I am very excited to announce the birth of the Melbourne Etsy Street Team!!!
team.etsy.com/profilest/aus.shtml we're last but not least!!!
If you want to be listed as a member, simply contact me through the page and I will include you in the next update!!!
The Members of the Melbourne Etsy Street Team are friendly and supportive and looking to network and promote each other in a non-competitive way. The Street Team will have 2-3 get-togethers each year and a weekly thread on the Etsy forums, which anyone can participate with. Our team is one which seeks to place no pressure on sellers - simply be kind, friendly and supportive and, hopefully, create a special Etsy community in Melbourne.
If you do not have an Etsy store you are still welcome to participate in our forum, you just can't be listed as a member :( Sorry!!
So, let's introduce ourselves and start getting to know each other!!

I'll start!
I'm Kass, known as made'n'found here on Etsy and that is also the name os my initiative which supports and promotes handmade. I travel to markets across Australia meeting creators and market owners and basically I'm trying to build a website which supports and promotes Australian handmade.
I'm also a full time practicing artist (about to move into a studio YAY). Etsy selling is a newer thing for me and not my #1 priority - I'm more here to support others!!!
Looking forward to meeting you all!!

Great to be apart of this! My name's Belinda, I'm a stationery designer and my etsy store is called Bella Stationery Studio. I specialise in handmade invitation packs, greeting cards and lots of other paper goodies. All my work features original illustrations and prints created by me.
I recently got married (well about 5 months ago now), and I live with my husband and my dog in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. I also work for a graphic design studio part time. I'm a passionate creator of all things stationery, and I couldn't imagine doing anything else with my life!
Look forward to getting to know you all, and thanks Kass for organising this great team :)

Hello!
I'm Corinne. I'm a bit of a fledgling in the 'creativity-as-business' world, but hope to slowly and surely develop my future, while getting to know others in the same position as me!
Will be great to get to know local Etsy sellers!

Hi, my name is Polia, I'm from the Northern Suburbs of Melbourne and I created Lady Bow P only a few months ago. My shop is currently closed, but I will be reopening as soon as all my branding is done, which I'm hoping will be soon.
I'm very excited about being a part of this team!!

Hi, I'm Georgie. I havent been on Etsy too long. My store has a few very different sections. Really it's just an excuse for me to keep spending money on arts and crafts... pretend I'm selling them.

LOL Georgie, that's the spirit!! Welcome everyone - make sure you let everyone know we're here!
