Hello! I just joined this group, so I can learn from all the experienced Michigan Etsy sellers.

I started Home & Abroad two years ago and would like to become more efficient. I look forward to scouring the group posts for helpful tips!

I have a facebook page, but don't think I have made the most of it: https://www.facebook.com/homeandabroadshop

Very pleased to meet you!

Hello Everyone

I'm Jess born and raised in Michigan! Currently living in Southfield. I love to make things and drink wine and ride horse's so now I make things using the wine bottles and horse shoes. My family and I trap in the winter months so I also make things from traps still working on a few more trap items to add to my shop. Will be up soon for you all and everyone else to see and buy.

Hello All,

I have had an Etsy shop for a few years, but am just starting to take advantage of some of the networking and Team resources available through Etsy.

I am primarily a fused glass jewelry artist, but dabble in other areas such as lampwork glass, fiber arts, and arts and crafts in general. I love to talk with their artists, and also enjoy trading artwork with other artists when possible (I have found this to be a good way to network and to promote each other's work).

I was born and raised in Michigan, and went to college in the UP. I'm just starting to play around with ways to pay homage to my own state in some of my glass jewelry pieces. Please check out my shop and let me know what you think-I would love suggestions if anyone has any :)

Hello,
I've been apart of the Etsy community for the past couple of years. I'm not into the computer thing much but I'm trying. I struggle with keeping things updated on line, etc. I enjoy our great state and I love making things found/salvaged from Michigan. Just posting it, is my weakness. Keep checking back with me, as sooner or later, I'll finally update my new listings. I strive to share with others the natural beauty that surrounds us. I use, often looked over materials, in my art.
Enjoy!
Carrie

I am a huge nerd when it comes to (as I'm sure you can guess) anime, video games, and comics. I like playing RPG's and MMO's, I'm a crazy cat lady, and pickles are my favorite food! I love drawing, collecting action figures, and anything with glitter!

Here are some samples of what I offer in my shop:

Hello everyone! I've been on Etsy awhile, but had no idea about teams until another shop owner mentioned them! This is fab!

Hi everyone! I recently moved back home after living in Kansas for 3 years. It's great to be back, but I'll always be grateful for the time I was in Kansas since that's where I first began selling on Etsy. I'm hoping to network with you all and plant my business roots here at home! Thank you for the opportunity!

My Name is Chris. I'm in SE Michigan. I am still new to Etsy. I mostly make handmade elevated dog food stands with storage. I really enjoy being outside so that's why I like woodworking because I can do it outside. I just got my first sale not long ago! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

[TheHappyHoopla]

My first post here...I think, at least the first in a very very long time :) I have had my shop now for a few years but am ready to start treating it more like a little business rather then just a "hobby". I make embroidery hoop art when I am not busy with our two kiddos. I have been staying home with them the past three years and created this shop as a creative outlet and to make a little extra cash. We live in Grand Rapids,MI. I am looking to increase the number of products that I have and start selling internationally (baby steps right?)

Hello Everyone!

I opened my shop on Etsy about a month ago and I'm eager to learn all I can about the ins and outs of selling on Etsy. In my shop I sell hand-lettered items. Right now I have greeting cards and workout tanks. Plans to add Michigan items are in the works! I'm born and raised in Metro Detroit and I like meeting people with the same passion for our state. Stop in and take a look at my shop!

Thank you!
