Custom Doesn’t Mean Expensive

mikicatdesigns | September 2, 2009

This article is coming out of a wonderful discussion I had with a very talented goldsmith who is trying to educate people on exactly what custom work is. He writes this whole article on his site where he talks about fabricating a ring for you, or making a wax carving and then manufacturing it for [...]

I made a Sale!!

mikicatdesigns | August 19, 2009

I’m blocked for blogging. While I love to write and think I do it well, I don’t always know what to write about. After a wonderful chat with the Florida Etsy Street Team tonight, I was complaining about not having any sales. I’ve been with Etsy for many months now and only made one online [...]

"Miscellaneous Information"

Most of our articles are written by Miki. I guess you could call Cat the 'silent' partner in this endeavor. If you have ever sat down and tried to hold a prolonged conversation with your cat then you know they are not very talkative (unlike dogs who will stare at you for hours and pretend they are listening). Please feel free to email Cat if you have any need for info on Psychic Counseling, Reiki Healing, Chakras or Auras or just for the heck of it. :)
