All the other artists do amazing work too. Equal congratulations to them.

Staging (also known as great photographs) is so important to making great sales. The snowflake cuff above might have been overlooked without the artful staging and a light box to take the photographs. Many new Etsy sellers have wonderful hand crafted items that get lost in the darkness of a photograph taken without the right lighting. Applause to these winning sellers who "got it."

Jan. 22, 2009 at 2:53 p.m. lindab142

I voted in this, but it's so hard to pick one. Thanks for being mentors to others.

Wonderful Waterrose, you created a beautiful memory for me, our country road was lined every summer with Queen Ann's lace, I loved it and often collected it with other wild flowers for the center of our table... guess I never thought of it as 'just a weed'... Thank You.. well deserved first place!
