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".
The Handmade Movement Blog
August 26th: Our Handmade Movement Shop & LaRue Fashions
Today’s Sneak Attack is sponsored by LaRue from LaRue Fashions and the Handmade Movement Shop!
LaRue is our coordinator for the Sneak Attacks, approves the ‘victims’, and maintains the Sponsors list for upcoming Sneak Attacks! Lots of work and she does a super job!
According to LaRue: When I was MUCH younger, my grandmother taught me how to crochet. I put it away for years. It is something that I can work on in the living room with my daughter
And boy does LaRue do a terrific job with her crochet too! Like this scarf…
Our Handmade Movement Shop is a collaborative effort! The items that are donated come from other Etsy shop owners who support our efforts in paying it forward by ‘attacking’ new Etsy shops. The proceeds from sales will go toward promoting and organizing Sneak Attacks and maintaining this blog!
There are a number of delightful items to choose from, including this Suncatcher…
Purchase something from our shop and help support the Sneak Attacks!!
Our attack will be happening at 6pm today – Etsy Time – there will be 4 ‘victims’ so you are bound to find something you will love! Hope to see you there. In the meantime, come chat with us in the Sneak Attack Thread.
