Spot Light Shop Wednesday

Feature Friday with Janice of the Primitive Outhouse

 

1. What is the name of your Etsy shop and why did you choose that name?

Well, this is sort of a long story so I will sum it up. Quite a few years ago my Mother moved into a house and there was a TON of salvaged wood pieces in her yard which I built into a primitive outhouse. A few months later I started a website and couldn't think of a name my fiancé' suggested I use the outhouse I built because that is what inspired me to start a website! So, The Primitive Outhouse was born! I have since closed the actual web site but still use the name, as I felt it was still a good name.

2. How long have you been on Etsy?

  I have been on Etsy since March of 2008, but just recently have started to use Etsy as my main selling venue!

3. What type of items do you offer?

I offer a variety of hand made and re-purposed items. I cannot seem to decide on one medium I like painting, woodworking, sewing and re-purposing items. I am an eclectic crafter I make what I like and feel others will like as well!

4. How long have you been crafting?

It feels like forever, but I would say about 15 years or so.

5. Who or What inspires you?

My love of anything handmade! My biggest fans are my family and friends who think anything I make is amazing! I also enjoy the feeling I get when I am working on projects, it is like I drift off into my own little world and it is quite peaceful there!!

6. What is your favorite item in your shop and why?

I am not sure if I could choose any one item, I would say it has to be the cranberry boxes I paint. I love painting them and I like anything that can be decorative, but can serve as another purpose also!

7. Other places where you can be found.

I am on Etsy, eBay, My Blog and I am working on a selling blog as well!
