Good morning, everyone and a warm welcome to all the new members.

A reminder for everyone this morning. Make sure your policies and tags are following Etsy rules and standards. In particular, I have noticed that some sellers are using Shabby Chic as a tag. This will infringe on copyright. We are allowed to use Cottage Chic, so it is the word Shabby that is protected by copyright.

To the new members, be sure to read the Seller's Handbook. If you don't see what you need to know, there is a search engine on the right hand side at the top of the page. There is a current post there about tags, so this might be helpful to new and veteran members alike.

Well, as Monday is always, RAK (Random Act of Kindness) be sure to show your team mate's shops some love today. You can view and fave items, make a treasury, send someone a cherry note or whatever act of kindness you'd like to do. You can do this anonymously or tell us about it. It's strictly up to you.

Have a wonderful day and enjoy the upcoming week.

QUOTE of the DAY:

"Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you."
~ Princess Diana

Re: AAA Daily Chat March 16, 2015

Good morning Mary and all.

Thank you Mary, it's always good to remind people about copyright infringements . In all honesty, I personally think that a copyright on "shabby chic" takes the biscuit and it's a step too far, but there isn't much that we can do about it unfortunately.

Day off today, which I will try and put to good use. Off to do some RAKs and I'll try and pop in later.

Have a great day everybody!

Re: AAA Daily Chat March 16, 2015

Good morning, everyone.

Just a quick note. One RAK done, more to come.

Vicky, thanks for featuring my tote in your treasury!

Val, thanks for the feedback yesterday. Both the scorpio and celtic owl showed up in Search.

It's embroidery day. I'm going to do six Hindu deities. They're outline only, so they won't take long to do.

Have a great day, everyone!

Hi All,

Mary, Good to know about Shabby Chic which was the title of my last week's treasury. I will review the Etsy rules.

Alanna, I love how diverse your design selections are.

My treasury this week is called Brides and Grooms.

Have a good one.

Re: AAA Daily Chat March 16, 2015

I slept in for two hours. Still feeling sick and pathetic but I did get out yesterday for service. (which by the way was fantastic)

I went on a date Saturday (which was creepy) The flowers were beautiful the date was not. I was home by 8:30. lol :-)

Not much happening in my Etsy world.

Off to do some RAKS!

Happy Monday!

Re: AAA Daily Chat March 16, 2015

Good Morning team!

Today is the start of Spring Break in Iowa so most kids age 5-college are off of school. Many will travel but I have noticed more kiddos around the neighborhood today. It's a beautiful today for them all to play outside.

I agree that copy righting shabb chic is a bit over the top but knowledge is power. Thanks for keeping us all informed Mary!

I am doing a craft show on Saturday so this week is going to be devoted to brushing off the dust from all my craft show stuff and making sure I have all my items priced and ready to go. I hoping there will be a lot of people out shopping for Easter, Mother's Day and graduations.

I've done several rounds of RAKs and we be back to do some more later!

Re: AAA Daily Chat March 16, 2015

Hello, everyone!

I can't believe that shabby chic is copyrighted! That seems a little silly--but important to know. Will definitely be checking out that seller handbook when I get a chance.

It's a lovely sunny day here but I am in class most of the day. Hopefully I can go for a nice walk at the end of it all.

Put up a new listing in my break between classes

Until next time!

Hi gang, a lot of things on here are a bit ridiculous, but that is the way it is. We have to follow the rules.

Re: AAA Daily Chat March 16, 2015

Just dropping in. Got roped in to become Secretary of the Tenants' Association Committee this morning, so been typing out the minutes etc. Draft accepted, so will finish it off and get them printed tomorrow - so that they can be distributed in time for a meeting at which items we discussed will be aired on Wednesday. Hence this being a brief visit.

Treasuries above all duly attended to - lovely selections.

Got another small order in to - things going in the right direction. A Baby Plush Rabbit will hopefully be en route by the end of the week - destined I suspect for an Easter Basket. Just as well I kept some Rabbits back from the local shop display!!

Re: AAA Daily Chat March 16, 2015

Good afternoon! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I've been busy today working on new pieces. I'm going to start my pinning frenzy now, as my raks. It's the perfect time because I'm sitting in carpool waiting for my little lovey's. I will pop in a little later to play some games. :)

Re: AAA Daily Chat March 16, 2015

Hi, all.
Welcome to new members.
I want to mention that Etsy has nothing to do with shabby chic being copyrighted. That's part of the weird world of trademark and copyright and is the same anywhere.
