As an Etsy addict (yes, I admit it!), I make a point to “heart” any item that catches my fancy, be it for me, as a gift for a friend, to feature here on Etsy’s blog, or just because it’s an amazing example of craftsmanship that could only be found on Etsy. Today I’m unmasking other Etsy Addicts to reveal some of the top hearters on the site. These Etsy Community members (both buyers and sellers) have collected astounding numbers of Favorites, and they keep them public for your benefit. Here are the interviews we did with these fine folk.
MacraMe’s Favorites: 2284 Pages (and Counting)
MacraMe was featured in yaelfran‘s Shop Local Argentina not long ago.
Why do you heart things on Etsy?
We heart for several reasons: because we love the item, to keep lists of items for our Treasury addiction, as a way of promotion, and we like to encourage new sellers.
Do you actively share your Etsy Favorites with anyone?
Our Favorites are open for everyone to see and we have an Etsy Mini of our Favorites on our blog.
Do you look at or follow other people’s Favorites? Would you care to share any of their names?
After almost three years of being on Etsy we don’t follow other people’s Favorites, but at the beginning we used the Connections tool as a way to search and browse.
Do you buy a lot of your Favorites? If not, what’s the purpose behind bookmarking them?
We have bought on very special occasions. Unfortunately Argentina has an unfavorable exchange rate for making purchases — so we have all those hearts in the hope of someday being able to buy. We bookmarked them also for the reasons we mention before, and, if we hearted them, why un-heart?
You’ve been on Etsy for some time. What’s your favorite thing about the site?
Etsy is full of beautiful things, but our favorite is Treasury. We don’t speak English very well so this tool lets us participate without the necessity of language. We have learned a lot making them, and it helps us to improve our store. Now, with more experience, we have a lot of fun making Treasuries, but the best thing is that it aided us in making friends with wonderful people whom we may never meet in person but whose affection we can still feel.
Another thing we love is the blog, The Storque, not only for the news, but for the old posts as well. We see them as records of the Etsy story. Also we must mention the opportunity of belonging to a Team. We are members of the Etsy in Spanish Team, where we can communicate in Spanish and meet every Friday with our Spanish-speaking comrades in the Chat Rooms. As we said, there are a lot of beautiful things on Etsy!
What are your hopes for Etsy’s future?
We hope Etsy has continuity over time and that the economic crisis will be overcome quickly, in order for artists and crafters to be able to continue to develop in a positive way. We understand that Etsy has to evolve. Every day there are more people, more news, advances in technology and trade, but we hope Etsy doesn’t lose the home spirit, the flavor of what was done by hand which made Etsy a very special place.
yaelfran’s Favorites: 1452 Pages (and Counting)
Why do you heart things on Etsy?
I don’t know exactly why, but I LOVE to heart items that catch my attention, and I LOVE to see who hearted me or my own items.
Do you actively share your Etsy Favorites with anyone?
Sometimes, if there is a special item I want to show to my husband or friends. For example, it was my friend’s birthday, and I hearted four or five items to share with my other friends. We had decided to buy her a ring from Etsy, so I told my friends to look at my recent Favorites and from there we could choose one to buy.
Do you look at or follow other people’s Favorites? Would you care to share any of their names?
ALWAYS. I think it’s one of the things I enjoy most at Etsy: looking at my Favorites’ Favorites. Of course I’d give you their names! elsita, irisschwarz, knots, iomiss, timssally, polarity, sushipot, prettylittlethieves, kjoo… and so many more.
Do you buy a lot of your Favorites? If not, what’s the purpose behind bookmarking them?
No, I like to heart items here because of great photos, wonderful design, excellent composition, but not necessarily to buy them. I just love the idea of sellers knowing their creations are loved!
You’ve been on Etsy for almost three years. What’s your favorite thing about the site?
Since I started, I’ve been saying the same thing about Etsy: I ADORE how user-friendly Etsy is. I really love the design, it is a pleasure to be a seller here, I enormously enjoy working on Etsy!
What are your hopes for Etsy’s future?
I hope Etsy will be better and better every day, improving communication between the community and Admins and keeping honesty and common sense as their most important values.
Earmark’s Favorites: 1418 Pages (and Counting)
Why do you heart things on Etsy?
Because I love the items, want to feature an item, want to use an item in a Treasury, must buy it or if I am comparing items that I want/need in the future. Basically, I heart items so I do not lose track of the item/shop.
Do you actively share your Etsy Favorites with anyone?
I put up the Etsy Mini of my Favorites on my blog.
Do you look at or follow other people’s Favorites? Would you care to share any of their names?
I guess I do not follow anyone in particular. I look through MANY people’s Favorites and I probably follow ThePeachTree‘s faves the most.
Do you buy a lot of your Favorites? If not, what’s the purpose behind bookmarking them?
I do buy items from my Favorites, but I also use my Favorites as more of a wish list. I would love to be able to organize my faves into sections (wish lists, bags, edibles).
You’ve been on Etsy for almost three years. What’s your favorite thing about the site?
