Welcome New and Old Members

[Former_Member]

Dear DSG Members,

Welcome to our new Teams Page on Etsy. I hope that you will find this transition useful. We are excited about this new tool as well as you are.

Our main teams site will remain http://www.designstyleguide.net of course, but we will utilize all tools through here to make us more visible to Etsy Buyers here.

Have a wonderful day and let me know if you have any questions.

Looks like we're good to go, Kristina--:)

[Former_Member]

Great! Thank you Klaire. I am glad that Etsy decided to do this for the teams.

[Former_Member]

Hi Kristina! We're glad to become part of the DSG new home :)!

[Former_Member]

I'm curious about the yearly fee -- What happens at year end -- Do we get notice to renew -- does it happen automatically? How does that work?

[Former_Member]

Welcome boujiandnouna, we are glad to have this page for our team right here on Etsy:)

We created a thread for DSG Treasuries on Etsy
http://www.etsy.com/teams/5769/design-style-guide/discuss/6680463/
Please post your treasuries there so we can keep things organized.

Thanks,

Ok - found this new page, have it bookmarked and am ready to go!!

Can non-DSG members see it, just not participate in it???

Do we want to have an Etsy Forum Thread under "Promotions" to promote our listings and treasuries for interaction with other people on Etsy? Just asking? Up to the Leaders and Captain!!

[MysticSilks]

Morning all!

I am hoping to see all our group change over to this thread.


Ruth , I agree we should have public visibility.

But I also think our members may become frustrated with having too many pages to post to.

We now have a treasury page where just the treasuries are listed:

Found you!

I've got a full day ahead. Unloading the kiln(exciting), taking pix(not so exciting), posting new work. Can we post new listings here?

[Former_Member]

I think it is a good idea to post to our team page here on Etsy as it is a team discussion. And it is public so others will be able to see our links to new listings, etc.

Only a week left to get as much work ready as possible for the show/sale on the 20th. Wondering where the time went! Being sick this past week hasn't helped... sleep is a necessary evil! I'm thinking I wont post any new items here on Etsy until after the show, best to use my time for production than pictures and descriptions.

Wishing sales for everyone!

[MysticSilks]

Yes, post your listings here!

Glad to see you gals!

[RSSDesignsInFiber]

Yes, Klaire - you are probably right about having too many places to post to and I believe all Etsy members can see our posts and click on the links to our listings, so this may be enough.

It will also be centralized in one place, which is probably good.

I bookmark everything and organize my bookmarks to keep track of all the places I post in - LOL!! Sometimes I think it is way too much, so I am doing Facebook and then Twitter some and posting in some Teams and groups.

Need time to make things -- then photographing and listing!! LOL!!

Got to get ready to go to the Post Office to ship my sale now!

[Former_Member]

OK, I think I have the right thread now.LOL

[WillowTreePottery]

Here are a couple of new listings:

http://www.etsy.com/listing/61619846/noodle-rice-bowl
http://www.etsy.com/listing/61617910/butter-dish-crock-set-with-saucer

I got some good things out of the kiln! It's always like Christmas, opening that lid. Although, sometimes I get switches and coal LOL!

I hope all the peeps find their way here.

[MysticSilks]

willow, do you get some ooop's, too?

Love your new listings--I love pottery!--:)

Yes, Chris, that is it!

Waitng for Tim to post,and art2,and Annie.

[JillianReneDecor]

I was just looking around... this is so much more streamlined! I'm really liking it!

[Former_Member]

Great new listings, Willow.

Morning Klaire

Nice day today here in Florida.

[MysticSilks]

Good Saturday morning all!

They tell us 1 more day of nice weather, and then , and then, whatever Minn. is getting could be on its way here. Don't need it. I don't care if it's 75 degrees on Dec 25th--:)

Been working on some more scarves. I decided to bite the bullet and design a cat scarf. Very fine intricate work. The first attempt, I washed out under the fauset, then ironed the scarf, pinned it down and began again. I am now dying it, step by step.

Happy sales for everyone. Art2, Annie where are you? Tim we'll get you in here.

[Former_Member]

RSSDesignsInFiber/Ruth - Internet marketing can get really time time consuming. I try to save time whenever possible. For example we have our blog set up so that every time I publish a new post, an excerpt shows up automatically on FaceBook. I should make sure it goes to Twitter too:)

Congrats on your sale.

willowtreepottery, you can definitely post your new listings here, but I would also post them on our teams site as well http://www.designstyleguide.net/index.php.

You can exchange your listings within your slots unlimited times free of charge.
