Nicoleleeartistry’s Weblog

My name is Nicole Catroppo.  I am a self-employed artist.  I opened my Etsy store late this past January and I LOVE it!  I started a blog to gain some exposure and have (Yikes!) started to get some traffic!  Yay!  Sales are starting to take off, which is very exciting, and my creative juices are flowing more now than ever! 

With regard to topics that I cover in my blog, I enjoy posting helpful information for Etsy shop owners, featuring new artists, posting recipes, sharing inspiration and a bit about my personal life as well.  

I am very happily married to my husband, Anthony.  We have no children, but have three wonderful dogs and live in Middle River, Maryland, which is just a hop, skip and a jump away from Balitmore. 

I make hand crafted artisan wire-wrapped jewelry with a variety of mixed materials, but I primarily focus on gold and silver with precious and semi-precious stones.  I also make hand painted wine glasses and wine glass charms.  Occasionally I share the fruits of my other artistic past times (and I have A LOT!), but for now, jewelry, wine glass charms and hand painted wine glasses are all you will find in my Etsy store: http://nicoleleeartistry.etsy.com

Thanks for coming!  I hope you enjoy reading and if you have ideas or suggestions for my future posts, I’d love to hear them!  Please share!  I’m very friendly.
