Etsy Friends

When I opened my first Etsy shop 3 1/2 years ago, I was completely unaware that I would form friendships with people across the world. I have met so many incredible people through that site. We've laughed together, got excited together and cried together. We bounced ideas off each other, bitched about the occasional NPB's, snarked about the snarkiest of all snarkers. We shared secrets, recipes and gardening tips. Babies were born. Family members lost. Pets traveled to the Rainbow Bridge. Hell, I'd never even heard about the Rainbow Bridge until I read about it in ETC.

I've learned a lot from many of you. I knew zip when I started out. Never even used a digital camera before. And had to learn A LOT of things that I really did not want to learn. To those that took the time to explain how to do something or to listen to me go on about something.....well, there really are no other words, other than thanks and xoxo.

Until next time.....

Congrats Are In Order

I love logging onto Etsy to find that some of my friends are in the spotlight. Funny how you gravitate towards certain people in cyberspace, isn't it? I have a strand of sellers that I feel this way about. Sellers that you can go to with a problem, a joke, or plain old fashioned conversation.

Yesterday, two of my peeps were making news.

I gasped when I saw the featured seller yesterday, followed by a scream and a quick convo to Ginger, known on Etsy as msbelle. She's the current featured seller.

And this morning, while reading blog updates, I read that Sherry, otherwise known as sherrytruitt, is the featured seller in the 'Quit your day job' series in the Storque. With one eye open, and coffee in hand, I rushed over to the blog to read the interview.

Great interviews! I'm so, so happy for these two women.

May you both have more sales than you wish for, and then some.

Until next time.....
