Art Fire buyer/seller feature

As I had my coffee this morning, and started checking out my shops, and status, I realized there's a feature on Art Fire that is likely being overlooked for the most part by buyers and sellers there. This wonderful new source of handmade goods offers the option for sellers to allow buyers to make offers on their listed products. In other words, when a buyer visits, if the seller has selected this option in their listings, the buyer can make an offer as to an amount they would like to pay for the items. It's a unique option in comparison to Etsy, and because it's optional, it provides a lot of flexibility for the seller. I think this feature adds to the buyer experience as well. We Art Fire artisans need to make this feature better known to those we are promoting to.

Etsy Teams

I am a proud member of two of Etsy's teams. Teams are great for finding friends and other Etsy sellers who have something in common with you! I belong to the EtsyFAST (Etsy Fiber Arts Street Team) and BBEST (Boomers and Beyond Etsy Street Team) and both are groups of wonderful artists/crafters of handmade items! If you go to the Etsy site, and do a search for EtsyFAST or BBEST you will find things made by members of these teams. You'll find some truly amazing things that members have created! Teams on Etsy have special events and sales, so it's a great way to find deals and items made specially to fit within themes. So please take a look when you have some spare time, and you'll be surprised at the talent these two groups have!

To all of my fellow team members, you're a tremendous support to so many, and I appreciate your talent and support!

Also a holiday special is currently being offered to members of these two teams for free shipping with any purchase until December 25th! As a side note, I am also offering free shipping to my Facebook friends, anyone who posts to this blog, and all twitter users. That makes the free shipping available to so many!

Best Customer Award!

I did an earlier post with comments from a recent buyer at my Etsy shop. She was so nice! Today, I received a handmade thank you card from her, and I'm posting pictures of it here. The cover of the card is a photo of the hand needle felted Couch Potato Set that she purchased with an added text bubble, and a lovely, warm, and overwhelmingly sincerely appreciated note inside. I was absolutely awed; my jaw dropped! People like Marla Turner are what makes this world worth being in. What a truly wonderful person! So, hats off to you, Marla, and you receive the Best Customer Award! This reward will result in a special thank you gift to her as soon as possible. I hope everyone can have this kind of positive response from their customers! I will post about the thank you gift once she has already received it, so it won't hamper the surprise for her.

Today's agenda

I have been working steadily on increasing my networking skills. Today I added myself to the Blogcatalog, added some widgets, and also found some of my favorite people/sites and added them as friends or favorites. So much more left for me to do with this! But it's another in many steps I've been taking to be in touch with other artists and like minded people. So now, I need to go take care of the sink full of dirty dishes, and get back to more felting. I have several projects "in progress" and I need to get photos of one that is completed, and work on several that are not yet there! To all the fav's and friends I've added, you all deserve a high five and kudos!

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! My first entry! This is my place to have conversation about myself, my life, and my fiber arts. I'll be adding more as time goes on. Please feel free to comment and please visit my etsy store anytime.
