New Etsy Listing: Rustic Birch Chalkboard Gift Tags

Now on Etsy, I have some really cute rustic birch chalkboard tags available.  They are perfect for adding the finishing touch to a small gift - and the best part? They're reusable! 

I plan on having more new items coming soon too, I promise!  

Time to get back to work

After taking the last month or so off from shop-related things it's time to get back to work! I have a huge list of handmade goods I want to make for Birch Landing Home's shop, including banners, centerpieces, signs, gift tags, wooden buttons, and more. 

The photo above shows some of the materials I'll be using for these new items - can't wait to share the finished products with you! 

New Years Sale Extended!

I've decided to extend my big New Years Sale through this Friday, January 16th!  Please check out my shop and take advantage of the sale before I bring in new items for the New Year.  

Don't forget, once the jewelry listings expire I won't be renewing them so get them while you can!  ;)  

Coupon Code Expires 01/16/15

New Years Sale!

Over the next few months I'll be transitioning my shop from a bit of everything to focusing more on home and wedding decor. And so, first order of business is cleaning house: I'm offering 20% off everything through January 10th. If there's a piece of jewelry you were eyeing now would be the time to get it, because once it's gone it's gone for good 😉 

So excited to bring in lots of new products this year!

*Note: I just had someone contact me, worried that I was discontinuing the snowflake ornaments and garland - don't worry folks, I will not be discontinuing them!  Though I am planning to only carry them seasonally in the future (or anytime of year by special request!)

Reflections and Resolutions (Happy New Year!)

Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe New Years!  With a little one now I spent my evening like I do most.. putting her to bed, working on Birch Landing things, then curling up on the couch to watch some TV with the hubby.  
Pretty wild and crazy, huh?  I wouldn't have it any other way.  

Reflections

This has been a pretty big year for me, for us:  Becoming a new mom with ten million new things to learn (and am still learning), getting into the groove of staying home full-time with our little one, starting this little Etsy business, and getting a photo of our ornaments into Martha Stewart Living, to name just a few of the amazing things that happened this year.  We're very blessed and I am so very thankful.  

Resolutions

What's New Years without some personal resolutions?
1.  I'd love to get back into running.  I ran pretty regularly until I was 8 months pregnant, stopped, and then never really got back into it but it's about time I do.
2.  Ruthlessly cleaning out and reorganizing the basement and closets is also a priority.  We have too much stuff (and I have wayyy too many clothes), it's time to lighten that load.  
3.  And of course I'd love to grow this little business as much as I can - I have lots of ideas for wedding decorations, decor, and accessories all in a rustic theme.  I'm planning on phasing out some items in my shop over the next few months to transition Birch Landing Home into its new identity.  You can expect our Etsy shop to officially find its niche in 2015.

I want to thank you all for giving me a great start in 2014 and I'm looking forward to making 2015 even more successful!  

Cheers!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from Birch Landing Home! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. 

Love, Sarah
