Original Post
!!! Join us for a night of surprising some undiscovered (Aussie!) shops !!!
Most Mondays and Thursdays, new or relatively undiscovered Etsy shops are chosen as "victims”. Many shoppers visit the sites, buying and favoriting and commenting to others, resulting in a bunch of surprise business in a very short time. It’s a great way to give a big boost to a new Etsy shop!
At 6:00 PM EST (Etsy Time) Thursday Dec 8, we are going to begin our next sneak attack. Go to www.handmademovement.com at or soon after 6:00 PM and you'll see the chosen shops names. Just click on the shops to see what goodies are in store for you. If you make a purchase, be sure to include the words "Sneak Attack" in the "message to seller.”
Don’t worry about being too late for the attack. If the shop name is still up there, you can still go and make a purchase. They are usually still up into the next day. Remember to come back here and chat with us as we will be here all night and we love to talk about our purchases and favorites.
Some shops add more listings after learning that they’re being attacked. So, check back often!
Even if you can't make a purchase, you can still help by marking their shops or items as favorites, adding them to your circle and spreading the word. If you see something a friend or family member might like, ask them to view the shop. We welcome anyone to come in and join us with the chatter and fun! This thread is up all day the day of the attack for friendly discussions.

SNEAK DAY TREASURY CHALLENGE
1. Create a treasury based on the clues given to us by our wonderful sponsor. Just use the different clues in your search and see what you find.
2. Title Your Treasury Sneaky Treasury Challenge 12/5/11
3. Use any shops and any items you find.
4. Post the link here in the Sneak Attack Thread for us all to enjoy (so our mouths can water at the possibilities!)
THE GOAL: Is to try and "capture" one of the SA shops. Kinda like capture the flag. After the shops are revealed, the winner or winners will be announced, so if someone captures a shop, don't give it away! Those are the only rules.
THE PRIZE: A shoutout on the Handmade Movement Homepage!!!!

I've snuck around and found the shops,
I've chosen them because they are tops!
Solve the puzzles to find the clues,
Always remember your sneaky shoes.
At 6pm I will reveal,
The Sneaky Shops with bargains to steal.
Boost their views and hearts (and sales),
Then regale us here with your AMAZING tales.
3 shops I've picked for you to see,
Packed with goodies, what will they be..?
If you guessed their Aussie's, you would be right,
So lets go ATTACK them with all our MIGHT!

Basic clues:
3 shops
all Australian
0 sales
International Shipping
Today's hints are anagrams... so unscramble the letters to figure out the word! For instance:
1. PMIAVER (which Shell figured out spells VAMPIRE)
2. REFAHET (Krafty deciphered it: FEATHER)
3. AEHCB (Sandi says BEACH)
4. SCEIP (Karen got it: SPICE)
5. REMLADE (Sandi's at it again - EMERALD!)
6. GMDIITNH (Way to go Karen -MIDNIGHT!)
7. YYEDNS (Go Celeste- SYDNEY!)
8. LREIMAN (MINERAL)
9. LNWAUT (good Wendy- WALNUT)
10. LYCA (Thanks Summer- CLAY)
11. MNERAG (Go Wendy- GERMAN)
12. TSOGA LIKM (the wonderful wendy again- GOATS MILK)
Very good idea Stock:
If you're working on a guessing Treasury, you can always search Shop Local www.etsy.com/local?ref=fp_nav_local and type in Australia...

I also got this Convo from Louise:
Hi Crystal,
You are awesome !!
I have already had two orders today ( my first ever on Etsy !) so your sneak attack is working.
But your kindness is really appreciated today as this morning my cat was run over , so I'm very very sad, but when I checked my email and saw I suddenly had my first sale it cheered me up a bit.
It is a lovely thing you're doing !!!! Thanks so much !
I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas.
All the best.
Louise
