Re: New Members , Welcome, Introduce Yourself

Hello! I live in Jonestown, not far from Lebanon, Hershey and Harrisburg.

I personalize items with vinyl. I have cutting boards, night lights, ceramic tile, hair brushes, mirrors....and plan to add more items yet.

I opened my shop after selling many of my items to coworkers for Christmas.
Decided to give it a shot with Etsy. I have been working every day on my shop, watching you tube videos and listening to webinars. I'm also on several FB groups for Etsy.

I also work FT in Camp Hill for a large insurance company, and have 2 boys.
My husband works in Ephrata.

HI! I live in Erie, a recent transplant from the Pacific NW.

I make bracelets! Or I should say, I can't STOP making bracelets! I love Erie--there is a great artist vibe here and the Lake is so beautiful.

I'm also a painter and will be selling some cards and prints at a future date.

I'm Lisa from Mehoopany. My husband Jake set up shop for me in December. I have started with art prints and acrylic painted items on this site. Whatever we expand into will be nature and home décor themed, I love doing mostly all kinds of crafts.

Re: New Members , Welcome, Introduce Yourself

Hi all! So excited to be part of this community.

I am new to Etsy, but not new to the vintage business. Since 2003, my boutique in West Chester, PA has been selling trend-conscience women's vintage clothing and jewelry. My bricks and mortar shop has won a variety of awards including Philadelphia Top wedding and Consignment Shop in 2014, Best of Philly in 2006, 2012, and 2014, and an award for Jewelry in 2008 in Mainline Today.

I specialize in vintage fine jewelry (especially rings), and antique jewelry including cameos and mourning jewelry. I also sell women's clothing and accessories made between the 1870s and 1970s. To get a feel for the vintage items I sell, take a look at my brand new Etsy shop, or find my store on IG @msmalena.

Again, thanks everyone for the welcoming environment!

I love your shop (both here and in WC.) Feel free to shoot any etsy questions our way or start a new thread.

I know you usually pull the shop out during WC events so check out Etsy local - You can search or create an event, any time and it will display an upcoming market in your etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/local

We're doing our first big festival in May so if anyone has tips, we'd love to hear from you!

We love being around like-minded people! Thanks so much for inviting us!

Hello Michael and Michelle!
Welcome, we're glad to have you with us.
I only have the regular tips... Wear comfy shoes, bring water, don't forget a phone charger or back up battery if you're using a card reader app.
Be open and greet everyone you can!

Good luck

Hi ! I’m Sherry from Windber pa. I decide to try and sell my soaps, candles and wax melts. I use to teach cosmetology and once owned my my own salon. I  need something different to do and still be creative. I look forward to any help and information anyone can give me. I also would love to know how or when the links will work to find my shop on line in the web browsers. Thank you so much for letting be part of your team

Re: New Members , Welcome, Introduce Yourself

Hi everyone! My name is Autumn. I live in Elizabethtown, PA and I'm originally from Lebanon, PA.

 

I make jewelry out of polymer clay. I really only starting putting my crafts out there in September of this year! I am a recent Penn State grad and full time digital marketing specialist (SEO), so crafting is my hobby (and stress relief!).

 

I'm getting more involved in local craft shows and it's been so much fun! Glad to meet you all! :)

Re: New Members , Welcome, Introduce Yourself

We are new to Etsy, Only been here since January this year; we have no experience and are looking forward to learning and sharing with everyone here.
One nice thing about us being shut in by the pandemic is that we are tucked away on our beautiful mountain in Wernersville overlooking the valley below. Hense Whispering Mountain. My wife has been creating fantastic jewelry for years. The way she meticulously and interictally strings tiny beads into beautifully designed bracelets, necklaces, and brooches is incredible. Each creation is a unique one-of-a-kind creation. I am a techie who has dove deep into Drone flying, aerial photograph, 3D Printing and laser cutting, engraving, and etching. I like to push the envelope whenever possible. I started blending all of these and came up with some exciting creations. By blending Technologies with creativity, we can produce beautiful works of art, from 3D printing to laser etching and photo image etching. Add had to that some incredible interictally woven beaded jewelry, and you have some very artist creations. We welcome you to browse our creations. We have something for everyone. We can also do custom creations, photo etching, and personalization for special events.

Hi, I'm Stephanie, I live in Bucks County and sell heirloom dolls.

I'm a mother of two girls and my husband and I have been married for 25 years. My background is in metalwork and design. I'm an avid sewer and my family puts up with a lot of Poly-fil and fabric scattered around the house. I am brand new to Etsy and am trying to get my shop up and running. I have not gotten many views and only made a few sales so far. I was so happy to find a team of fellow Pennsylvanians here and I'm hoping to learn a lot from you guys!

Your little heirloom dollies are SO.  Freaking.  ADORABLE.  My daughter is so going to need one of these for Christmas... love their sweaters!

Love that you used Japanese fabric for Penelope.  She's my favorite, I think.

Hi, new member.  I live in Harrisburg.    I do mostly acrylics and alcohol link painting, often on found objects.    I'll be at ArtsFest, with the Hbg Flea people in their big tent.   I have 8 cats, one husband and a old house in the city.   I also do brewing, cooking, gardening, table-top RPGs, and read mostly science fiction and sword and sorcery fantasy.

Re: New Members , Welcome, Introduce Yourself

I live about 2.5 hours from Harrisburg and about 1.25 from Philly.  My daughter and husband do brewing, my daughter and I do crafting. I am also pretty new.  Haven't made an actual Etsy sale yet.  Not officially, though the shop will show 2 because I sent Facebook Marketplace here specifically so I could make some sales on here.  So far though no ratings, so it could be both good and bad maybe, LOL.  Good luck to you!
