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".

July 29th: Meet Engel
All of our Sneaker friends love to sponsor a sneak attack – it’s so much fun. It also gives us a warm feeling knowing that we are helping other Etsy shops get a good start!
Our sponsor today is Linda, better known as Engel from Engelfelt. Linda has been a sponsor lots of times!
Until this summer, Linda was a full-time high school language teacher, and had been for 3 decades. She also ran an exchange program at her high school and took students to Europe every other summer.
Now retired, Linda is helping to interview for her replacement! According to Linda prior to retiring: Raising a family and working full-time is definitely not easy, but you just do it, and have very little time for yourself
Now Linda will have all the time she needs or wants to work on her crafts! Like this adorable child’s hat that she has crocheted!
Well, Linda, I have to tell you, when I retired, I thought the same thing – plenty of time to get everything done – yeah! NOT.
How can you work full time, and get all the things done you need to, yet when you retire – there’s never enough time? If someone can figure that out for us – please let us know!
Be sure to check out Linda’s shop for more delightful crafts! Then come chat with us in the Sneak Attack Thread! We are a fun bunch!
