What is a Sneak Attack?
It's a way to support independant artisans who are trying to sell their wares online. Two days a week at an appointed time, an Etsy shop with few or no sales is announced on this site. As many people as possible then buy items from that shop, resulting in a frenzy of surprise business to the unsuspecting shop! To the upper right is the current Sneak Attack schedule. To participate, show up on this site at or soon after the time of the next attack and you'll see the chosen shop name in the box above. Then go to that shop and purchase an item, making sure to include the words "Sneak Attack" in the "message to seller". It's also fun to tune into the current thread on Etsy to talk about it with other "attackers".

May 1st: Etsy Shop Owner Donates to our Giveaway
Etsy shop owners are a group of wonderfully creative and generous people. Their donations make The Handmade Giveaway possible. We thank them.
Spotlight on: Kelly owner of The Refinery Boutique on Etsy .com.
Kelly shares a little bit about herself in her Etsy shop profile: I am 24 years old, and have a degree in studio art and a vision to create an edgy, wholesome, chic jewelry line for people who appreciate the same. I have always been frustrated with the lack of the the type of jewelry that I envision wearing and finding pieces that work cohesively with my everyday life.
I have therefore set out to create strong, long-lasting pieces that make both strong and simple statements. I want to share my aesthetic of carefully crafted, feminine meets rustic, sophisticated meets organic jewelry and durable, attractive home decor and gifts.
My long term goal is to own my very own brick-and-mortar boutique in Massachusetts and I hope to use this Etsy shop as my launch point to share my little creations.
