These beautiful earrings are simply an acrylic and metal bead on a head pin finished with silver-toned fish hooks. Simple, citrus-y, fun! The translucent acrylic beads look like hard candies…although I am afraid that they wouldn’t taste as good!

Approximate length 1 3/4 inches total (4.5cm).

Right now, I want to talk about becoming a sponsor. When I first started writing about our sponsors, I mentioned Being a sponsor is not about self promotion. It’s about providing a way for a new Etsy shop to have their items noticed, hearted, and perhaps find their way into some one’s home.

And that is still true.

Do you remember your first sale on Etsy? How excited you were when you got that email that said you had a sale, and how warm and fuzzy you felt, that someone saw something in your shop that they just had to have.

Etsy is a large community that spans the globe and new shops are appearing daily. Of course buyers span the globe as well. And it’s a nice feeling to know that you have helped a brand new shop get seen by a lot of those buyers. We want those new shops to have that warm and fuzzy feeling too!

If you have ever chatted with us on one of our Sneak Attack threads, you know how much fun we have. And our sponsors have a lot of fun as well, deciding which of the many new shops they see, that they would like to help.

The first few times I sponsored a sneak attack, I made sure that I had a co-sponsor. We have a number of sneaky friends who have been sponsors lots of times, and all you have to do is ask – one of us will be glad to work along side you to help that Etsy shop get a good start!

What do you need to know about sponsoring a Sneak Attack?

The first requirement is, a sponsor needs to have been active (posting, not buying) in the Sneak Attack threads for several weeks before they are given a date to sponsor an attack, that gives them time to figure out how it is done and for the Sneakers to get to know them

After this, if the person still wants to sponsor an attack, they are sent an instruction sheet on how to pick shops, and what the requirements are for a shop to be eligible for an attack.

They will be sent all the instructions on what has to be done to have a successful attack.

If you feel like you would like to sponsor an attack, please convo http://www.etsy.com/shop/laruefashions, and she will be more than happy to help.

In the meantime, come chat with us in our Sneak Attack thread for today. And our attack happens at 4pm Etsy time!

Bridget began playing around with creating Attitude T’s when she had her son. ‘Boy’s clothes are just not as much fun as girls and I wanted a way to make his wardrobe a little more reflective of his personality and so Smart sAss Baby was born.’ Says Bridget in her Etsy Profile. Now we all can benefit from Bridget’s designs.

I know you want to run right off and check out Smart sAss Baby but you will want to register for the Handmade Giveaway before you go. Then browse through all of Bridget’s wonderfully unique designs and pick out your favorite. That special Tee could be yours if you win the drawing on October 7th. The winner will be announced at 6:00pm in the Sneak Attack Forum Thread but you will receive an email if you have won. Now off to register and Good Luck!
