Welcome to Markets of Sunshine's Official Blog, Sunshine Maker's Club!

 I want to share a little background story about myself and how I came to create this little blog for my business.  I've had a business name for over 10 years called Markets of Sunshine that started on Etsy and here on blogger.  Sadly, the domain name was about to expire and I was not notified and someone stole it and is wanting me to pay hundreds of dollars to get it back.  

NEW NAME, SAME PRODUCTS

Therefore, I started this blog to first of all share that news and secondly to create a name that is closely aligned with my business name on Etsy and tells exactly what you'll find here and on the internet about me.  I've had a Facebook business page called, Markets of Sunshine and a Pinterest account and a YouTube channel.  On Twitter it's called MarketsSunshine because they don't allow enough letters for the whole name.

But, I'm not upset about this at all.  I found a way around it by starting this new blog with a new name.  My email list and all other social media channels know that I started this name over a decade ago and just because someone decides to sabotage my business by taking my domain name doesn't stop me from doing what I love to do.

LOYALTY MATTERS

So, help me prove that a name isn't the business but it's the person behind the name and the mission and value that it represents that proves what the true nature of the business is all about by continuing to support me as a customer, and by watching a commenting on my DIY videos on my YouTube channel.


The new Wander Stitch collection is an assortment of travel themed soft books for
learning and practicing embroidery stitching.  You'll find a variety of fabric themed kits in
my Etsy shop, Markets of Sunshine, here >>>> Parisian soft book kit

That’s exactly why I created my Craft Letter Subscription , a slow, creative experience designed for snail mail lovers who want a reason to keep writing, creating, and connecting.

You can feel the time that went into it. For many creatives, snail mail becomes a ritual. A weekly or monthly moment to step away from screens and return to making something tangible. It pairs beautifully with creative journaling, memory...
