SO anyway, after a year+ of looking for one, I made my own. And now I made one for you guys too! The leather piece is in a cuuuute scalloped wooden frame I painted - will be a part of a whole wallhanging collection coming soon!

Man, they have not been out in the places I’ve been looking - I’m thinking either Wisconsin was not big into them in the 70s or no one is giving them up to the thrifts. All the other amazing finds are out there in force in dusty little thrifts up here but not those.

put you in the back of the queue again.
Anyways, thanks for being there for us, it was a rollercoaster of a couple days. Now, what can I make for ya? We got some catching up to do! 🎉🥰😅

we e-mailed Etsy and then sent new requests through that same email thread asking for help. They never responded but we were told that it would help move up our help request. No idea if it did but just in case I wanted to share. The main thing I was told was not to open new email threads as it might

I was genuinely afraid we would be lost in a limbo similar to the ocean of messages that kept pouring in over the past two days. If you are reading this and you are in the same situation, I am so sorry. I hope your shop comes online as quickly as possible. We did do one thing that was recommended -

feel absolutely awful for all those who are still locked out. There are so many messages from people who haven’t had access to their shops for MONTHS. People who have had the proceeds of their sales held for months. These are stories from those who said they were asked to provide the same info as us

pretty high anyway and then this? 100% overload. The main thing that made my imagination run overboard was that my posts on Threads kinda took off like wildfire and there are hundreds of replies of horror stories that people have gone through with Etsy. I am so relieved to have our shop back up but

absolutely crashed and went back to sleep once we heard. We were up to the wee hours last night trying to figure out what to do and man, the stress of this whole thing was overwhelming. Normally I take things a bit more in stride but there are a few things going on in the world that have my anxiety

This is a very scary time and a shocking realization that it can be this easy to destroy a small business. We have a newsletter you can sign up for on our personal shop site. Follow us here, get on the list for the newsletter, we don’t want to lose touch with you❤️

on our smaller Shopify shop, just message me and we’ll make it happen! We are still open even though Etsy put up a message on our behalf saying we aren’t open to new orders! How dare they. We are OPEN. This shop is the only income for my husband and myself.

But the traffic Etsy’s marketplace drives to our Etsy shop is 95% of our sales. I have struggled to get any traction on IG and other social media as I’ve wished I could pull away from Etsy for years. Please know, while we are down over on Etsy, our Shopify is open. If what you see on our IG isn’t

they decide to give us back our shop. Our licenses were correct and up to date before they required us to re-upload them. To answer a question that many people have asked and suggested here on IG and Threads - we do have a Shopify shop as well and have for years.

them directly. Our Etsy shop is 100% of the income for our family. This is frightening. If you are wanting to make a purchase, please contact us directly through our IG messages or our email contact through mesadreams(dot)com. Etsy sellers, has this happened to anyone else?

our shop is offline. They even put up an away notice for me that I did not write. My heart is racing. Djerek immediately re-uploaded our ID info and trust me, he keeps these things up to date always. I feel like it must be a mistake or glitch in their system but there is no way to get in touch with

No issues with our account or customers ever. They sent no warning emails that we needed to update anything, just this out of the blue email that closed our shop. We double checked to make sure the email wasn’t a fraud but when I logged into our Etsy dashboard the notice was there big as life and

They went on to say that the payments from sales we have made are being held until the info is verified and that if they can’t verify our IDs within a few days, those sales will be cancelled and refunded. I am in shock. We have had Mesa Dreams on Etsy for 14 years now.
