Please also introduce yourself in your post if you’re new to the Etsy Success Team—describe what you sell and how long your shop has been open.

• You made your 1st sale / 1st international sale / 1st custom order
• You reached (x) # of sales

I got my third sale this month. I renewed a article.
I make knitted and crocheted goods, all with a touch of pixie dust and love for nature.And also jewels. So if you want to visit my store, you'll be welcome ! I just have 25 items in my shop now, I think i will post more when I'll have more sales / views.
I wish you all good luck and sales !

I have sold more necklaces this month than I have ever sold since my shop has been open! Still not a lot for my little shop but I am excited, the month is only halfway through! I hope my good luck and hard work keep paying off and continue throughout the holidays! Feeling good! :D

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I haven't posted in the Etsy Success team in a while, but I've been one busy bee! The last two months have been good for my shop. While I was rejected from Renegade Craft NY Holiday market, I kept my chin up high and now have three shows lined up for the next few weeks. I have made a lot of new work, and have sold 13 paintings in the last two months! It's very encouraging, especially toward my dream of turning my art into my day job. Gonna keep up the hard work.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

We are doing a family charity fundraiser via our shop and are happy that we already sold one angel on the first day we started listing them. I am so happy our shop is allowing us to share with others this holiday season. Here is a link to what we are doing.

https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/KehingiVintage?section_id=16218052&ref=shopsection_leftnav_1

We have already raised 16.91 for each of the three charities Gaetan, Anjeni and I chose. Angel in Algonquin is Anjeni our daughter's spirit name, so when we started seeing Angel's at auctions and estate sales we stockpiled to do a fundraiser.

Yeah!!!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Super excited!!! Our Original (handmade) DIY Watercolour Journal/Travel Sets are being featured in Martha Stewart Living Magazine's (Dec. 2014 Issue) Holiday Gift Guide and are scheduled to hit news stands TODAY! Yay!

An editor from the magazine stumbled across our little Etsy shop back in August, and requested a sample of our product so her staff could try it out. She said they absolutely loved it (and even called it a 'cherished gift') and ultimately chose to include it in the magazine this month! Woohoo!

Home subscriptions to the magazine were delivered to many of their customers on Friday and our views, faves, and sales all jumped over the weekend!

Here's the listing:

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I'm brand new to Etsy, having created hand-crafted wire ornaments for a couple years now with sales here and there via facebook, family and friends. After establishing a little more to my product line, I finally took the leap to Etsy, keeping my expectations low. I knew it could be months (if ever!) before I even made a sale.

Three weeks later and I've already made SIX sales (well, sales to six individuals - many of them have ordered multiple items!), including my first international sale today (and my first time to make two sales in a day!). So glad I took that step! :)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I made my first international sale this month! I'm very excited and look forward to working with more international customers to build something meaningful for them.

This is the book I sold, and it was custom made with a thicker paper stock.

I also started a Facebook page, and purchased a domain name this week :) A couple milestones that would help my business grow!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

So I'm still newish to Etsy (opened in April) and I've posted a few celebrations recently. Adding a few more to the list!

First order outside of the US! Canada! Exciting.

And I've been very fortunate to get a SURGE in orders in October...then an even bigger one in November. Most weren't even gifts.

Total sales up to 17! Most were for multiple items! Number of items is closer to around 30.

A little overwhelmed as I have quite a few custom orders so I'll be busy the next few weeks! Not complaining though :-)

So exciting!

Best of luck to everyone this holiday season :-)
