Featured Seller: Sweet Liberty Prims

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
sending her hugs!

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
member and I am sure she would love to
hear from you...so please take a moment to
say hi and maybe leave her a little comment.
Thank you Kath for all you do for us...
hugs...pops and the gang!

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!
Hugs...Pops!!!!
