Want to OWN your favorite song?

You can now own one of your favorite songs. Head to http://www.songvest.com/ to see what is being auctioned now. They have The Monkees theme song with a starting bid of $100,000.00. Yup, then you will get a percentage of the royalties every time it plays.

If I had $100,000.00 to spare - I know what I'd be doing. It's obvious this economy is affecting every one of us.

DIY - Photography Light Tent

While looking through the Etsy Forums I found a seller looking for ways to make a lightbox for better photos of jewelry. This article link was posted and I am so excited to have found it. It is perhaps the best lighting box tutorial that I have ever seen on the web - and also a very inexpensive way of increasing revenues in your store (or just taking better photos!). Read the original blog post here.

Ciao ciao and I hope you find what you're looking for!

DIY Project - Make Your Own Scarf!

I was looking around the DIY network when I found this great project (click me). Hand-paint your own scarf! Perfect for this chilly autumn weather. Enjoy!

Pounce and Yee Shall Find...

I've decided I should be using the Pounce feature more often on Etsy after I found this eco-friendly tanktop at ancientfurniture's (click it!) Etsy Shop! She has some really unique designs and although she is fairly new to Etsy (September 29, 2008), she already has 13 items up that make me want to shop!

Happy Shopping!
