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".

August 23rd: Meet Handmade
Our sponsor for the Sneak Attack today is Sandi from Handmade By Sandi. She loves science fiction, and yesterday was Ray Bradbury’s birthday – he’s one of her fav authors. So of course, the theme is Science Fiction – you will see all kinds of funky avatars today!
We’ve met Sandi before, as she loves to sponsor sneak attacks! Did you know that she loves to write? Sandi usually writes a blog post the day after a sneak attack – to introduce the ‘victims’ to all of her readers. Not only is this a great way to spotlight the new Etsy shops, but it also introduces them to a lot more people – many who may not know what the sneak attack is all about, or didn’t get the chance to be there as the new Etsy shops were presented.
You can read her blog at The T-Shirt Lady
And join us at our Sneak Attack thread – lots of fun all day long, and then we will introduce our ‘victims’ at 7pm Etsy time today!

Yay for Sandi and Science Fiction! I almost used a Ray Bradbury avatar and didn’t even know it was his birthday! Instead, I am ET today!
