Buying and selling handcrafted goodies on Etsy.com!

Posted on January 11, 2013 by Claire Gould

I’m so excited — I’ve just launched a shop on Etsy for my cal­lig­ra­phy bits and bobs. I won­dered if you’ve ever bought from the site before, or sold there? Any Etsy fans, wed­ding sup­pli­ers or admir­ers, I’d really love to hear your advice and opin­ions about the site.

I am (… is this sad?!) look­ing for­ward to read­ing the Quick Start Guide for sell­ers later on, but in the mean­time any hints and tips you lovely peo­ple have to share will be ever so welcome!

I must thank my lovely friend Jo from Vin­tage Twee whose store has very much inspired mine! I’ve always loved how Jo’s store looks, and I was tak­ing inspi­ra­tion from her this morn­ing (she has no idea…) so Jo, thank you!!!

If you haven’t dis­cov­ered Etsy yet, then allow me to share two fab­u­lous wed­dings with you — both Naomi and Rachel bought good­ies from Etsy.com, and their Eng­lish Wed­dings were fea­tured on my favourite wed­ding blog (I’m biased haha)…

    You are bril­liant to be mak­ing a go of it with Etsy. If I were plan­ning my big day, Etsy would be among my top choices for all things wed­ding. I am a huge fan of indi­vid­ual arti­sans mak­ing their mark on the world. I pray your endeavor is a huge suc­cess!

    Good luck with your Etsy adven­tures. Look for­ward to hear­ing how it goes. Some­how from con­sid­er­ing Etsy I ended up using Shopify instead, sure there was a good rea­son at the time!
