My First Sale!

The baby blanket is beautiful. You did a really good job on it. It looks like quality work! I am not familiar with Etsy. Then again I do not do any crafts or anything like that. I don't know if that is what Etsy is centered around or not. I will check it out. Take care and happy lotting!! :)

How exciting! I sold one set of the little angels I make on etsy, and I was so excited. I've had some luck selling knitting on craigslist, actually - people post that they need items knitted for their stores, and I've knitted a few.

Congratulations!! After two years on etsy I have two sales but I am not very active on there. I do ceeramics, polymer clay, and I just started making bears. I have Rufus listed on ebay and hope he sells.

Marie-- Etsy has never been my thing, but I have a friend who does very well there with her crochet and other random crafts. Her store is: scarywhitegirl Or maybe that's just her user name. She has tons of cute and unique stuff, but more importantly the etsy folks in her city--Seattle--actually get together in RL and do craft fairs and stuff exchanges. You might want to look for something like that in your area.

Hello Ldyjarhead, that was a good news indeed. Congratulation for your first sale in the internet. I hope you can sale another nexr time. Always think positive and everything will be go smoothly.

Well, Congratulation. You are great. What's ETSY?

HI, Congrats! on your sale. Let me know if you ever start to make finger towels for the bathroom...I just love them!

[i]Hi Ldyjar, that's great! Wow! I have seen the picture and it is really wonderful, I am sure she will love it..Hmm..I cannot do that but I have tried cross-stitching before, I just stopped after I started to get busy doing other stuff, I have not learned a lot of craft thoughLOL![/i]

I'm not into crafts even thou my dad always told me I should have some kind of hobby or job working with my hands being I was always building stuff for my guinea pigs when I was a kid and other stuff. That's great you finally sold a blanket. Maybe now you will sell more.

Congrats on your sale. Its a beautiful blanket. She will love it. Yes, there is a lot of competition on Etsy. I have an etsy shop and I have 7 sales. I make hair accessories. I hope you have more sales to come.

My daughter and I have started making earrings (bead) and she really wants to start selling them. We were thinking about Etsy! What do you think?

What a beautiful baby blanket. Great job. When I home schooled my son, he and his dad and I used to do lots of crafts and take them to craft fairs and festivals. (We needed the income, since I was not working outside the home.) We didn't specialize in any one thing, but selected the fairs and festivals we wanted to attend, then started making things. Our favorite was a Watermelon Festival in central Florida. It was certainly my son's favorite, because his crafts (he was around 9 at the time) always sold out first, and he used the money to ride and eat. :-) I still have an awesome planter he painted - with the inside looking just like a watermelon. I used to sell a frugal newsletter at the craft fairs - and usually sold 100-150 copies. I also made "grandma remembers" books - like the ones now sold in card stores. And painted jars with messages in them. I also had a gift basket business back then.

Congratulations on your sale! I do many kinds of crafts. Mostly lately I've been making beaded jewelry and I also make patterns for some of my designs. I learned to crochet when I was 4 and have done a lot of crochet work through the years. Just now I'm starting to get into crocheting bags etc. out of plastic grocery bags. I also make natural soap, salves and other skin care products. I have an Etsy shop but haven't sold any of my jewelry. The patterns sell better.

Congratulations! I hope you have many more sales. I've saw Etsy on some blog when dropping Entrecards, but never knew what it was all about. Is it just for crafters? Is there a website you join and put your stuff up for sale on? What is it all about?

I don't have a shop on Etsy. There was a time when I would have considered getting one because I was always making crafts. Love the blanket you made. Good luck wiht your business.

Good for you!!!! I haven't sold anything yet...hopefully I will in the future! Your blankets are beautiful!

That's awesome that you made your first Sale on ETSY. I've heard of it but I don't have a shop there. Though one day when things slow down a bit I might check into it a bit further. I like crocheting and making jewelry with beads. But haven't had much time to do either for a bit.

Congratulations on your first sale on Etsy. When I sold my first item it was pretty exciting. I have also been with Etsy several months now and have only sold a couple of items. If I was more active with it I know I could sell more. I really need to list more and get to making more jewelry. It is competitive but there are many beautiful things on the Etsy site. Good luck to you with your Etsy shop.

You did a really good job on the baby blanket that you just sold on Etsy. I do not really do any crafty stuff. I am more into baking than crafts. My grandmother used to make baby blankets, afghans, quilts, doilies, and all that stuff. She loved it. I never learned how.

It looks like she's going to love the baby blanket...it's beautiful! Isn't it a great feeling when you find out that someone, somewhere has purchased something you made with your own hands? I've been on Etsy for nearly a year and I still get that warm-fuzzy feeling when someone spends their hard earned money on something I personally created. I make handmade jewelry...talk about a tough market to sell in , but it's a lot of fun and the people at Etsy are just great and very supportive. I joined the street team for New Jersey and we all put each other in the treasuries when we get one (one of my items were in a front page treasury on Etsy on Saturday!) What's the name of your shop, I'd like to stop by, take a look and send a heart or two your way! Congrats on your first sale and may there be many more to follow!