Pretty much everything. I think Etsy has opened so many doors and been great at showcasing unique art and handmade goods from around the world. I love that. I have met so many awesome people and companies via Etsy. Without Etsy, it would have taken much longer to get to where we are today, and for that I am forever grateful!
What are your hopes for Etsy’s future?
I would love to see some additional third party applications that improve and enhance the Etsy experience. Otherwise I just hope that more people shop on here and purchase stationery from Earmark…ha ha!
Dajellybaby’s Favorites: 1823 Pages (and Counting)
Why do you heart things on Etsy?
I usually heart things on Etsy that catch my eye. I do this for several reasons. The first one is because I am planning to purchase that particular item. I often check Etsy quickly throughout the day, and if I spot something that I like, I may not be able to purchase it then and there. Hearting the item ensures that I have easy access to it later, and it means I don’t have to remember or record the item or seller details — which is great because I have a terrible memory!
Another reason is because I really like the item and/or the seller’s store, and I want to come back to it at a later date. I enjoy browsing the listings of items that I like, and I particularly love browsing the stores of favorite sellers who intrigue me. With a lot of the items that I really like, I enjoy revisiting the listing and having a good look at the item again, the different listing photos, etc. This also sometimes helps me to make up my mind as to whether I want to purchase the item. I find a lot of the pictures and descriptions fantastic and very alluring — it’s hard not to fall in love. I often fall in love with the way a seller has marketed their product.
I also heart items or sellers’ stores for future reference, for example, ideas for upcoming birthday gifts.
Do you actively share your Etsy Favorites with anyone?
Not really. I have shared the details of the Etsy site itself with others. I have also shared the details of particular Etsy sellers from whom I have purchased items. This usually occurs after people notice an Etsy purchased item and ask where I got it.
Do you look at or follow other people’s Favorites? Would you care to share any of their names?
I don’t really follow other people’s favorites. I have actually only checked out five other people’s favorites, and they are five Etsy sellers that I have purchased from in the past. I love these particular sellers, and I really admire their sense of style, their personality, their designs, etc. I thought I might be able to find some really fascinating and intriguing items from their favorites, as they are quite fascinating and intriguing people. They include Monique, a.k.a. ouma; Jessi Taylor, a.k.a. jessitaylor; Christine, a.k.a. BloomStudios; Allison, a.k.a. MmeFortuna and Katie, a.k.a. ktjean.
Do you buy a lot of your Favorites? If not, what’s the purpose behind bookmarking them?
I do buy a lot of my favorites, although I think that I bookmark a lot more than I buy. I really wish that it was the other way around! The reason that I think I have so many favorites comes down to wishful thinking. I really love the designs, concepts and ideas of a lot of the items on Etsy, and I have found in the past that if I don’t heart an item, I have trouble remembering any details to find it again. I find it’s very convenient having a “Favorites section” of my profile.
What’s your favorite thing about Etsy?
I love two things actually about the Etsy site. The first is the gorgeous sense of community and the friends that I have made since I joined. The second is the easy access I have to so many amazing and talented artists who handmake and/or collect, recycle and celebrate vintage and homemade goods. If it wasn’t for Etsy, I wouldn’t have access to these really talented folk. I would still be purchasing mass-produced, store-bought items!
What are your hopes for Etsy’s future?
I’d really love to see Etsy continue to grow and blossom, welcoming even more fabulous sellers and items, and for sellers themselves to see a continued rise in new customers and buyers. In spite of any growth, I would really like to see the community side of Etsy continue — where customer service, the sense of trust, friendship and kinship are still paramount. I would really hate to see Etsy become like eBay, where both sellers and buyers can often be exploited. I think Etsy is wonderful and the Etsy site, its team and its sellers deserve every success.

Something I remembered while reading here, I have seen people who have hearted items in my shop as part of their wedding registry and baby shower registry.

I wonder how all that works out for those who use it as a registry for wedding and baby shower. guess it could work for registries for many different events. For the record, I like looking at other peoples favorites.

None of us ever get too old or too successful to continue to learn from others, and we should pay it forward to those just getting started...

As a new ETSY shop owner, I check daily to see who hearts me. It is like a little gift when you see a new heart. And then of course I have to go that person's shop and browse around, read their profiles, etc. I love hearting items and sellers too. There are so many incredibly talented people selling on ETSY, I don't why anyone would shop anywhere else. I am committed to buying as much of my jewelry supplies, and personal favs, from ETSY as I can. My favorite shop is bellajewels and bellagemsandjewels. Her work is stunning!

It seems as if every time I go on the Etsy site, there is another shop I love. How do you do it, Etsy? Really, why go into stores when you can get so many wonderful things just sitting at your compter?
