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 15th: Meet Ros
Today’s Sneak Attack is being sponsored by Ros of Painted Memories By Ros at 5pm Etsy Time!
A ‘victim’ of a Sneak Attack in November of 2008, Ros has actively taken part in paying it forward as a sponsor and participant. You can always find her encouraging owners of new Etsy shops as well as veteran ones! I would have said old ones – but some people aren’t that old 
With a background in art and design – you can see how Ros has taken her love of art to create gift cards featuring many of her watercolors, charcoal and pen and ink drawings. I browsed through her shop getting ready to write this feature and fell in love with this “I’m a little teapot” card!
Be sure to visit Ros’s shop and pick out your favorite! And then come on over and chat with us today in our Sneak Attack thread!
