Every Day is Mother's Day!

Every Day is Mother's Day!

 

Here’s to Moms everywhere.  I know…it’s not Mother’s Day, but a few days ago we were featured in a charming treasury…an Etsy gal was honoring her mom’s birthday with a curated collection of things her mom would like.  Our magnet wasn’t about moms, but it was an upbeat magnet about retirement.

Here is the treasury that featured us:  Mom's Moxie

And here is our magnet that was selected: 

 

And that brought me to thinking about my mom and all that she does to help me in my business.

Just as I was thinking about all this, the phone rang and it was my mother.  She had a lead for me from a museum that she had visited.  Now you have to understand that during the 20 years we have been in business making magnets, mom has always “introduced” us wherever she travels.

Now, at 80 something (I’m not allowed to tell you exactly how old she is…LOL) and going strong, she is still my “star” salesperson!  Thanks Mom!

Two other “Mom” Etsy Treasuries that we were featured in this month are:

                                             Mother's Day  and Hot Mother's Day Gifts

both of these featured the same Mom theme magnet:

 

Check them out…some of the curated collection treasury items were humorous, others touching, others just plain nice gifts.  Mother’s Day is coming and there are lots of nice selections.

Thanks to the Treasury curators who selected us for their collections!

And thanks to all those mothers out there…especially mine!

xoxo Mom!

JULY ETSY TREASURIES AND FAVORITES

JULY TREASURIES

The Etsy Treasuries that we were featured in during the month of July are listed here.  Take a look at the collection of curated items with a central theme.  We were very pleased to be selected as part of these collections of Etsy artists.

Here's a cute treasury for "us girls."

This is the one that was selected for this treasury, but click below to see the entire collection.  Titled:  Girls Just Want to have Fun

Another Treasury that I liked is titled  Life is About Creating Yourself

And finally, Primary Lifesaver, a curated collection of art and craft of primary colors.

JULY FAVORITES

And our top five Etsy "Favorites" that were selected for the month were ALL for supplies of our Magnet Sheets or our Ceramic Tile Magnet Blanks.  Make Your Own Magnets is very popular for creating your own special wedding favors, party favors, and Save the Date magnets.  It's also great for turning your child's art into a magnet.  Our previous blog entry has instructions for making your own magnets.

Below is a sheet of magnet with the peel away paper that reveals the adhesive side of the magnet.

We also feature ceramic tile blanks that can be painted and embellished with your choice of craft items.  Painting can be done with glass paint or markers or you can use regular craft acrylic paint and then spray it with an acrylic gloss glaze.  A sharpie pen works well to write your message on top of the glazed magnet.

Thanks for stopping by!

Last Month's Etsy Favorites

Had a wonderful day in the garden.  Hope you enjoyed your day too!

Just looking at the different Etsy "Favorites" magnets for the month of June from our Etsy Shop. 

A "Favorite's" tag for those of you who may not know, is when someone clicks that they like a certain piece of your work or they like your entire shop. 

We thought we'd pick a few of the many tagged favorites for the month of June.   

This was the top favorite! 

It's part of our new MAGNET SUPPLIES section on Etsy.  We decided that people might like to put their "stuff" on a magnet and enjoy it on their fridge.  Others might like to create their own wedding favors, save the dates, or magnets for a family reunion.  So we are now offering our Magnetic Sheets and simple suggestions about How Make Your Own Magnet.  We also have ceramic tile magnet blanks that can be painted on and sprayed with an acrylic glaze.  We're hoping to get our decals available soon with instructions for water slide application onto the tiles.

The next most popular was this teacher magnet.  We offered quite a few teacher quotes this year, and this one seemed to be the most popular.

This humorous GOLF theme magnet came in third.  Golfers Diet...Live on Greens!  'Tis the season for golf and we do a lot of different golf sayings for golf dinners, gifts for golf partners and the like.

Stop by our Etsy Shop at http://www.themagnificentmagnet.etsy.com/ and have a laugh!  Click on your favorites!

Our regular site for gift shop owners, museums, historic sites and wineries features our Regional Line, Museum Designs, and Winery theme magnets

FEATURED ETSY TREASURIES

I Love My Mommy 

Momma Said There Would Be Days Like This

By far, the most popular magnets this year were our Mother-in-law quotes.  We have two sayings and although you might think they are the same, the messages are totally different.  I was very lucky to have had a wonderful mother in law.  I could have given her both quotes as they were both very fitting.  Here’s to my own wonderful mom, mothers and grandmothers everywhere and to all the wonderful mother-in-laws out there who all share the joy of motherhood.

NEW! WEDDING MAGNETS AND PARTY FAVORS FOR ALL OCCASIONS!

Just made and delivered the Wedding Favor magnets for my future niece Ali’s wedding.  Refrigerator Magnets make such a wonderful wedding favors and party favors because they provide a lasting memento of the event that continues to be seen every time the fridge door is opened.  This happens to be a destination wedding in the Outer Banks in North Carolina, so they have selected a seaside theme magnet and are adding their names, date, and location.  This will be a great reminder of what I know will be an amazing weekend.  We have made these refrigerator magnet favors over the years for weddings, both as party favors and Save the Date magnets, family reunions, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, fundraising dinners, and many other events.  These are some of the designs that we suggested to Ali and her mom…can’t tell you which one or if it even appears here because we want to keep it a secret.

 

We are making these Wedding Favors, Save the Dates available in our Etsy Shop, TheMagnificentMagnet.   Stock designs will be featured as well as the ability to have custom magnets made to match the exact theme and colors of the wedding.    Themes for Family Reunions, Baby Showers, Bridal Showers will also be featured.  Although we have been making all of these themes for many years on an individual basis for local customers, we are excited to be launching them nationally on Etsy with quantity pricing.

Well, back to the studio to create more of our Magnificent Magnets!
