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".

June 17th: Meet KT
Katie, better known as KT is sponsoring our Sneak Attack today. I wanted to share a little bit about how her shop KtOriginals came to be.
According to Katie, I started off designing and sewing purses and pouches for a fellow artisan who owns his own store. Obviously, Katie’s creative ability was appreciated, and she decided to open her own Etsy shop almost a year ago.
Getting ideas from friends and family, Katie shares how she came up with this striking tote bag…
My Angry Cloud Lightening Bolt tote originated from a late night conversation I had with my best friend while driving through a thunderstorm. What a great bag!
Check out the other unique bags that Katie makes – and then come chat with us at our Sneak Attack Thread! Our sneak attack starts at 7pm edt today.
Til next time…

Kt made me a custom-fit bag for my laundry hamper, and it is perfect (also fabulous and stripey)!

So is the Sneak Attack Eastern Time or Pacific?

Jen- it’s Eastern time, which is the time Etsy goes by (shown at the bottom of any post in their forums).
