Tooting My Horn! For Etsy!

Do you know Etsy?  I’m not sure how I was introduced to it but I think it was Martha.   Yes, that Martha.   She has Etsy crafters on her show from time to time. 

So I snooped around a few years.  Then a few months ago I decided to take the Etsy plunge.    Why not?  Listing are 20 cents each and last forever.   I don’t know how long truthfully but a long time.   What’s not to love?  Like anything else, you get out of it what you put into it.    Admittedly, I’ve been slacking.  I’m working on it though.

Last Friday,  I decided to list a couple of things and then zipped off to the grocery store.   When I returned an hour later, I checked my Etsy to make sure that my 2 new listings looked OK.  One was gone.  Poof!  Just like that!   Since it was time to make dinner,  I decided I would look into it later.

Baby “O” the baby rattle was missing.  Isn’t it sweet?

After dinner, I was pleasantly surprise to find a Paypal payment in my email!   I must say I am quite impressed with Etsy.   They do promote items and it seems to be getting more and more popular.  Baby “O” was listed for about an hour before finding a new home!  So if you’re pondering an Etsy shop yourself, go for it!  You’ve got nothing to lose!
