You're getting closer! I'm sure Phoenix in the summer would be lovely, right? (Well, it is pretty cheap!)
elfandsparrow
WOW is that locket in the picture beautiful! San Fran is too far for me, but we can all live vicariously!
BubbleArt
Wonderful news! We're in Mountain View, about 45 minutes south of SF and we'll try to be there on June 9th.

That's cool... when are you coming over to Boston!... come on, lobster, beans, a tea party??? isn't that tempting? :)

Thanks for featuring my necklace!
I wish I could meet you in San Francisco. Maybe you can come to Houston sometime.
fixedgeargal
I will be attending and will be bringing the love of my life, my 8 mo. old son, Mr. Inspector General, the chief designer of my work and the muse for my inspiration. Bring the swag, (he loves the Etsy stickers for his vintage diaper (bag) suitcase,) and I will be bringing baby love and showing off my latest monsters and zines! Any other single Moms in the East Bay? I am in Castro Valley. Let's take BART and represent!
UglyGerbil
I will be there. It's 2 blocks from work, I really can't say no!

What is the agenda? Can it be emailed to all sellers in the Bay Area at least one week before June 9th?
eRosasjewelry

kestreldesigns
I will be there if I have to strap on a jet pack and fly from work over the Bay :}
CayeShoals
Ahh, I'm hurt! I'm in ATL this Spring - won't be home until the 24th. I'll be there in spirit though...sniff :-(
modflo

SittingInATree
I think I can make the 15 minute bicycle ride. see you then!
AlliesAdornments
I'll make the drive in from the central valley. Looking forward to it!
MeadowbelleMarket
Hmm, if only you'd been in SF two summers ago when I visited...Well, since that's not possible, perhaps my sis and I can snag a last minute flight from KC! (also jealous of Ms. 15 Minute Bicycle Ride) ;)
chullozoo
grrrr! working that night! still, it's fantastic that you're putting this together. Cheers!

So hoping I can make it from the central valley! Would love to meet everyone!

I'm a Canadian who was disappointed that you weren't going to be in Vancouver during the Canadian tour...but is now thrilled to learn that you'll be in San Francisco at the same time I'll be vacationing there! I know that I have plans with friends that evening, but I'll see what I can do about scheduling to possibly attend the Etsy meet-up. I'm not optimistic that I'll have the time, but if I can manage it: Ammmmaaaazing! That being said, I fear that my concerns as a Canadian seller are much different than those of American sellers, and were likely already brought up during the Toronto and Montreal meet-ups.
TheCeremonialHome
By The Way...the big Pro Arts East Bay Open Studios will be in full swing during that time: Week-ends of June 6-7 and June 13-14, 11:00am to 6pm. I am participating, in case anyone would like to see my studio @ 281 Grizzly Peak Blvd., Kensington, Ca.
withlovedesigns
definitely going to be there! can't wait to see everyone!
AchAchLiebling
It looks like I'm going to just miss the event: I'll be flying home to SF from Renegade Bklyn on June 9th and my plane lands at 6pm-- bummer! However, since I'll be in my sunny, Mission studio all the rest of the week, I invite the Etsy crew to stop in and say hi. Get in touch with me for details.
FelixandJayne
that sounds super fun...wish i could come. maybe a tulsa meet up next
underhercharm
I'm moving to San Francisco, but not until June 15th. I'll catch the next one!
ZenGarden
I know you'll have a really good time because San Francisco is so cool and there's always so much to see and do here! I can't make it this time. Come back soon!
CollectionObsession
I thought, just briefly, of catching a plane.
And, once again, may I mention Luhvul (Louisville, KY)?
KisforCalligraphy
Can't wait to meet all ya'll! I'll be there with bells on!
streambound
Wow, it seems allot of Etsy folk are going to be there. How lucky for you all :-)))! My day job will be taking me across the bay to Concord that day but with a 100 mile commute to home. My apologies that I'll be filthy dirty and headed south at about the time of the get together :-( ... You guys have great time.
creativebeadz
BTW, if you have time while you are in SF you might consider seeing the new Georgia O'Keefe/Ansel Adams show that just opened at the SF MOMA (not far from Delcancey Street.
Check it out on-line-you can buy tix before you get there and pick them up at will call. I took my teenage daughter and we both loved it.
MyGrandmasAttic
How cool. After your visit come up north a bit and visit us in Portland!
minniekins
I'll be there but I'll be LATE LATE LATE.
Hopefully not TOO late.
eneefabricdesign
I never received confirmation or an actual invitation, even though I did request it along with an agenda.
TheCeremonialHome
I didn't receive any confirmation either, but we have a plumbing disaster to deal with, ergo: will not be able to attend. Drats!
MadelineMan
It was great to meet everyone tonight! Thank you Etsy team for coming to SF!
lot9press
Dang! I missed you guys. Well, if you happen to drive over the GG Bridge into cow country West Marin, lemme know :)
savor
I met so many great people, and the meeting was fantastic. Great info, I took a lot of notes for my blog!
AlliesAdornments
Great turn out at this meeting!
I feel that Etsy is in very capable hands with Maria who is one smart cookie!
mavenvintage
Thanks guys! Great event...was great to meet and greet with fellow etsians. :)
KisforCalligraphy
It was a great SF meet up! And it was so great to meet new Etsians and see everyone! Thank you to the Etsy management team for being so dedicated, welcoming and friendly. I agree AlliesAdornments, Etsy is in very capable hands!
MyNaturesArt
Was fantastic! Great to meet the people behind Etsy, and hear about the upcoming goodies!
baileybowls
It was worth the trek to SF. Great meeting all the ETSY people. :)
CombustionGlassworks
IT WAS AWESOME!
You cannot beat talking about crafting, our business, hanging with awesome friends (GO CCCOE!!!) and wine!
Maria was great. She didnt try to whitewash anything, was so forward about where the site is going, what is on the priority list, etc.
I left the meeting super pleased, knowing about all the new features in the works to make the buying experience more streamlined and easy!
woot to Etsy and all the radical people I met last night!
kimonomomo
Thank you thank you thank you for putting this together. I was thrilled to meet other sellers, buyers, and the network of individuals working behind the scenes to make everything run as smoothly as possible.
W00T indeed!
Beegrl88
Thanks so much for holding a great event! As a newbie, I really appreciated hearing everyone's thoughts. It was great to meet everyone, too! You guys are my heroes! Like I told Maria, my celebrities. :)
CreativeConceptsDS
It was great to meet everyone! Lots of questions answered.....Thank you Maria and the whole Etsy team for coming to SF!
