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 8th: Meet Wooded & KT
We have 2 sponsors for our Sneak Attack that takes place at 4pm Etsy time today.
One of our sponsors you have met before – KT, and Wooded, a brand new ‘Sneaker’ and sponsor.
Let me tell you about our new ‘Sneaker’. Chris, from The Wooded Lake was one of our ‘victims’ the beginning of June! Since then, Chris has taken part in surprising new ‘victims’ and having lots of fun. Now she has decided to be a sponsor and I know she will be a great one!
And I love that Chris’s whole family takes part in her endeavors. With 2 sons, and the ability to work out of her home, Chris says: The boys will just come up with ideas for me. They’ll say, “Mom, you know what would be cool? What if you could make….?” It almost always leads to something new. It might not be what they were picturing, but I know they like contributing ideas.
I went to Chris’s Etsy shop to pick one of her fabulous items – and found that her birthday is the 22nd of this month. Many of her items are listed as 22% off! Like these…
Our second sponsor for today is Katie, from Kt Originals who has been a vegetarian for almost 6 years. According to Katie I feel like it would be wrong for me to make things out of animal hide but not be willing to eat animals or wear leather myself. So, you will notice when you visit Katie’s shop, that all of her products are animal friendly. You won’t find any leather, suede or any kind of animal hide there!
Katie is also having a sale this month – celebrating her 1 year Etsyversary! She’s offering great deals on her totebags, like this one!
Be sure to visit our sponsors’ shops and say hello! And then come over and chat with us in our Sneak Attack thread. You are sure to have some fun and make some wonderful friends!

How exciting to have a recent “victim” already being a sponsor!
Also, can I just say that I’ve made multiple purchases from Kt, and talk about high quality and attention to detail!
