Hi there!
My name is Joanne and I grow plants and make cool stuff with them. I have been selling plants for almost 10 years but only recently quit my job as a tax accountant to do this full time! My shop has been growing like crazy and I'm ready to take it to the next level. Thanks for the invite. Cheers! Joanne

Hello,

I'm Barbara and I recycle decommissioned paragliders and parachutes into all sorts of accessories. I am a painter and an art quilter and very into recycling and sustainability. Once I started sewing with the gliders and chutes I was hooked. Brilliant color + durable fabric = endless possibilities.

I am always looking for new information and ideas about selling online. Thanks for the invitation.

Hello fellow team members,
I am a full time elementary art teacher, mom, and apron maker on ETSY. I've been here going on 4 years and seem to have a love/hate relationship with my shop. I think it is time to learn how to do this thing or close up shop. Hopefully my involvement with this team will have me head over heels in no time. I'm still on the ride and don't want to get off yet. Looking forward to this!

[Former_Member]

Jean...how interesting. And I share your love of photography! Glad to have you here.

Susanna...boy I hear you about Etsy...it can be hard with a busy life. But working the 'system' per se and staying involved is how you get the exposure your shop needs to launch it and keep it rolling.

I'm glad you decided to hang on for a bit. I'm here if you need me.
