ETSY Question

   
 

I hope I am not opening a whole can of worms here, but I'm hoping someone can help me understand about some items on ETSY.
I asked about buying some digital work from a vendor.
Her write up says they may not be used for making things for friends, or for commercial use.
I emailed and asked if I can make some things to sell at my little gift shop.
The answer was no. they are not for commercial use. (guess I never though of my little place as 'commercial'. I thought it meant like making thousands).
So, if I cannot use them to make gifts, and I cannot make a few to sell, are they just meant to be used for making myself something??
I have another inquiry to the vendor to clarify, but just wanted some feedback from my friends here.

I hope no one gets their feathers ruffled over this, but I guess I think if you pay for an item, you should be able to use it more freely. (please do not yell at me. I'm feeling very sensitive today.)

Toy Telephone & Milk Cartons

 Today is Rednesday........ so here is my red sampling for you.

I know this old toy phone is not bright shiny red any more....

 and it does have splashes of other colors....

 

but I just had to show it to you anyway. cool huh??????

 

and here are some old milk cartons.

 I thought since they said Chula Vista Dairy

they must be from California...but.....

 They are actually from right here in Eugene.

Must have been long ago,

 cause I grew up here and never heard of it before.

So, two new additions to the shop. Fun!

Thanks for visiting, now please go see even more reds.

Blue Monday, and This & That

 Blue Monday brought to you by Smiling Sally.

This is a small hand stitched table cloth.......

 that has a small pocket on each side, with a cute little napkin in it. sweet???

 and this is a vintage pillow top. Hand stitched also.

This is not part of my blue..... just some Rustic Stuff from the shop.

 What is it??

 Looks like a lizard tongue.

 I have some of these wood shoe things at the store,

but have never seen one with this metal screw thing before.

Anyone know how it works or what it is for? thanks

 

If you love blue go on over.

 

Thanks for hosting Sally.

blessings all and have a great week.

Crow Pumpkins Closeups

New vignette at the store.
Love that little violin in the suitcase.
hand made but never finished. still fun

Here are some crow pictures for my friend Dorthe
at den lille lade.
She has an adorable blog, and does unique and
wonderful art for her ETSY shop.
Crow Pumpkin #1 (above) This guy has silver bling in his nest,
a chain in his mouth, and cheesecloth, feathers, and spiders everywhere.
#1 SOLD. Thank you Dorthe. =)

#2  More bling, and and egg in his nest.. Shredded paper,
and of course spiders are hanging out at his place too.
This guy has a feather in his mouth to fluff up his nest.

 

#3 Some fall leaves add a bit of color to this one.

and more bling. This time gold.

All the crows have built their nests on black 

pumpkins with sequins on them, and a

little twig to fluff cheesecloth on and

make a home for the spiders. =)

OK Dorthe, choose your fave and I'll get it off to you. =)

blessings all and have a great weekend.
