Congratulations BrokenHallelujah!

One of our team mates, Brandy, from Broken Hallelujah just got married last month! What an exciting time for her.  Let's all give her a big Congratulations!!


Beautiful. (and I love your dress!)

So, let's get to know Brandy a little more now.

Angie: "Who inspired you to be an Etsian?"

Brandy: "No on in particular. I was first inspired to join Etsy after hearing so much about it on the Craftster.org message boards several years ago. I decided to take the leap and open up my own shop as a way to help pay for my new obsession with crochet."



Angie: "What is your favorite thing about Etsy?"

Brandy: "I love the amazing creativity of Etsy. Pretty much anything you want (and some things you don't) you can find on Etsy. It's so great. Plus it's full of amazingly creative people. I have made so many great friends here. If I ever have to leave Etsy I will miss it terribly."




Angie: "What is your favorite thing in your shop?"

Brandy: "Right now my favorite thing in my shop are my summer melon mary jane slippers.
I love the bright summer colors & the cool freshness of the combination of green & orange."
I agree, I do love these colors! 



Angie: "Is there anything else you feel everyone should know about you?"

Brandy: "I guess it would be that I opened & have run my Etsy shop as a full time college student. Now I am entering graduate school as a master's student & hope I will be able to keep my shop open. It was tough & I never had the time I wanted to dedicate to the shop, but I still made it work and I'm proud of being my own business owner while working to achieve my academic goals of becoming a Ph.D. in marine biology."

Wow.  That's really amazing, Brandy! If only we all had that sort of dedication.  You've done an amazing job with your etsy shop and I wish you all the best of luck with your graduate program.

I have to show a picture now of my favorite item in your shop! I love the flowers on this set.



Brandy has all sorts of great accessories for women.  She's even got something for the people like me that already know how to crochet! I wouldn't necessarily buy a finished crochet piece from someone else, but crochet patterns are always an option in Brandy's shop!

I hope you've enjoyed getting to know your Brandy!

  3. I love Brandy to death. She was one of my first "regular" twitter buddies and the very 1st person I asked to be on this team (after Yvonne asked me).

    Brandy,

    You are talented and beautiful and I hope to follow your life as you achieve all of your goals!

  6. Congrats, Brandy! I love your shop!

    I am a graduate student and it can be done. Stock up before school starts! Etsy provides a nice break from the books that's for sure.
