Guess what! Right now I’m the featured seller on Etsy! (Squeal!) You can read my featured seller interview and see my studio space right here. I’m thankful, flattered, and trying not to hyperventilate! I think I’m going to be swamped with orders for a bit, so I’ll be away from the blog for a few days to make sure everyone receives their goodies in a timely manner. I’ll be back before you know it!

That’s so awesome!! Congratulations!
Yay! That’s so exciting! I enjoyed reading your interview. I just discovered whit & whistle a few months ago so it’s fun to hear the background story. I would love to “pick your brain” (strange saying :) about starting a business. I’m 25 and feeling just as trapped in my design job. Congrats on pursuing your dream and props to your husband for pushing you in that direction!
Haha, I still feel like I have no idea what I’m doing most of the time. Just take it one day at a time and somehow things will start to happen! :)
wow, what an honor – congratulations! and it’s perfect timing to feature your 3D Valentines Day cards. I should join the masses and order mine!
also, in reference to your Iceland trip, my friend and I decided to take the plunge as well and we’re vacationing there in 2 weeks. Your photos totally sold me on the trip.
Awesome! You will LOVE it, I’m sure! :)
wow wow wow, congrats friend, that is just so wonderful! So happy for you :)
Congratulations! Love your studio space and also happy to hear from an NC-based designer :)
Congrats on your feature! I enjoyed reading your interview. And yay for cultivating your peculiarities! I am working on the same thing. Beautiful office space, smile and shop.
i loved your interview, it’s really encouraging, and you seem incredibly down to earth. :)
Loved the interview and your commitment to embracing quirkiness! Also, as a quilter I would love to see some photos of the quilts your mom has made you along with your design sketches… they sound cool!
I’ll have to see if I can get her permission to share it. :) Although I don’t think I have the sketch any more, since it has been a few years.
Great interview :) I love how you are quirky and using it to full advantage!!! Very inspiring… thank you :)
I’ll second that!
Congrats!!! Just read it and “found” you… hee hee. Loved your interview and wanted to say thanks for the inspiration : )
Congrats! I love your new bee vomit card =)
What a fabulous feature! I’ve long admired your darling cards and was happy to see you on the front page. Woo hoo!
Great interview and congratulations. I hope you get lots of new orders and have fun filling them. I love your quirkiness, it makes you you.
Yippeee! Very happy for you.
I stumbled upon wit & whistle a couple of weeks ago and I love checking in on you. I’m in absolute LOVE with the map above with the pins of your travel spots! Did you design/print it yourself or where did you get it!? I have to have one!
I made the map myself with a cork board and a pre-printed map. Here’s the blog post about it that includes sources for everything I used. Have fun making your own! :) http://witandwhistle.com/2011/02/09/sales-map/
Oh yay! That’s great! Congrats! Going to hop over to read the interview now. x

Congratulation, Amanda! It is well deserved :)
That is awesome!! I always look at those people (the rockin’ sellers) and wish wish wish I could get myself together enough to actually DO my shop at all. . . . Maybe when the baby is older. So happy for you! Love your stuff!

Hi there! I just recently started following your work and your blog, and I have to say, I just love them both! Gosh you are just so clever with your cards, they make me giggle a lot, especially the “you were here” card! My mom wishes me a “happy conception day” each year…i wish i could ask her to send me that card:) Congrats on all of the success! Yipee!
