I have been interviewed by QueenBe, a fellow etsy artist! An absolute doll, Carol has an interview with me posted on her blog, http://queenbesalteredneeds.blogspot.com/. I am so flattered! Thanks, Carol :)
Like a well-loved quilt, the story of "the Poet's Daughter" is colorful and intricate :) Originally, the Poet's Daughter was just me, Erin, the oldest of three sisters. I had sold items on Ebay as merryoldemoon for years, and after learning about Etsy, I opened a shop in September of 2008. Meanwhile, my sister Kristen had been selling on eBay since 2005. She is a scrapbook artist, "queennostalgia", who also dabbles in mixed media and altered art. Her work is known for including whimsical touches and vintage finds, along with an olde fashioned feel. Earlier this year we started creating art together, sharing a studio. I have two teenagers, she has twin three-year-olds, and we have three cats between us, but even in this chaos we find our combined creativity. Now my etsy store, "The Poet's Daughter", features unique items that we have created together. I do most of the sewing and hand-stitching, she is the photographer and writer, we both love to play with paper and vintage pictures... between the two of us, we have created a nostalgic mercantile, filled with vintage pretties and unique supplies for fellow artists.
You're welcome!
