Hi Everyone! :)

I'm not new to Etsy, but I did just re-open my shop after a hiatus of not doing much of anything with Girl Friday. My original shop was mostly baby type items, which I do still have some listed, but now I'm also working on handmade bath and beauty (lotion bars, the lip balms are next!) and crocheted items.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hello Denver Team!

I wanted to introduce myself and share a resource that we made for makers who are looking to grow into more brick and mortar stores. It’s called Wholesale In a Box (wholesaleinabox.com) and we teach a free method to to help makers get new wholesale accounts and offer a tool that makes it easier and faster to find great stores and stay on top of outreach.

It is absolutely not for everyone but I wanted to share it with the group and make myself available if there is anything I can do to help.

Hey Everyone!
Sorry I'm late to the party! I'm also new to the group and am very inspired by the great community I've found here! I create ceramic accessories for you and home including jewelry, buttons, wine bottle stoppers, small bowls and more! My emphasis is in the jewelry and I'm always looking for new models for my images, so if you or someone you know might be interested, please contact me! I'm a full time graphic designer helping make government proposals pretty, and keep up Ceramae Studios in my free time. Needless to say, I stay busy!

I'm actively looking for fashion bloggers and creators to collaborate with, contact me if you'd be interested!

Check out some other work I've done and my full portfolio at www.chelseadublin.com
and follow me on instagram (CeramaeStudios) to keep up with my art and adventures!

I'm working to join more craft and art fairs late summer and fall, please let me know if you have any suggestions or advice! I'm a total craft fair noob, so anything and everything would be appreciated!

I look forward to reading more into your profiles and seeing the amazing and diverse art we all create, have a good day!

Hi everyone! I just joined this group, and I'm looking forward to getting to know you and exploring your work.

After moving to the Denver area a year ago, I created a Wisconsin string art sign to remember my roots, and since then, my signs have really taken off--I have made them for many family members and friends. About two weeks ago, I decided to take the plunge and open my own Etsy shop. My shop features several of my fully customizable state string art signs, as well as map pendant necklaces. I am excited to be a part of Etsy and am eager to learn about more effective ways to market my products.

Hey All!

I might be late to the game, but my name is Lulu and I make custom cake toppers out of sugar.

My favorite are the severely nerdy or the traditional bride-and-groom cake toppers modeled after the bride and groom themselves.

I've been on Etsy for almost 3 years now, but I've been in Austin and have recently moved back to Denver. I'm thrilled to find such a rich local culture here.

I don't know if you all are Game of Thrones fans, but I enjoyed making this topper for a couple this spring: https://www.etsy.com/listing/185974159/game-of-thrones-edible-character-cake

I also have an instagram under Lulu and Bumble. Look me up!

I was so glad to meet you all. Maybe we can organize meet-ups!

Kindly,
Lulu

Hello, my name is Julie and I just moved to Denver a couple of weeks ago! I mostly make handbags and accessories and creations for the doggies! I just moved here from Virginia and hope to connect with some local crafters! :-)

Hi all!
I'm Brita and I make custom apparel for littles and grown ups! My animal pun shirts are the most popular but I can work with you on pretty much any design you want! I just released my fall collection and I'm excited about all of the new tees!

[Former_Member]

Hello!
I just joined the group and am super excited! I started making bags about a year ago and have been loving every minute of it. At the moment I make tote bags and shopper bags, along with some zipper pouches, but I'm constantly pushing myself to try new things. I've started dabbling in handbags, but that's definitely going to take more practice!
I absolutely love what I do and I'm wanting to take it to the next step and make it my full time job. I'm hoping I can learn a few things from this awesome group and help in any way I can with everyone else.
Thank you so much!

[AlignedAdventure]

Hi Everyone,
I am hoping people actually look in this team as the last post was several weeks ago!

I am in Breckenridge and have had an Etsy shop for 2 years. I sell graphic art prints that I call "Art for Adventurers". Many are personalized and all encompass the outdoor adventure lifestyle we love here in Colorado.

I am very interested in meeting other serious Etsy sellers that I could meet up with in person. I am more than willing to drive to the Denver area!

If this is not the place to post this but you know where I should be looking, please let me know!
Thanks!
Julia

[LaurenTylerJewelry]

Hello!

I'm Larisa and I'm a proud Denver native. After having to leave my nursing career behind for health reasons, I was blessed to discover beading and fell in love with jewelry making!

I am very new to Etsy and still setting up my shop. I have mostly ID badge lanyards, which are great gifts for nurses and other healthcare professionals, as well as office workers who wear ID badges. I also have some Denver Bronco jewelry (perfect for game day!) and some other pieces of beaded jewelry. I currently have some of my jewelry for sale at some small businesses near my home.

It's great to see all the great Colorado crafters and artisans here!

Hello everyone!

We are new to the group and have been on Etsy for about a year and a half. We are a team - a welder and a jeweler - creating jewelry and product displays for craft shows, art fairs, pop-up shows, showrooms and retail stores. We work primarily in steel and wood but continue to explore new materials.

We are expanding into more custom work and also offer consulting on how to best display our customer's products - be it jewelry, essential oils, cards, candles, clothing, etc.

We look forward to connecting in the future.

hi!! I'm Amber. I live in Sunnyside and run an online vintage store on IG (@westernwicker ; https://www.instagram.com/westernwicker/).

I'm debating opening an etsy store. I sell designer items on ebay and it's been such a pain in my junk and it's really up my street, tbh. eBay will break even the strongest of people, ha!

Feel free to add my shop or even ME (https://www.instagram.com/salsa_tits) I love interacting with people and making friends so i'd love to meet up with any and all vintage sellers and shoot around ideas and maybe... even.. complain :)
