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".

A little bit more about Star Jewelry :
I’ve found that I always needed a creative outlet to offset the exacting nature of my computer career. As my childen were growing, I’ve engaged in crochet, sewing, quilting, needlepoint, and cross-stitch. Then one holiday season, I picked up a kit to make a badge holder necklace for a gift for a friend. Once I finished it, I knew I could make a better, prettier necklace than the materials this kit provided, and a new career was born.
