Good Morning Cottage Style Street Team and I hope
this blog post finds you happy, healthy and busy
for the upcoming holiday season which has officially
started! Many of you have participated in the
Black Friday and The Cyber Monday events on Etsy
and I hope that the sales are rolling in for everyone!
Today we have are featuring our friend Connie from
VintageTinsel.etsy.com Connie is a delight and such
a wonderful team member, friend and Cssteam Family
member. Always out there on the forums posting and
promoting us all. I thought that this little
Christmas Shoppe is perfect for a little spotlight
this week so I hope you have fun strolling through
this adorable shoppe for vintage holiday goodies!
Before we go shopping...let's get to know Connie
a little bit better! As you all know we are doing
a little fun bio of our members now so I hope you
enjoy!
Let's start with FAVORITES : )
favorite food pizza
favorite color yellow
favorite tv shows American Idol, House
favorite music country
favorite movies Heidi with Shirley Temple
your favorite vintage piece impossible to say, I love all vintage
Connie and family have a special little pet named Bosco, a boxer.
He likes to be picked up like a child when you come home and hug you.
He will very emotional and will sit and cry if you ignore him.
If you were stranded on an island...what 5 things would you
take with you? My 5 kids, maybe not what you meant, but they
are my pride and joy and the only thing that matters to me.
Now I asked...what would you take if the kids were a given :)
here is that answer...
Survival??? Mascara,lipstick, good book, coffee, iced tea with
lemon, I'd be set! Now, I'm wondering what that says about
me??? I started drinking coffee at age 14 on a camping trip,
of course with lots of cream and sugar. I now drink it black.
Ice tea was served at every meal. I was a bookworm growing up
and still love to read but don't have the time. And makeup?
Well, can't live without that! I sold cosmetics for several
years and can never have enough!!
How long have you been business?
I started in 1993 by selling in antique malls.
How long have you sold on line?
2 1/2 years, but it seems longer than that!
what prompted you to sell online? to generate more income.
How many sites to you sell on and give the links :
My Trinkets and Treasures
http://www.mytrinketsandtreasures.com/
(being switched to a new domain with my etsy
shop name Antiques Galore Gal)
Bewitching Hollow
www.BewitchingHollow.com
Antiques Galore Gal
www.antiquesgaloregal.etsy.com
Vintage Tinsel
www.vintagetinsel.etsy.com
Antiques Galore Gal
http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/AntiquesGaloreGal/edit#
Do you sell off line in an antique or craft shop?
I started in 1993 by selling in antique malls.
At one time I was in 5 different ones, 2 of which were 1
hour away in different directions from my home.
I opened up a brick and mortar in Kimmswick, Missouri
almost 8 years ago. Kimmswick is a historical town with
90 residents that sits on the banks of the mighty
Mississippi river. It is about 30" south of St. Louis.
Anything else you would like us to know : )
I am a proud member of the etsy cssteam.
Well I bet you know Connie a lot better now and hope
you enjoyed your little visit with her...now let's
take a peek at VintageTinsel.etsy.com and don't forget
to drop by AntiquesGaloreGal.etsy.com! Thank you Connie
for being such a wonderful family member!!! We all
are sending you hugs and please send Connie a heart if
you all ready haven't and drop a little comment for a smile!

