I sell/buy on Etsy (such variety to shop from), and get a lot of my focal pieces there. I also shop during my travels in the United States and around the world, looking for unique beads, fibers and findings. Love your beads and books, Heather.<br />Trish.Farrar@comcast.netAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04426476273561662905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-39050000838468675362016-10-19T14:56:28.230-04:002016-10-19T14:56:28.230-04:00I always love Etsy to sell.

I have met so many people all over and so many I still write to and I would call my friends. I just sent all of the women i met through my store a copper feather brooch I made and we decided to name ourselves The Women of Peace. I do a lot of trunk shows in my studio/cottage also.Sandra Pendragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14567733620656786747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-74159857496149182512015-11-23T00:50:27.660-05:002015-11-23T00:50:27.660-05:00Heather,

I like showing a new design on my page or in a FB group and having someone say "I want that"...can't beat that feeling!

Buying takes me all over; I still haunt Etsy...but have joined several Facebook groups and follow artists as they set up their own sales web sites as well.

I enjoy buying on etsy, but lately I've been buying in Facebook too. There is something personal and fun about it - like an event. I used to be a bit skittish about it, but I've gotten very comfortable. I hope you had a great, fun show!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110950629018970436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-86088273727907331922015-11-22T00:00:01.974-05:002015-11-22T00:00:01.974-05:00I sell on Etsy and mostly buy handmade items No on...I sell on Etsy and mostly buy handmade items No one from Etsy.

Making different color versions of favorite pieces and having some nice inexpensive pieces in your booth is good advice too, thanks!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321818207012570471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-27665201435922643702015-11-21T19:35:16.670-05:002015-11-21T19:35:16.670-05:00Maybe I'm used to it, but Etsy is still the fi...Maybe I'm used to it, but Etsy is still the first place I search whenever I want to buy something.<br />I often buy from eBay as well, mostly chinese crystals and gemstones.<br />Your display sounds dreamy, good luck with your show!<br /><br />Despina Veneti <br />veneti.despina@gmail.com DespinaVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122831535943610785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-45664362923512283902015-11-21T16:13:12.118-05:002015-11-21T16:13:12.118-05:00No doubt, I'm an online shopper, for beads and...No doubt, I'm an online shopper, for beads and anything else. I like the ease of online: jammies, coffee, middle of the night, etc. As for selling, I've done in person, but would like to do just online going forward.<br /><br />Heather, I'm loving those tree pins. What a subtle Christmas touch that can work from the first cool breeze of fall through to April 1st.<br /><br />Have fun all.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439309308916922626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-10310811798538264852015-11-21T11:40:47.305-05:002015-11-21T11:40:47.305-05:00Very cool stuff, Heather!

I don't have a big enough following for anybody to find my own website, and I don't enjoy pitching my wares on FB at all. But then, jewelry is more a hobby for me--I don't even try to make a living at it.Erin Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14660928844295427111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-3729541661627266502015-11-21T11:19:47.804-05:002015-11-21T11:19:47.804-05:00Love your collections, Heather...just shows how gr...Love your collections, Heather...just shows how great your handmade components look paired with other artisans work or on their own.
