1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
We chose Etsy because it is such a great community of amazingly talented people. We spend hours just looking at all the stuff we didn’t know we wanted until we saw it and you know the buyers who are on here are looking for the same thing. There are so many fantastic items and they are sensibly priced. We are very thankful for Etsy.

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
We are really big into buying stuff for our new pup Keitha. We are looking to purchase a sweater for her but there are so many wonderful vendors I just don’t know who to buy from and gifts for the holidays. I want to buy at least one thing for each of our family off etsy.

3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$?
OMG We didn’t even think twice to buy it! The wooden dinosaur we just bought for our nephew from Banished. He is going to love it! All of the other stuff in their shop so neat, we just might have to buy more….

4- Any advice for new sellers?
PICTURES! PICTURES! PICTURES! Everyone needs to see what you are selling and if your pics can’t do your items justice then your going to run into problems. Also believe in what you are doing because if you don’t, who will?

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
I chose to sell on Etsy because it is so user friendly. You have your items shown to the world in a click so it doesn't get much better than that. I do have a few of my items for sale in local boutiques as well.

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
I buy a lot of gifts on Etsy. It's the best place to get one of a kind items. I also buy some supplies from Etsy.

3-What is your current fave product/SELLER(not in your store) under 20$?
The Ficklefaerie is a fave for me. She sells an amazing product and even participated in a fund raiser for our school.

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
i started selling on etsy when i wanted to find a way to work from home, to avoid the commute and leave the corporate world behind. i made jewelry when i was a teenager amd got back into it a few years ago. it seemed like a perfect match to align myself with etsy. (i also sell on ebay and i am registed to sell on artfire, but have done little over there).

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
i am particularly fond of a necklace called the paris trio in silver. it features a replica of the eiffel tower, a swarovski crystal heart and a french "oui" charm. my uncle married a woman from france, i studied french in school and i've travelled there. french inspired things are always on my radar.

3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$?
my favorite things on etsy under $20.00 come from a shop called bellaseradesign. an artist named anne from california makes the most delightful cards using vintage images and embellishments like tiny pearls and litle silver tokens. Each card features a ribbon and bow added to further decorate the cards -- they make you want to write to all of your friends, and everyone i've sent them to just adores them. the cards average around $3.00. each. she also does some lovely journals. the themes that run through her line focuses on french themes, birds, flowers and nostalgic images -- all near and dear to my heart.

4- Any advice for new sellers?
my advice to new sellers would be to find your own identity and express that through what you sell and how you convey things in your shop. photos are key but keep your prices real. never stop adding to your selection -- being fresh and constantly listing will add to your success. correspond with your buyers and offer high quality customer service. respond to every sale with a message thanking them for their purchase and letting them know how and when their order was shippes (ship quickly -- I shoot for 24 hour turn around as much as possible). my biggest turn off is ordering from a seller who never makes contact.