Featured Seller: RoseRidgeCreations
Good Morning Cottage Style Street Team and HAPPY MONDAY!
Well I have been looking around at all the incredible listings
that we have from CSST and WOW and I impressed and we hit
OVER the 10,000 mark -- how great is that! We are making out
mark in the wonderful world of ETSY and I hope more and more
people begin to notice us...we sure do have style and talent
that is all I can say. I wish you all tons of sales and the
start of a HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!!!
Well it is time for another Featured Member of the WEEK!!!!
Today we celebrate RoseRidgeCreations.etsy.com -- Oh what
a delightful shoppe she has! You have to take a peek and
send her your heart! RoseRidge is always busy promoting the
team and being a great friend to all! We so appreciate her
and everything that she does! Now as you know we started a
new format so we get to know our team mates a little bit better!
Well here in her own words is a insiders view!
And here's my story: My favorite food is anything that my
husband cooks. He's such a wonderful cook that I actually hate
to go to restaurants. My favorite color is green. It's the color
of nature and life. I love reality shows. Blame it on the voyeur
in me. I love to see how other people live. I love all kinds of
good music, but am really enjoying the new Barbara Streisand cd.
My favorite single of the moment is the Black Eyed Peas "Today's
Gonna Be a Good Day." It's such a positive song and it's
impossible to be in a bad mood when you hear it. My favorite
movies are City of Angels, An Affair to Remember and A Star
Is Born. Both versions of the last two. A good movie is a good
movie no matter when it's made. My favorite vintage piece is my
grandmother's wedding ring that I inherited when she passed on.
It makes me smile every time I look at it. She was a wonderful woman.
Everyone on Etsy knows my pet. She's the star of my shop.
Miss Bianca is the light of my life and I love spending everyday
with her. I rescued her from the wrong family that was giving
her away and she's loved me for it ever since. We recently
rescued a cat that was dropped in our neighborhood. She showed
up very sick and emaciated and she's the picture of health now.
The only problem is Miss Bianca doesn't like to share.
We're working on that. They're slowing warming up to one another.
If I were stranded on a desert island the five things I'd want
to have with me are these two little furry angels and my hubby,
my hubby, my hubby. If I have these guys I have everything.
I've been sewing for 37 years, but only charging for my creations
for the last year. About a year ago I started getting a strong
message from my employer that my job was in danger and I was
given my walking papers on March 4th of this year.
Very shortly after that I opened my Etsy shop and have been
loving the creative environment. Etsy has helped me make
lemonade out of the lemons that life has given me. I have
tried selling on other sites and there just isn't the same positive
environment that I've found on Etsy. I feel like this is exactly
what I'm supposed to be doing at exactly the right time in my
life. Thank you Etsy and all the wonderful and talented people
who buy and sell here!
Wasn't that FUN!!!! drop a little comment throughout the week!
CONGRATS and we all thank you for being our friend!!!! : )

Featured Seller: AVintageObsession
Good Morning Cottage Style Street Team! I hope you
has a FABULOUS weekend. Can you believe that we
are in the middle of July all ready? Do you
hear sleigh bells ringing? That can only
mean one thing...Christmas in JULY is here! I know
that many of you have been busy creating like little
elves...listing and tagging for the event and I for
one am very excited to see what you have come up
with. For those of you that do not know exactly what
to do it is very simple. You have to tag all of
your special Holiday wares with Cssteam of course
and then another tag Christmas in July and if you
would like to add a third it would be CIJ. Many
other fellow etsians have also joined in the
spirit of the holidays are are celebrating just
like we are and some are using CIJ so if you would
like it is probably not a bad idea for a little
extra exposure but if not...NO problem you will be
found. I will be popping into the "team" forum
today to make our announcement and please drop by
there and add a link to your shoppe and of course
promote other members. It is very difficult to
keep two threads alive i know but maybe we can
give it a try...the more exposure the better. I
will post the link to the new thread in our
present forum (in a little while...etsy is down
for maintenance.) Well the easy part is done
all the creating and tagging...now we have to
promote and hopefully sell your beautiful items.
I know it seems like there should be more fanfair
but in the world of the wonderful web we have
to make our own bells and whistles : ) so the
bells are ringing and the whistles are blowing
and let's try to keep them making noise through
out the 2 weeks! Here's wishing you all the
best and tons and tons of sales!!!! I know I
will be promoting you all right and left...why?
Because you are the GREATEST most wonderful
group of giving...caring...interesting...
loving ladies I have ever had the pleasure
to be around! A true family of friends!
Now for the moment we all wait for each week

time...am I going out to dead air?????" come on you

say YES it does make a difference and the difference
is exposure and familiarity! So exercise those fingers

Good Morning once again Ladies (PLEASE READ
the post that follows this one : ) some very
important and FUN CSSTEAM news!
Well...today we have an extra special Featured
Member of the week...drumroll please...Kath
from the very FABULOUS and creative shoppe
SWEETLIBERTYPRIMS.etsy.com. Today the
spotlight shines on her...by the way for
some of you that don't know...she also runs
OutOnAWhim.etsy.com, INeedThat.etsy.com,
and GetHappy.etsy.com WOW right! Kath is
a wonderful lady and such an incredible
support to the CSSTEAM...we want her to know
how much she is appreciated...so we are

