Welcome to PolkaDotsAndPaisley

Ally is quite the entreprenuer and decided last fall that we should attempt to make a business of our hobby which was becoming increasingly more expensive and time consuming because we just couldn't stop. Not to mention it had eaten away a lot of our space. We reorganized, and I (Rem) having been introduced to Etsy before suggested we set up shop there. As of November 2007 we have had a place in the Handmade capital of the internet.

Come visit our store 

Our Etsy Shop

We are a little obsessed with papers of all kinds but we are especially fond of polka dots and paisley patterns. Ally is the painter of the two of us. Rem enjoys taking photos and we both like making jewelry. We both love making cards and do some scrapping too. Thanks for checking us out!!

Our cards are handmade and individually planned out. Some of the materials we use to make them include: stamps, inks, embossing powders, ribbons, patterned and plain cardstock, eyelets, brads, and photos.

****We update frequently so keep checking back to see what new items are posted.

NEW NEWS! 

What is currently going on for PolkaDotsAndPaisley?

Tuesday, April 8
Things have been going well with us although hectic. We just finished a set of cute plum and gold save the dates and shipped them out today. We have had some local interest in our greeting cards and have been making a lot of those for that local customer. We had a custom bulk greeting card order from California too. We offer 15% off each card if you order more than 4 single cards in a single purchase. Come check us out!

Hi, its Tuesday March 11. Things are a little crazy around here now. Allyson and I are both starting new jobs and with new jobs comes lots of training. I am leaving today for a week and then Ally will be gone on Friday for a week. Hopefully it won't be too dull and at least we get paid to train = ) We will try and keep up the blog during our absence, not sure if any new items will be posted but we may surprise ourselves.

Nice Squidoo lens! I followed the link over here from the Storque (Seth Godin's article). I actually signed up on Squidoo last night and am in the process of building a lens, so I was really helpful to come here and be inspired by yours!

Smiles, Karen

Hi!

I've just been reading your lens having read the Storque article by Seth Godwin (on Etsy). I really love the page you've set up. It's really inspirational.

I was wondering if you sell card 'kits' for people to assemble cards themselves? Sometimes the picture is just right but the sentiment is all wrong! I'd love something like that.

Thanks for letting fellow etsians have a peak into your business.

I love avoiding the movie store! 

It takes me forever to decide what movie to rent at the store, and I can't ever remember when shows play plus I hate commercials so I watch tv shows on dvd when they come out. Netflix was a brilliant idea!

001- Crash
002- The Departed
003- The Bucket List
004- The Pursuit of Happyness
005- No Country for Old Men
Try Netflix free for 14 days
