The Marketplace at Common Ground

Hello Everyone,

I'm going to start something new today that will hopefully reach more people while "web surfing". I've been thinking of ways to draw more people to join in on the link party and also to round up more readers wanting to shop. So instead of locking us into just being the "Monday" party, I'm going to headline this from now on as The Marketplace at Common Ground. That way, when this post runs on Tuesday we'll still be "current". I've wanted this to be more than just a "link party", but to be a shopping venue where blogland can come to find the newest and best that Etsy and Online Boutiques have to offer. I'd love to hear any ideas that you might have that can spread the word.

This last week we had so many new shop owners listing, and I'm thrilled to see each and every one of you! Thank you!! We've had some big sales recently, and I know that many of you are seeing increased traffic in your shops, YAY!!! If you have a blog, I'd really love it if you could share a blurb on a blog post now and then about "The Marketplace". This isn't just to publicize the party, but to bring in your readers too. More exposure means more listings and more shopping. There were so many great links last week, I could feature all of you, but had to just pick a few:

I'm in love with this wonderful

Little Girl French Pastry Apron

Thank you, everyone who links up, and for all you that come to check out the shopping. I'm excited each week to see all the variety of items. So now if you're listing you can link up three of your items from your Etsy Shops or Online Boutiques. Please link to the individual item if possible. And these don't have to be new items, they can be ones that you've linked before. But please only link up items that are for sale.
And remember that this link up is live all week, so be sure to check back throughout the week to see what's been added. update: several of you have asked, so be watching for a new button!

The Sponsor Spotlight is on Rosekraft this week. Just take a peek at some of these amazing die cut Victorian framed ephemera pieces and vintage post cards. Rose has a huge collection of beautiful hard to find pieces. Here are a few of my favorites.

So glad you've come by, now let's get this rolling!

Hope you'll come back later this week,.
Have fun shopping!
