Technically, I began the business part time over a year ago. I've been listing and selling a combination of hand made gifts and home decor items including hand painted wooden signs, hand crafted jewelry, greeting cards, plush toys, cloth pendants, upcycled items, & more! A few months ago I decided to take a giant leap of faith by quitting my day job in order to pursue my home based business full time. I've been a full time crafter for nearly a month now and I'm happy to report my status as "so far so good."
In addition to crafting, I also enjoy writing. I've had a few short stories and poems published over the years; but, to date, my biggest writing accomplishment was the publication of my non-fiction book Shipwrecks of Coos County in April of 2011. The book provides a photograph history of shipwrecks in my little corner of the Oregon coast.
My goals for "Reprieve's Corner" are fairly modest. I lead a fairly low-frill lifestyle, so I'd just like to sell enough of my hand made items to support myself and allow myself more time to spend pursuing my writing.
In the future I'll use this blog to advertise the farmer's markets and craft fairs that I'll be attending. I hope that if you're in the area you'll stop by my booth to say "hi!" I'll also post updates as I create new items to sell.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the products I sell. I also welcome custom orders (e-mail me for details ReprievesCorner@hotmail.com).
