Shopping on ETSY is one of my favorite things to do! ETSY artists are some of the most talented and creative designers in the world. Christmas shopping time is almost here and I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite ETSY shops with all of you~~~
This Christmas, I would like to do something special for my devoted Followers who are also ETSY shop owners~~ I'd like to share links to YOUR ETSY shops with all of my blog readers. (perhaps this might help to jump start your Christmas season of sales!)
Here are some guidelines~~
1. Your shop needs to be ready for Christmas shopping visitors. Make it look beautiful for your guests!
2. Please leave a comment with a LIVE link to your ETSY shop. (meaning -- when I click on the link it takes me directly to your shop).
3. You might want to consider offering some shopping incentives for your visiting guests. (perhaps a discount code or free shipping). If you plan to do so -- please let me know in your comment. Also please include a one sentence description of your ETSY shop. I will provide the links to your shops -- let folks know if there are any shopping incentives - and write your shop description along with the link.
4. All links need to be left here in my comments NO later than November 25. I will publish the post on November 28.
***(If this little ETSY party is successful -- maybe we can make it an annual event. I love ETSY!)***
Some of my friends who are ETSY shop owners have offered items as gifts for you all. SO -- when I publish the post on the 28th -- there will also be some WONDERFUL giveaway surprises for you at that time!
I hope you all will try to be here on the 28th to visit some of the shops that will be listed and to start your own Christmas shopping! If you are not a frequent visitor to the ETSY website -- you will be amazed by the talents of the folks who create and design there. If you want to give a special gift this Christmas --this is your opportunity to find it among the artists who are participating!! So get ready for some great shopping!!!!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH - you're getting some BEAUTIFUL scarves in - I LOVE this project, and thank you for taking it on! (BTW - Jackie is my dearest friend here in NV - glad she didn't show me the paisley scarf, or I may have grabbed it!).
ReplyDeleteA few things in my etsy shop, still..."Incentive" is that they are WAY discounted, in time for the holidays...always something extra that seems to find it's way into purchase boxes, too. I LOVE a good mix of old and new - (actual tintypes; antique buttons; beads, fabrics, etc.)

For all you do, YOU ROCK!!! Thanks, Vicki - Happy Thursday...XOXO
These are really incredible scarves. I must say I feel slightly intimidated making a scarf given my modest knitting skills. But I will soldier on! Such generosity makes warms my heart.
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of generosity...aren't the sweetest for offering up a blog post of Etsy shop links.
Hi Vicki!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea the scarf project is. Highlighting other bloggers' Etsy shop is a great plan too - unfortunately I don't have a shop on there - like many UK based artists mine is on Folksy.co.uk - would that count? Either way I will look forward to seeing all the links in the future post and hope to do some Christmas shopping! Bettythewoodfairy

ReplyDeleteWonderful scarves! Will I be able to do something like that? Thank you also for your suggestions about Etsy. I'd like to open a e-shop but I think it's better to become more known between bloggers and then open a shop. Don't you think so?
ReplyDeleteVicki, you amaze me with your energy!! Love all of the things you are doing. Excellent. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhhh - those scarves are absolutely magnificant. There are going to be lots of women wrapped in beauty because of generous and talented souls. Wish I had an Etsy shop so that it could be listed here. Maybe some day!!! You are the best, my dear friend, and I love you!
ReplyDeletekosec@sbcglobal.net
Beautiful gifts of love are such heartwarming confirmation that our lives are full of some generous people. Thank you Vicki for sharing these creations. Jan
ReplyDeleteSo many events...so much fun! Can't wait to visit the shops..and no fighting big crowds! You are always doing so many nice things for bloggers. Thanks so much! I just got the word that a local knitting group will be doing scarves for us! I can't wait to get them so I can send in the pics! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteMy link to folksy shop is: I have just opened it recently and make silk paintings. Looking forward to the event. http://folksy.com/shops/Bettythewoodfairy
ReplyDeleteVicki, you are always coming up with ways to give back, share and help others along the way. It's a lovely thing! All the scarves you've received are so beautiful! I know that my friend Val at YarniGras has already crocheted several for the cause. If I lived in the States, I would definitely be shopping Etsy, but on this side of the world, the mail system is so unpredictable -- I would hate for anything to get lost. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the weekend. Hugs, Tammy
