Hi gang, Time to get to know another Etsy of the Red River Valley team member!
Hi! My name is Nicole Rowley.
I live in West Fargo and I just opened my shop a month or 2 ago and just started listing about a week ago!
I love making my wreaths and during the holiday's I will be doing swags, lantern toppers, table centerpieces, Christmas tree toppers and anything else I can think of!
My crafting has kept me very busy lately but I am a stay at home mom of 6 kids, 8 cats and a dog!
We spend our summers at the lake which we all love!
You can check out some of Nicole's awesome wreaths in her Etsy Shop!

Featured Artist -
Welcome to our featured artist of this week, Erica of Life Unpolished! Here are some fun things about Erica:
My name is Erica, I am currently living in Fargo, ND.
I sell a variety of different things in my shop, from decor to laundry detergent. Currently I have bookmarks and a coffee cozy listed.
Crafting is honestly an outlet for a lot of my stress. It's nice to just sit down at my sewing machine or with whatever I get my hands on and just make something from raw materials. My absolute favorite part is the end result, which is almost always something I'm super proud of.
Outside of my Etsy Shop, I play a lot of Facebook games. I frequent garage sales, and I love thrift stores.
If I could have ANY super power in the world, I would definitely fly. So much cheaper than driving a car!
Here are some photos of the fabulous items you can find in Erica's shop!

Featured Artist - Wrightmade
Our featured artist for this post is Boyd of Wrightmade! Let's get to know a little bit more about him.
My name is Boyd Wright. I live in Grand Forks, ND.
I craft, primarily on a wood-turning lathe, a wide variety of kaleidoscopes, handmade gifts for people of all ages, back scratchers, desk items, pill boxes, bar accessories, cutlery, jewelry, key rings, and more, handcrafted in exotic woods from around the world.
My favorite thing about crafting is the freedom from organizational scheduling.
Since crafting is not a hobby, but a business, my hobbies include genealogy, reading, history.
No real idea what I would do if I had a super power. Cure diseases, I suppose. Not thought about it.

Featured Artist: EtsyRRV Captain
Hi! Welcome to the EtsyRRV blog. If this is your first time visiting us, it's good to have you here! If your coming back, we're glad. In getting with our featured artist posts, I am posting a few questions about myself, in the hopes that other members of the Etsy of the RRV team will also be featured artists throughout the coming months!
1. What is your name?
My name is Maggie, but it's not short for anything! When my parents were picking out names, they wrote some for boys and some for girls. Maggie was a girls name they both liked! So that's where it came from.
2. Where do you live?
Although I was raised in a small town 100 north east of the FM area, I now live in Moorhead! I went to University here, and loved it so much I just couldn't leave.
3. What types of items do you sell in your shop?
Well, I have 2 Etsy shops!
M Knits: This is where I sell knitted and crocheted blanket, scarves and other fun handmade knittery.
La Carta Papier: I sell fun cards, paper hearts, paper stars and other fun paper items in this shop!
4. What is your favorite thing about crafting?
My favorite thing about crafting is being able to create unique, one of a kind items for people. I love that handmade items are better for myself and for the people who buy them!
5. Do you have any hobbies outside your Etsy Shop?
I love to read, watch movies and write! I am reading a great book right now for my book club called Sharp Objects, by Gillian Flynn. It's great.
6. Just for fun, if you could have any super power, what would it be? Why?
I would have the power to fly. I think it would be neat to have a superman ability to just float into the air whenever I wanted and fly to where I wanted to go!
