What a Holiday Rush!

This is my first post since November as I had no idea what Etsy had in store for me for the holiday! =) Last year this time I was still building my inventory and tweaking my pictures. I know that Etsy gets incredibly busy for the holidays but I had no idea that I would be part of it this year! I remember it starting for me in October. I have this need to get orders out as soon as possible because I know how excited people are to get them. I also love signing in to see that "you need to leave feedback message". I still do a happy dance to this day. Its such a great feeling! Once the order is complete, I always leave feedback to get rid of the numbers at the top as a feeling of accomplishment so to speak. Well I was about 42 deep in November...the orders did not stop coming in which was amazing! I was thrilled! I love being able to share my creativity with all of you and I still cannot believe how crazy busy it really gets. I was crocheting about 12-15 hours a day. I thought my husband was going to come home from work one night and find me wrapped up under pounds and pounds of yarn with my crochet hooks stuck to my hands...lol. What a great holiday season. The Etsy community rocks and I am so proud to be part of it!!! Here is to another great year! May 2011 be just as good if not better!

The Huntress

Strong. Powerful. Independent.
The Huntress is on the prowl to take you on your most whimsical adventures. This amazing sweater dress coat is now available in my Etsy shop. Its One of a Kind and there will never be another created exactly like it! I have based this coat off a powerful female hunter. What do you hunt for?


The picture below is a fictional character that portrays a powerful Huntress. I feel I captured this effect in creating this piece. The only thing I am missing in the picture above is the bow and arrows. I don't think getting caught with that would have been a good thing though ;)

My New Best Seller!

My new Carnival Cowl is going like hotcakes! It is the perfect accessory to add to your fall/winter wardrobe this year! Besides the playful colors, I really love the buttons on this one! They are made from coconuts...then again, if you really know me, you would know how much I LOVE my buttons! Finding awesome buttons is becoming an addiction but I guess that beats many other addictions ;)

First Blog Post

Hi everyone! So I finally decided to start blogging! Woot woot! This decision was made partly because I have always wanted to do it, but a big part was wanting to share things with others, like my awesome vintage finds, sneak peeks at what will be posted in my Etsy shop, or random thoughts about what's going on behind the scenes of MegansMenagerie. I am hoping that you will look forward to visiting my blog! Pull up a chair, relax, and enjoy!
