Now Playing - Sound Of Sunshine by Michael Franti and Spearhead
Life -
I was looking at my Etsy Shoppe offerings the other day and sighed. It was doing well - better than I could have hoped. There's some really fun stuff over there and it's getting attention, but not as much as I wanted. How are we to quit our jobs, buy a Motel and live off our writing and Etsy income? I thought.
My wife walked by and said, "You should make some Harry Potter Light Switch Covers."
"Yes, yes, dear. You love Harry Potter." I said in my most Patronus-izing voice.
"No really - look at these ones on this site. People love Harry Potter!"
"I love Harry Potter too," I said, like every man that is married to a woman that loves Harry Potter would say if he ever wanted sweet, sweet loving again.
I eyed the competition. The four leaf clover shaped scar over my eyebrow furrowed. "Those kind of look like crap. What is that - neon fabric and glitter?"
"Exactly!" she crowed triumphantly.
"Exactly what?!?" I asked, Sirius Blackly.
"Look at their sales."
"Sweet pogo-sticking Dumbledore in the morning!" I said. ""Out of my way, Muggle - I have Switchplates to design! To the Fortress Of Smallitude!"
So now, in book two, my shop is doing better. my views are up and people really seem to dig my new items. Maybe a little part of my soul get's Avada Kedavra'd each time I make a HP plate instead of a scrimshaw carving of a schooner, but if it fills the vault and frees my house elves, I'll do it.
Check out all of the new Harry Potter Switch Plates at the Official Deeply Dapper Etsy Shoppe!
(Note - This post was written after I may or may not have inhaled a large amount of fumes from paint and melted plastic. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the zoo. Slithers and I have a game of cribbage to finish.)

Great to see your Etsy Sight getting some business. I've had my eye on a chalkboard skull but my wife won't let me have it in the house. She is repulsed by them for some strange reason. I'm still working on it though. I may need to move my curiosity cabinet to work.
