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 5th: Meet WMS
Today’s sponsor of our Sneak Attack is Heather, from Wine Makers Sister. Heather is indeed the sister of her family’s winemaker – thus the name of her shop.
I asked Heather what exactly is involved with running the winery, and she responded – I do pretty much everything else outside the wine cellar. I supervise staff, do the marketing and PR, run events, deal with all our wholesale sales… basically I’m the face of the winery.
And what does Heather do to relax? She knits and spins yarn! And makes and sells the most delightful items in her very successful Etsy shop! Geared towards the knitter, Heather makes note cards, handcarved stamps, stitch markers and so much more. This is one of her handcarved stamps that any knitter would love to use!
Be sure to check out all of Heather’s unique items, and then come over and chat with us today at our Sneak Attack Thread. You will have lots of fun!

I’ve known Heather for quite a while now (relatively speaking) and didn’t know how involved she was in her family’s business. Thanks for the write-up!
