My Mom’s “Secret Glory”

It’s time I opened up.  My Mom has an addiction…to gardening!  Here is one of her recent pictures - I really like this one because dh and I had irises in our wedding:

On more than one occasion my mom has said, “I don’t know why I never did anything with the yard when you kids were younger…”   I, in turn, swiftly remind her that it’s probably because she was working practically 3 jobs and raising 2 children.

A no brainer!

There are so many beautiful pictures I’d like to share here, but she plans to sell them online someday soon, and I don’t want to ruin that for her.

Speaking of, if you are reading this and know something about selling a product like this, consider sharing your experience.  You can share your story right here on my site – she’s my mom and she visits often :)

Thanks!

  1. Is she selling them on Etsy.com? http://www.etsy.com
    My addiction, where I find all things handmade. If she doesn’t know about Etsy it’s a great place for her to get started and then move on her own as she gets a following. My cousin & sister in law both have shops.

    • I did recommend Etsy to her after I learned about it from you, and she checked them out :) I think she needs to head to the US Copyright site first and then dig deeper into becoming a shop owner. What do your cousin and sister sell? Do they have any advice? How can I check their sites out – will you post links, please? Thanks, sister ;)

      On a side note, I love the illustrations on their site. I contacted them a while ago and asked who does their work so I could look into them for future books. They’re done by a woman named Anda. I think they’re great!

      • Here are the shop sites: http://www.ruffled.etsy.com http://www.madandzo.etsy.com I think they both just went for it, they signed up and started selling. Your mom is probably smart to to the US Copyright thing. I suppose with photos it’s different. Enjoy their shops!

  2. Thanks. I should make some of my books by hand and sell them there :)
