Well, I *think* it was at least 10 minutes.
I'm not sure, since I didn't even know it was happening!

Here's how the story goes:
On Tuesday I checked my Etsy Shop and noticed that I was getting a lot of views on the Red Dress Girl, and thought this very strange, very strange indeed. I also checked my hearts (a feature on Etsy where other shops or shoppers can "heart" your shop for various reasons, ie. they like your offerings, they want to bookmark you for future purchases, etc.), and I seemed to be getting a lot just for one day.Here's how the story goes:
I just couldn't figure this out, no idea what was going on, it was some weird internet glitch and my itty bitty Etsy shop had somehow been caught in the vortex...... until Lana showed me this:
The Admin of Etsy had put Red Dress Girl on the front page!
I'm not completely familiar with the ends and outs of it, but as I understand it, different people, (artists, Etsy administration) compile photos from Etsy shops based on themes, and these rotate every 10 minutes or so throughout the day. Red Dress Girl was chosen for an Americana theme. Although, I think they may have searched using the word "red" to find her.
And see the cute doll on there? That is a sweet prim from Lorraine of PieCake Primitives!

So, no glitches in the vortex, no rip in the time-space continuum, just a nice person in Etsy administration that was kind enough to choose Red Dress Girl for her 10 minutes of fame. Thanks Etsy Admin! ☺
Have a great weekend everyone~

Oh, how great. I love folk art portraits of girls in red dresses. You did a wonderful job on that. There is a painting in the book Young America where the girl has a very similar dotted dress, but it's more orange. I love the dots!
