What is Etsy you ask?

What is Etsy?
Etsy is an online marketplace for buying & selling all things handmade.Their mission is to enable people to make a living making things, and to reconnect makers with buyers.
Their vision is to build a new economy and present a better choice: Buy, Sell, and Live Handmade.


To me Etsy is:

  • An affordable place to showcase my lampwork beads and sterling silver jewelry. I set the price and don't rely on getting the price I want through an auction. I know what I spent to create what I made and can ask a fair price for it.
  • A community of like minded people always eager to help support a fellow artisan.
  • A wealth of information to help encourage growth and success.

Everyday I am amazed at the new information that is available for sellers on Etsy. From Team Etsy to the Storque they are there for you to learn and stretch to new heights.

Thank you Etsy for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this great community!
