Introducing: Gotta Have It - Link Up


Whatcha Got?

Hey gang, it's the first link party at Mercantile Muse! Stacey at A Sort of Fairytale has done such a great job with her link parties and supporting other online shop owners, I thought it might be nice to try the same thing, and if there is enough response and thumbs up for the link up, it may just become a regular feature. I for one, love trying new things while supporting fellow artists, crafters and vintage purveyors. If you like the idea too and have an online shop like we do (check out Bates Mercantile Co.) or a 3D shop, handmake, design or upcycle your own prodcuts, or sell vintage, this is the place to let others know just what you've got. The Gotta Have It link up will run from Thursday until 6pm on Saturday, so if you know others who would like to link up, please spread the word any way you can. This is all about supporting fellow esty shop owners as well as other artists, crafters and vintage sellers.  If you like the idea of the link up enough to participate, it sure would be nice if you became a follower of Mercantile Muse if you're not already.

If you have a blog, feel free to grab the Gotta Have It button, to let your followers know you are part of the Gotta Have It link up and to direct them to Mercantile Muse.....by the way, that would be really awesome.

Remember, it's up to you guys to make this a regular feature, so link away.  If you don't happen to be a shop owner, but have something to say about the link up, please free to offer feedback as well. Everyone's opinion counts here.

Once you link up, 'share the love' and post a comment and let me know how you're following.......I really like hearing from you! (Note: add the url to your item where it says 'url to your blog post'!)

  9. Pamela thank you for commenting on my blog. Also thank you so much for having this blog carnival. My son has a blog about health and nutrition and he finds blog carnivals often. After he told me I started keeping my eye out for stuff similar to me and it wasn't as easy as I thought. I don't have an online store yet my blog is so new but I will be putting some pieces up for sale soon. Check out my posts if you have time and subscribe so that you will see when I announce the store.

  10. Traci......more than welcome. Be sure to check other shops you may not now!

    Andrea, as you decide how to set up your online shop, be sure to check out etsy. It has allowed me and others, to sell to people we wouldn't have reached otherwise. Great community too. There are other online marketplaces but I can't speak to them as our shop is currently only on etsy. It's certainly worth a look.
