA moment, maybe it’s a piece of business advice that you can’t wait to implement or an inspiring story of creative resilience that’s making you feel less alone and reigniting your passion.

🗓Well, what if you could feel that seen and supported 24/7 365 days a year?

What if your ultimate group of creative business boss besties exists and can’t wait to meet you?

What if there was a place where you could get the mentorship, resources, community and education to level-up your business, work on your mindset and get the connections to transform your business from something that you work for into something that works for you?

Sounds good? We agree. And that’s why we created Dear Handmade Life - The Club, a place where you can find all of that and more!

There were SO many years during my struggles with

There were SO many years during my struggles with infertility that I’d watch guests walk around our @thepatchworkshow with their kids and while I was smiling on the outside, on the inside, my heart was aching.

I wondered what I was doing wrong, what I could do right or differently to finally see that + on my pregnancy test. I dreamed of one day walking around one of our Patchwork Shows with my child in one of those baby wrap things (the struggle to understand how to tie them properly wasn’t part of my fantasy 😂).

Last season, I got to experience it. And… in all the moments of joy or connection or community that I’ve experienced in my 14 years of producing Patchwork Show, nothing compared to watching Luca, MY SON (I still marvel at the privilege of being able to write or say that) dancing in the grass to the Live sing-a-long from Mini Music during our Santa Rosa show. I watched him dance. I looked at all the vendor booths around the edge of the area. I saw my friends (some that I’d bonded with recently and others that I’d known for 20+ years) shopping. I looked over at my husband and remembered my awkward junior high thinking that I would find someone to share my life with. It was one of those all-encompassing cup runneth over kind of moments. Seeing the different parts of my life… work, family, friendship, fun converge.

I don’t push for work/life balance but I am all about work/life harmony, and, that moment was truly harmonious. And, I can’t wait to bring Luca to his second Patchwork Show this fall!

P.S. - TODAY is the last day to apply for a vendor booth at Patchwork Show! Head to our bio for the link to vendor info & the application.

P.P.S. - I bought this tee for Luca from one of our @ThePatchworkShow vendors @casalulo at our Tustin show last season and it's my favorite!

When you see these words (ꜜsee belowꜜ), who do

There’s something magical about being with peopl

There’s something magical about being with people who “get it”.

People who know what it’s like to put everything you’ve got into making a living doing what you love.

People who value honesty and aren’t afraid to get deep.

People who will be by your side to share their experience, offer help and support, and celebrate with you when you have a big (or small) win.

When you have a group of people to depend on like that, this domino effect of awesomeness happens. There’s a reason animals travel in packs, it’s not just to survive, it’s to thrive.

We found a way to bring that community and the education and resources creative business bosses need to you 24/7 365 days a year. And that way is Dear Handmade Life: The Club.

DHL: The Club is a members-only community for creatives and passionate small business owners to get the tools, mindset, accountability and support to take your next big leap. The Club is remote, inclusive and self-paced, so you can join from anywhere in the world and adjust it to fit your schedule.

The club includes business classes, mentorship from me, group coaching, unlimited support via our members group, a creative boss book club, resource hub, a class library with ready-to-watch classes that you can take anytime, and more!

The Club membership is only open from September 15-October 1st. After that, we close the doors until next year.
