Introducing: Modowl

Meet Jess Wyma Galbraith, photographer, artist, collector, and all-around neat gal. She owns two etsy shops - modowl (retro & vintage treasures) and sunnydayrain (unique photography and art).Shop Names: modowl and sunnydayrain
Location: Chatham-Kent

Tell us about your craft and/or the items in your shop.
At modowl I sell retro and vintage clothing and accessories, fabric, sewing patterns, books, and lots of other home decor items and treasures (as I call them). I especially love fashions from the 1960s hence the name mod owl.
At Sunnydayrain I sell my photography (of nature, things, places, animals, and retro inspired) as well as photoprose which is a mix of my photography and poetry and mixed media art. I have just begun listing items for sunnydayrain so there are still LOTS more pieces to add.
What is your favourite material to work with? camera, retro, vintage patterns
What's the most exciting thing that has ever happened to you on Etsy? I'm fairly new so it would be my first sale which was to Japan, being on a treasury, and knowing that some people heart my shops.
What is your one wish for your Etsy shop/creative business? Creatively, to start doing more art and try some new styles and ideas. Business related, to get more traffic and to make enough money to supplement my other business photographing people. I'd like to make enough being self employed and enjoying what I do so I don't have to get a regular 9-5 job.

What is your favourite Etsy shop? I discover new wonderful Etsy shops every day - I don't think I could pick just one at the moment.
Favourite colour? I love silver,I love lime green, and all shades of blue...especially aquas and deep turquoise. Sorry I guess I have three favorite colours:)

You could make your own dream ice cream... what would be in it? Hmmm, I think mine already exists - a scoop of Moosetracks which I think is a mix of chocolate and vanilla with peanut butter bits and then also a little scoop of lime sherbert...mmmmm!
Favourite place to be in Chatham-Kent? The beach at Rondeau, I'm at home a lot these days with a little one so hanging out with friends and family at home, and I also look forward to my regular visits to Value Village or Villagio as my family calls it to scope out the latest cool retro finds for myself and modowl.
