1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else? - I found etsy through a friend who purchased a lot of items on here. When I found it, I absolutely fell in love with it. It brings so many customers to your business who might not have found it on just a .com site. I do sell my products at art shows and festivals, but etsy is the only website.

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.) I love to buy jewelry. You can get the most fabulous original pieces from truly gifted artists. I'm the type of girl that loves to have something that no one else has! Etsy is the perfect gift site as well.

3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$? On etsy? Not sure I quite understand this question. I love the scrabble tile pendants that are on here. They are sold by several different vendors.

4- Any advice for new sellers? Do not be discouraged if you do not make a sale right away. Be persistant and definitely take advantage of the showcase options etsy offers. They are a great way to attract buyers!

5-And a favorite quote? Technology owes ecology an apology.

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/and do you sell anywhere else?
After graduating from college with a Fine Arts degree I became a partner in a Framing and Art shop in Grand Rapids Michigan. The frame shop connected me directly to the art community of West Michigan.
After residing in Grand Rapids for several years my husband and I decided that we wanted to raise our children in a smaller community in a rural setting where we could have a small farm and garden.
The trade off of to living in a smaller town is that venues for selling my art became limited. Selling on line became my best option.A friend of mine suggested Etsy a few years ago and it's been the best place to sell my Originals.
A few other poster and print companies sell my reproductions.
I also have galleries on Zazzle.com, Art.com,and Allposters.com.




2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
I love to buy Supplies on Etsy,Unique clothing,and I do most of my Family Holiday shopping on Etsy. They all love Vintage.




3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$?
Lynette Clay's Etsy gallery is wonderful. I love everything in her store.
"Silver pearl night" is an original ACEO painting for only nine dollars:




4- Any advice for new sellers?
I think the key is inventory and advertising.I re-list my work on a daily basis.Advertising on weekends helps people find your shop. Hang in there !



5-And a favorite quote?
My Mother always had this sign hanging in the Dinning room, "Bloom where you are planted".
Its a good reminder.

I choose to sell on Etsy as I was new to the handmade market and Etsy offered an already up and running market. Over the many months I realize that marketing is the key to staying open.

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
I read many crafty blogs, and Etsy seemed like the place to be for selling handmade and vintage stuff. I also liked that Etsy has a close relationship with BurdaSyle, a great open source sewing website I visit regularly. Right now, I don't sell anywhere else--I'm solely an Etsy girl!

I've purchased quite a few vintage patterns. You can see one of my creations from an Etsy vintage pattern on my blog.

Check out this neat
Upcycled Mini Notebook from rephilosophy.


4- Any advice for new sellers?
Good photos are a must! Make sure you can see the details of your item clearly, use the macro function/lens if you can for smaller items, and photograph your item in natural light when at all possible.
