Lobster Buoy Wedding Favors Journey to my Etsy Shop

I'm going to ramble a bit, I'm so excited about the direction my Etsy Shop is going and,

stepping out of my comfort zone and documenting the journey of my creative offerings...  

My newest offerings on my Etsy Shop http://www.bethscraftroom.etsy.com/ are Mini Lobster Buoys.  This time of year, they make the perfect Wedding Favor for your Guests.  They look great personalized.  I originally painted these buoys white with a handpainted Lobster on them, as Christmas Ornaments and sold  a number of them in the Etsy Shop.  In fact, a few weeks ago, a New England Bride was surfing the net to find a Lobster Buoy Wedding Favor for her guests that could be personalized and she stumbled upon my Sold Items Page of my Etsy Shop.  She contacted me, I made up some samples, I gave her a quote and she said Yes!  I will unveil the completed buoys after her Wedding this Fall, since they will be gifts for her guests.  In the mean time, I have now begun offering them in sets of three's and five's.

Hurry!!  The unassembled Mini Lobster Buoys arrived in the mail.

I put  little drop of glue in the whole and insert the dowel.
