Spring Cleaning - Making a clean sweep!

It's almost time to sweep out the old and bring in the new! 
I live in a drafty old historical house in an old neighborhood in Eugene, OR and every winter we let the curtains down to keep the heat in and even put up some extra ones in open doorways to keep heat wrangled into our living areas.  You can imagine it gets kind of dark and cozy in there and when spring comes around we are more than ready to open everything up and let the sun shine in and when we do the light shows us just how much dust we've been collecting.  Yikes!

The nice thing about my place is that I have nice wood floors throughout the entire house which makes it easy to clean and, being a broom maker, I have all the right brooms to do the job! 

Below is a list of our brooms and their functions:

THE KITCHEN BROOM - This broom great for all hard floors and for sweeping the porch and the sidwalk.

THE BESOM - Used for sweeping corners and getting cobwebs off the ceiling. 

THE HEARTH BROOM - For cleaning the fireplace.

THE KID BROOM - Put the kids to work!  This broom is fun for the kid's but it's also useful for small spaces like the bathroom or the pantry.

THE TURKEY WING BROOM - This hand broom is perfect for getting into corners and sweeping under counters.  It also looks very lovely hanging on the wall.

THE WHISK BROOM - This hand broom is great for sweeping up small messes and fits perfectly into any dust pan for sweeping up dirt piles. 

THE COBWEB BROOM - A broom for the cobwebs!  This lightweight broom on long stick is perfect for grabbing cobwebs from the ceiling. 


Each of these brooms is available on my ETSY site:  www.broomchick.etsy.com

I've been working on these new Quidditch brooms for the last month and I finally finished them and got them photographed. I'm so excited to show them off, I call it "The Zipper". Hand painted with specially selected twisty stick and a special winding job that stands up to rough-housing. Perfect for your Harry Potter fan! Available on www.broomchick.etsy.com

Broomchick's Got A New Ride!!

Just in time for the holiday season I traded in my RV for this fancy mini-van, not only is it my favorite color but there is plenty of room for carting around my brooms and of course my Brutus Beefcakes. I count my blessings and am very grateful that I was able to swap it out with no trouble. Having this new van will enable me to go on the road and do more craft shows, so watch out west coast!! Here I come!!

Keep your eyes peeled for this month's issue of Parenting Magazine, I haven't seen it yet, but I have been told that my witches broom will be featured in the Halloween issue. My brooms are a hit this time of year and are a compliment to many halloween costumes. I have 2 designs that are great for WICKED Witches and Harry Potter Enthusiasts: The Witches Broom or the Cobweb broom. You could also complete your Cinderella or Snow White costumes with a lovely Kitchen Broom or the miniature Kid's Broom.

In The Beginning...

Well, I don't know much about this blogger stuff, but I am willing to learn. It seems like it could be a great tool for my broom business and to keep friends and family up to date with my life.

BEST DAY EVER!! -------------->

Today I was featured on the front page of ETSY for like 2 seconds or something. I don't know exactly how that works, but I'm going to look into it because WOW! I got so many messages and I made a sale right away.
