Monday Marketplace!

Meet Dee Beeg from IceHouseCrafts! You must check out her blog to see booth pictures from a big 5 day show she did in December! WOW......amazing! Here is a sampling of Dee's work.... I think you can find a sign for every occasion or holiday of the year!
Interview with Dee:
1. What is the name of your Etsy shop and why did you choose that name?
My etsy shoppe is called Icehousecrafts. I choose that name as when I started selling and buying online we lived in an old farmhouse of which was once an icehouse for the farm that we lived on. The walls in the icehouse part of the house were 24” thick stone. The farm was established in 1905.


2. How long have you been on Etsy?
I’ve been selling on etsy since February 2008.

3. What type of items do you offer?
Mostly on etsy I offer hand painted stenciled wood signs. I have also offered hand painted vintage pieces from time to time.


4. How long have you been crafting?
I’ve been doing crafts since I was a young girl...from crochet to macramé and finally to decorative painting. I’ve been painting fulltime since my middle son was a toddler so about 18 years for painting.

5. Who or What inspires you?
Customers are a great source for inspiration. They give you the framework for an idea and things just go from there.

6. What is your favorite item in your shop and why?
I have to say my favorite things in my etsy shoppe right now are my ouija board sign and wrong answer sign. The ouija board sign because as a young girl I was fascinated with “how” it worked. The wrong answer one, well it’s just obvious from looking at it as to why! LOL!

Monday's Market Place






In an effort to promote our Etsy Shops, the Old Farmhouse Gathering Team will be introducing members of the team every Monday on our blogs! This will give you a chance to learn more about us and what motivates our love of crafting.








This week I would like you to meet Joan from Vintage Keepsake Trunk! Check out the Valentine treasures she has created!



Stop by her shop and check out all her creations! http://www.etsy.com/shop/VintageKeepsakeTrunk


1. What is the name of your Etsy shop and why did you choose that name?
www.vintagekeepsaketrunk.etsy.com
I chose this name because I like the idea of searching and finding an old trunk in the attic and opening it to find vintage time-worn treasures from the olden days.

2. How long have you been on Etsy?
Since March 2009

3. What type of items do you offer?
Primitive Folk Art handmade soft-sculpture offerings featuring Art Dolls, Home Decor, Holiday and Seasonal Decorations and Collectibles, all created with that time-worn look.

4. How long have you been crafting?
35 years
5. Who or What inspires you?
I was inspired as a youth by my Great Aunt and Grandmother that taught me to sew on an old Singer Sewing machine. My crafting really took off when I was injured back in my 30's in an accident and was left in chronic pain and forced to change to a sedentary life style. Creating is Therapy for me and helps me to forget the pain and I thoroughly enjoy it!

6. What is your favorite item in your shop and why?
Probably my Art Dolls. I love to dress them in vintage baby clothes from the 1920's and each of them comes out different with their own personality.
