Want to Trade?

After reading Blog Inc., I started really thinking about what I want to get out of (and give) through blogging.  One of the first things was that I want to feel like my blog is authentic.  I don't want to be pushing people to buy things when I myself am trying to limit what I buy.  And I want to help foster community.  I want to bring people together and help them build friendships.  One of the things I've loved the most about blogging, is the people I've met online.

In an effort to be more authentic and to encourage community, I'm restructuring my advertising.  While I will still keep my affiliates, I want to focus more on promoting other blogs or small businesses. So, if you blog and would like to swap buttons, or if you have an Etsy shop and would like me to post your button, please contact me.

Standard ad size is 250 x 125.  Spots are limited, but will run for one month and will rotate in order.  If you're interested, shoot me an email at info@chairintheshade.com and we'll work something out. 

Note: I do reserve the right to refuse ads.
