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.

Old Postcards Digital Collage Sheet 300 dpi PDF file from katebuckleyart.etsy.com

Price: 1.00

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
I found etsy totally by accident, I saw it featured on a blog. I thought it was such an amazing place - its great to feel part of a wider community of other crafters - handmade seems to be so important in this world of mass produced imports. Its been really lovely to etsy grow and grow. I had just started knitting and doing my artwork again, so it was a "no brainer" to sell on etsy.


2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
Etsy is a great place to buy supplies, because it caters for all kinds of crafters, ie jewlery makers to card crafters, so its a great place to pick up all kinds of supplies, and cheaply too. My other favorite thing would be jewelry, either something by
Deliasthompson or Treanelli.


3-What is your current fave product/SELLER(not in your store) under 20$?
My favorite product at the moment would be any of the
magnet sets by Paperplated, very pretty and useful and they come with a matching tin too! I'm a great fan of Japanese washi paper, so it would be anything featuring that.


4- Any advice for new sellers?
My advice for new sellers would be to make things that you would like to buy - be individual, don't get sucked into the main stream trends. Be friendly and helpful to your customers, and re list regularly, to keep your items fresh in the listings. Don't get despondent if you don't get a sale straight away - if you truly love what you do, and believe in the items you create, people will find you.


5-And a favorite quote?
Seek and ye shall find ! If you have an item in your mind's eye, chances are you will probably find it on etsy !
