Hi team! I am fairly new on Etsy. I opened my shop here making jewelry three months ago. I kinda just dived in and made it an LLC. Still learning and willing and ready to soak up any knowledge that can help me grow and maintain my business. Especially tax related!

Anyhow, I'm happy to be a part of this team and I look forward to interacting with others.

We were so tried of using products on our skin with harmful ingredients so we decided to bring ours to market.

[YourFineHouse]

I'm from Boston Massachusetts and have been selling antiques and vintage for over 15 years. I originally was in a small group shop in downtown historical Concord Massachusetts. I met some wonderful, interesting people and leaned a lot from them. I left there after almost 10 years. I've been selling on Etsy for about 4 years now and it's suits me just fine.

Hello Fellow Artists! My name is Karen and I paint meditation paintings. I am new to Etsy and am excited to figure out how to do this. I am inspired by the wide range of offerings from this group!

Like many of you I have a day job as an art teacher. I have taught art for many years and done some gallery stuff, but I am hoping this will be a good venue for inspiration and sales. I jus opened my shop last week so any tips you have are welcome.

[Former_Member]

Hello everyone,
I'm new on Etsy and I haven't opened my shop yet. However, I'm trying to meet other creative people, view their shops, be a customer and generally experience Etsy. I hope I'll be able to set up my Etsy shop soon enough, so I can show you my creations on silver jewellery inspired by positive thinking.. Till then, I enjoy every minute with you!

Howdyhi!

I'm Chris and I'm here on ETSY to make a goal come true! That goal is to be outgrowing my home to sell in a storefront and from storefront to a building! I've spent a lot of my life in retail and wanted to create something that was alot better to both customer and employee than it is currently. I was an aspiring store manager at Lowes before corporate decided to ax all of us department managers company wide. It was at that point that I knew it was time to go. I'm new to small business and online selling, but learn more everyday. I'm a giant sponge and love feedback (I was in the military I can take it lol). This company idea has been in the works (along with mounds of ideas and sketches) for two years, so it was about time.

My store is a retail store with more being made and added to the inventory. Currently we sell clothes, spices and hair care products.

I hope I can draw from all you vets in the etsy/small business game and have my own successes.

Also our logo is in the trademark process and that uber exciting in itself!

Super stoked to be here guys!

Greetings All,

Happy selling!

Hello everyone~My name on Etsy is
"Beadspirit by JMT". I've been a member for a while and tried to sell once before.
I handmade 85-90% of my listings. Some others are loose gemstones & a few unique jewelry pieces from gem shows, etc.
I make OOAK pieces of quality semi precious gemstones including a bit of precious gems. Everything from earrings to bridal hair combs. I got into bridal when both of my children were married and they assigned me to make all the attendants jewelry, hair pieces and my daughter wanted all of it. Including little frames we put on her bouquet with photos of both grandparents our weddings.
I enjoy making jewelry and have always had a passion for gemmology & the entire process.
I was a nurse for over 30 years when I had to retire from it due to an injury. I then went back to school~in person from interior design & received a degree. And online courses from the GIA
I'm having the worst time getting noticed & haven't had a sale yet :-( I have
My pieces are a variety and I'll make anything anyone asks, especially with bridal.
I need help! Don't understand why we have to pay to be highlighted. This isn't the Etsy I remember from the old days.
Please help!

Hi! I launched March 1st! Nerve racking!!! LOL! Lots of learning curves!!
I love to paint ... watercolor and acrylic, and more recently I've worked in mixed media. I live on the Gulf Coast where there is ample inspiration when there are fishermen and hunters in the family! For lack of a better word, I 'tinker' in lots of disciplines ... assemblage, polymer clay, paper crafting, etc., etc., etc.. Currently, my focus is .... SEO's!

[TJsixtyfive]
