Why bother to follow us on Twitter?

Ok, so here's the deal.  So many times I have dear customers of mine ask if they can be the very first to see or possibly buy an item before anyone else can get to it.  You guys are so sweet!  I just love ya.  Now that being said, sometimes it would be nice if there was a way that people could get first crack at something newly listed before anyone else gets to it.  This being especially true of Sherry's work.  Sometimes she surprises me with a new item I had no idea she was even making!  The item is photographed and emailed to me and then she calls and tells me to list it in the store.  This is just as much of a surprise to me as it is to you when you see it in there :)  So it got me thinking how I could make it easier for collectors to see what exactly we're doing or what we're working on...or even listing for sale on any particular day.  In comes the miracle website Twitter :)  If you sign up for a free account, you can easily add your mobile phone number to your private and secure account.  Why do this?  Because if I post something for sale (or any of your other favorite sellers who may have a twitter account for that matter) you will get a text message to your phone telling you I just Tweeted something.  I highly doubt I will get on there for random crap that no one wants to hear :)  This will be updates like "Almost finished making this item I've been discussing on my blog and will be listing it tomorrow" or "I just listed this item in my store a few minutes ago".  You won't get a text message about how my cat just arfed up a hairball on the rug and now I'm going to clean it up :)  You won't hear about how I have a cold or that I'm out grocery shopping right now.  B-O-R-I-N-G.  Only important stuff.
