Thanks. I ran these keywords for you and this is what I came up with. The number on the right is the number of monthly searches and the idea is to choose some that aren't so high that you have too much competition or so low that you might get on the first page but few people ever run that search. You have lots of good choices so I wouldn't even bother with any under 100. You want to choose a few of them that best describe it and get those phrases toward the front of your title (and in your shop title, announcement and sections and item description) without breaking them up at all. "Beach Home Decor" is a pretty broad one and you'll have a lot of competition so that might not be the best one to lead off with. Why don't you try it again while looking at that list and let me see what you come up with? Remember that Etsy only puts the first 48-60 characters of your title into the HTML title tag so you want to get your best ones up front and in there.

This is Mary's standard info and it's all necessary:
Use exactly these same keyword phrases in the tags for that listing, using one tag for each keyword phrase.
For Google, use all of these keyword phrases in the listing description as well. Or at least use the Primary Keyword Phrase one or more times in description.
Follow these guidelines for all of your listings:
- use one to four keyword phrases ine the listing title, exactly as they appear in the keyword research report. Do not break up or rearrange the words.
- only use keywords that you find in your keyword research or keywords very close to what you find if you don't find exactly the words that describe your listing.
- whenever possible, use keywords that overlap other keywords as you see above
- use exactly the same keyword phrases in the listing tags
- use exactly the same keyword phrases in the description (for Google)
When choosing the Primary Keyword phrase (the one at the beginning of the title), keep in mind that shoppers become much more specific in their use of keywords when they are ready to buy.
Be sure to eliminate as much duplicated text as possible in listing descriptions so that none of your listings are caught in Google's Duplicate Content Filter.
USE Keywords in your shop title and section names. Look for more keywords that are appropriate to what you make and add them to the shop title and section names.
