Etsy Street Teams...Starving Artist Team on Etsy "SATeam"

I have had an active Etsy shop coming up on one year...well the word "active" is only descriptive of the shop being open for business...not the amount of business. Admittedly, I have not been an "active" shopkeeper. There are lots of excuses I can come up with to justify my inactivity, but I will not go on to list them.

Plagiarism...NOT!

I'm not usually given to public rants...but a recurring topic seems to be rearing it's ugly head within the jewelry making communities...some folks choose to call it "Plagiarism".

Initially, I would like to suggest that if anyone is afraid of someone being inspired by your jewelry designs and possibly replicating or using an element in a design of their own...don't post your work on public forum boards. Most forums are about sharing what you know, inspiring others to learn what you have to offe… Continue

Taking A Step Back...

In February of this year I put up my first items for sale (online) in my dormant Etsy shop. I had opened the Etsy selling account in October of last year and was just unable to move forward with the listings...it has been revealed to me that this is not at all uncommon. I would equate it to a case of pre-nuptual jitters, cold feet, the moment of truth...faced with the possibility of failure I was immobilized.
After just a week or so, a forum buddy of mine saw one of the items I had listed in the… Continue

Thank you so much for the warm welcome. With the spring gardening, I am having a little trouble getting enough time to make jewelry, but pretty soon I think it will settle out.

We're all going to miss you ladies! I can't wait for the "reports" though! :) Have fun, ok? Maybe I'll join you all next year. :D

I'm easy to miss. Lol. ;)
As for the glass- we've found the rut of "holy heck we have to build this, and do this... blah blah blah" which takes money. hehehe. So it's still aging in my mind- like a good wine. :)
How're you doing today?
