We continue our chat from the last episode with designer Sally Ann. If Sally was in the Transformers universe she would be a Junkion. It’s a compliment! Stop thinking Michael Bay and think the very first animated movie. The Junkions are expert mechanics that can repair anything with spare parts and they love Earth broadcasting. Alright, nobody is getting this reference.
Sally Ann designs clothing & accessories using ONLY recycled fabric. She sells her wares at markets and festivals with the help of her mobile boutique. You can also find her items for sale online at shopsallyann.com.
Sally answers the tough questions, “Hey! How can I be successful on Etsy?” She says product photography, create your own traffic, streamline your product/price/labor and get a domain name to point to your store.
Sally’s sister Rachael is also in the handmade goods game! Her store is Curiously Clever found on Storenvy.
Want to sell your designs? Aside from etsy & Storenvy, you could also try bigcartel.
Sally’s friend does vintage jewelry, Cribbledy Goodness.
Sally’s beau is @MattPittmanFTU and he’s Matt about Jax (Jacksonville).
Sally is all about sustainability. If the fabric is smaller than the palm of her hand, maybe, maybe it can be thrown out. Aside from Sally, where can you get sustainable apparel? Try Threads 4 Thought.
Sally is trying to watch the Eleventh Doctor Who series while she works, but her favorite is Downton Abbey. She also suggests Boardwalk Empire.
Her guilty pleasure is Vampire Diaries because she can concentrate on work and not have to pay attention to the show.
Sally listens to All Songs Considered & Mark Maron when she is working as well.
Our guest self identifies as a Lord of the Rings nerd.
Chris & Sally critique True Blood.
Quiz Time!! Sally & Paul try to answer question about a Shatner film called Kingdom of Spiders. Who will win?
From tarantulas to bugs. Sally says the bugs are bigger in the South.
Sally’s favorite Doctor is David Tennant.
Chris recommends that Sally watch Firefly.
Special thanks to you for listening and to @MattPittmanFTU for letting us chat with Sally Ann during their vacation.
