Normally, I would be writing about our Shop of the Week. But my shop Handmade By Sandi is being featured as the shop of the week and my Etsytwitter team leader has written such a glowing post (blushing), I don’t feel right tooting my own horn.

So today I decided to show you what I bought from the Sneak Attack shops that I visited last nite. Find out more about the Etsy Sneak Attack group!

The first shop I visited was Poz Art – Home of the Famous and Original “TIMI” – Tile Mini Magnets. and 2 sisters who decided to live our passion and dream. We love art and we wanted to become part of the Etsy community and sell our designs.

These tiny tile magnets all have cupckes on them – yummy!! And tiny magnets are all the rage right now!

The next shop I visited was venedaum123 This delightful shop offers rings made with vintage unusual buttons.

I love pink so this was perfect for my purchase!

The last shop I visited was Sweet Galaxy Another shop with a food theme – I found that I was getting hungry doing this shopping
Steffi from Puerto Rico studies English Literature at the University there and creates jewelry out of polymer clay, beads and wires in her freetime.
Aren’t these the cutest earrings?

Now don’t get me wrong – I’m on a budget like everyone else. So when I started doing Sneak Attacks a almost 3 weeks ago, I went into it – to help other Etsy shops as well as get a few things that I could use for birthday and Christmas gifts. And maybe my buying is coming to an end – unless it’s really something I have to have

The point I’m trying to make here – is that there are numerous ways to support our Etsy shops! Do a blog post about shops you see being Sneak Attacked – that will help give them a little bit of exposure. Tweet about the Sneak Attack group – and provide the nudge for others to take part.

It’s kind of like helping  your community. You may not know the people being helped, but it’s a way of giving back and the satisfaction of knowing that you helped someone really makes a difference.
