I'm Amy, I've been selling mostly sewn crafts on Etsy for two years now and craft supplies for a little over a year. I'm a Longview native and what I love the most about this area is that no matter where you are, the wilderness is right next door :)

Hello my name is Misty, I live in the Longview area and have for about 15 years now. I am a mom to 2 amazing girls that are 13 and 4. I have had my Etsy shop open since the end of 2010. I make and sell Infinity Scarves, Fingerless Gloves, fabric bracelets and hair accessories. My shop originally started out as a jewelry shop. Shortly after opening I had bought some fabric and thought I would give it a try at some infinity scarves and well lets just say I was hooked after that lol.
Thank you for the invite to this Team! I am looking forward to learning about all the local Etsians :D

Janice, I'd love to see how much interest we can generate and maybe have a get-together in town somewhere! If any of you know of other local members, definitely send them this way! I'll work on finding and inviting more locals tomorrow and see what kind of interest we can drum up :)

Hello All!

My name is Kallie and I was born and raised in Longview. I opened my Etsy shop a few months ago and focus on knitting and crocheting hats and headbands. I plan on branching out with more creations in the future. I have two children, a son who is 11 and a 3 year old daughter. How exciting to be invited to this team with so many talented individuals.

[Former_Member]

Welcome, Kallie! Checked out your shop--love your headbands! Fill in your shop a bit more and I'm sure they'll sell :)

Hello, Everyone - I am tardy to the party and happy to find a moment to write and say hello and thank you for the invitation to join this team.

My name is Laren, pronounced like Karen! I retired two years ago and am loving my involvement with Etsy and my shop, beaded jewelry inspired by nature's materials. I am celebrating my one year anniversary this month, offering a gift-with-purchase and June buyers are automatically entered in the Grand Prize Drawing.

My husband and I moved to the countryside in Rose Valley nearly eight years ago, from Vancouver, WA. We have always lived on acreage and find this piece of heaven, surrounded with nature and wildlife, to be the best time of our lives.

To keep things simple I am linking to one of my favorite items in the shop here:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/153036297 I love working with all metals and combining lampwork, Czech, natural agates and crystals into my designs.

Hello Fellow Cowlitz County Ladies.

Im really excited to see a local group of women here on Etsy! I am a jewelry designer working mainly with semi precious and precious beaded jewelry, wire wrapping, and forming/setting with sterling silver. My Etsy adventure started in late May this year, but I have had pieces in town at Find the Time Pilates on Commerce in Longview since September last year.

I am a mother to one little girl, 15 months, and a lovely black lab who is 5 years old. For my other life, I work part time and go to school part time as well.

Obviously all of you ladies are busy as well but a gathering sounds like fun!

Thanks for having me,
Katie