SweetLibertyPrims is filled with precious
cottage style goodies that you will enjoy
feasting your eyes upon. I personally
LOVE the egg collections that she has and
they are displayed picture perfect! This
shoppe portrays Kath's primitive side
with beauty and grace.
I would love you to know more about Kath
so I am including her little profile for
everyone to read:
I am an Altered Artist, Junker, Vice President
of our private ambulance service, Mom of 4 boys
and wife, not necessarily in that order! I began
creating as a child, and have done Primitive
painting, sewing, and stitchery, and my current
obsession, altered art! I've done shows,
consignment, mall booths, antique booths and
a little wholesale. I am now primarily selling
online! After several years of scrapbooking
the kids' pictures, I began to do other
papercraft type projects! I am currently
focusing on primitive and whimsical altered
art, such as handmade journals, prim tags,
and anything else I can find to alter!
And having a ball with it! My work has
been featured in Country Marketplace
and Merchantile Gatherings Magazines,
and on the cover of the Ohio Country Register!
Well I hope you enjoyed learning a
little bit more about this great CSSTEAM

NEW CSSTEAM POSTING CONTEST!!!! FUN FOR ALL!
Good Morning Cottage Style Street Team. Hope you
had a wonderful weekend and are all set for the
fabulous week ahead of us. Well not only do we
have an outstanding Feature Member of the Week we
also have some CSSTEAM news. As many of you know
by reading our forums our very own
StarryDeborah.etsy.com has a SENSATIONAL idea on
how to get more posts and more exposure for our
team. She thought that having a CSSTEAM give-
away basket for the highest poster would be great
and so many of us totally agree... so that is what
we are going to do. Right now we are in
stage 1...collecting little gifts throughout our
team. You can donate anything that you like...
nothing is too small or too large...anything
that you feel as though would be fun for a
fellow member...there are no restrictions...just
something that would be enjoyable and that would
be just about everything that you creative
ladies do. Supplies are also soooooo welcome!!!
We are going to have them shipped to my home
and I will create a basket...depending on how
many goodies we get will depend if there is a
second and third place prize also : ) So ANYONE
that would like to participate...please send your
donation to:
Andrea Cammarata
10 Orchard Place
Wayne, NJ 07470
We will be collecting the entire month of April
and then the contest starts on May 1st and runs
straight through the whole month : ) Just to
let you all know we might need a TIE-BREAKER
so what we will do in that case is take the
high poster for April and add that to the
scores to break the tie so posting for the next
2 months is crucial : ) No one is a looser
because it gives everyone great exposure.
One other little idea is tagged to this one...
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE it for anyone that is
sending a donation to this event to send a
little I LOVE ETSY item...a button...a tag...
a barrette...a card...ANYTHING that you feel
like creating!!! and add that to the package...
my idea here is to collect all of these litte
I love Etsy items...create a fun basket and
PHYSICALLY bring it to our friends at ETSY
in Brooklyn NY on open day Mondays!!! I
really want to promote our team and I
thought that would be a really FUN way to do
it. It does not have to be big...just
something fun that reflects our love for
ETSY! Remember...none of these items are
going to be for sale...they are totally
going to be used as a gift to ETSY and our
give-away baskets for the HIGHEST posts in
our team. I personally can't wait to see
what will be coming in...only 1 item and
it is TOTALLY YOUR CHOICE!!!! remember to
tag your item with your stores name and
of course your name. I am hoping maybe
we might be able to do a storque article
when it is all done : )
If you have any questions...just convo me
at popalicious.etsy.com or
popalicioustoo.etsy.com I will be happy to
fill in any of the blanks for you!
Oh yes...as I said in the posts...I am
taking myself out of this contest : )
ENJOY and hope to hear from you all soon!

