Looking for consignors

We recently opened an online store (http://www.giftbird.com) and I need help finding consignors.... Please just send me an e-mail if you are interested. I will email you the details. I'm hoping to find bath and body products, bags, art related sellers, etc. At this time we are not looking for jewelry though (sorry!). Thanks so much for your consideration! Deb

I am doing a little cross promoting/networking!

Please friend me here if we aren't already!

Blog - http://www.always-amy.blogspot.com
My blog has lots of tips & hints for new Etsy members. I've been on Etsy for over two years now & want to give back to the community by helping younger shops. Give it a peek! It has a big plug board for you to load your link up free & two nice spots to run project wonderful ads. Plus, I like to do blog site, link exchanges. I usually get between 75 to 300 hits a day so it stays busy & is a nice place to promote from.

& here I am on DA! I'm just getting started there & feeling lonely, so if you are using that site for promo, stop by & say hi!