Featured Seller: CatNapCottage
Good Morning to all of my friends on the Cottage Style
Street Team. My wish for you is to have a week filled
with love, creativity, understanding, motivation,
happiness, health and joy. Remember to take a moment
to be thankful for all the gifts that God has given
you or whatever you believe in. Also don't let any
opportunity pass you by to show your loved ones that
they are treasured. Enjoy each passing day.
Well it is that time again...it's Monday and of course
we have a new Cottage Style Street Team member of the
week...drumroll please........It is Cindy from the
CatNapCottage.etsy.com but from the start I dubbed
her the Royal QUEEN of Chenille!!!! One look at her
incredible shoppe on Etsy and there will be NO question
why that name was given to her.
Cindy is a vintage textile collector and pillow
designer. She has assembled a large array of vintage
fabrics through her travels so each pillow is all
about the fabric it is made from. Each one is special
and has it's own story...how wonderful is that! Cindy
has a special love of barkcloth and has collected
hundreds of yards of this magical fabric...rich with
color...design...texture and history. Not only
does she create she shares these treasures in her
shoppe so others can use their imagination and
talents to conjure up a delightful work of art.
The CatNapCottage.etsy.com is filled with all kinds
of special vintage finds! You must drop by and take
a peek...you will enter a Cottage Land that you will
not want to leave. Cindy is a valuable and wonderful
asset to the Cottage Style Street Team and we are
honored to have her with us. A team player and a
delight!
So...make some time and go visit her...it will be a
journey that you enjoy for sure. You will feel all
warm and cozy after your eyes feast on the soft,
fluffy, nubbie and let's not forget yummy and
delicious chenille that has all the comfort of a
a helping of warm homemade peach cobbler with
ice cream! Enjoy! Sending you all hugs...pops
Please leave Cindy a little note to say HI! : )
I have just read the forum posts and our friend
Cindy from the CatNapCottage needs prayers for
some family problems that are serious. Please
take a moment and send Cindy and her family some
prayers and warm thoughts. Hoping and praying
that things get better in your lives.

Featured Seller: SimplyFrenchDesigns
Good morning Cottage Style Street Team...hope you
all had a fabulous weekend and enjoyed some of the
warmer weather that blew in for a few days. The
team listings look so beautiful and so SPRING TIME!
Love seeing the sweet Easter Treats and all the
pastels adorning the pages. Looking forward to
seeing more and more incredible creations from the
best team on ETSY : )
Today we are featuring someone that is no stranger
to any of us...Denise from TheSeasonalCottage.etsy.com
but this time wearing her SimplyFrenchDesign.etsy.com
hat or should I say beret! She has this absolutely
delightful shoppe that is like a French Pastry shoppe
filled with delicate treats that will become the
muse to your art. You must drop by and take a peek!
You will say...oooooolala!
Denise is also one of the biggest supporters here
in the wonderful world of the Cottage Style Street
Team...she is always posting finding fabulous goodies!
Denise also shares all the information that she
finds out with us...the latest in Twitter...Etsy...
New Sites and so much more...a generous and giving
friend to us all. We want to let her know how much
she is appreciated and loved here. Hugs to you
Denise from us all!
Now...Denise wrote a little bit about why she
created SimplyFrenchDesigns.etsy.com and wanted to
share it with all of you...so here it is in
Denise's own words : ) I am sure you will enjoy
this little piece of history, I know I did.
I am of French descent on both sides of my family
and as my grandmother use to point out - no one
"intermarried" until this generation. Both sides
of the family tree have been researched back to
the 1600's in Saint-Jean-de-Mortagne, Perche
(Normandy) France. My ancestors on my Dads side
- Our name was originally "Guyon" now Dion,
traveled from France to Quebec and were among
the original 43 settlers of Quebec. (We visited
there and there are parks and streets named after
my ancestors - which my sons thought was very cool)
My fathers parents were from Quebec. My mother was
raised with French as her first language at home
and the Catholic schools she attended. My father's
parents immersed themselves in the English language
and raised their children to be bi-lingual.
My parents spoke French to each other but we spoke
only English. So enough rambling. I have always been
fascinated with my culture and have collected
everything French (both old and new) for many years.
I just find it comforting in some weird way.
Please stop in and say hi to Denise I know she
will so love to see you! Hugs...pops!
