<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/authors/marymary/"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/05/maryandrews.jpg" alt="" width="83" height="123" align="right" /></a>Growing up, opening the stocking was always one of my favorite parts of the holidays. It was notoriously crammed full, spilling out the top, and perfectly misshapen from its original form. No matter all the tiny surprises I found inside, I could always rely on a fresh orange and penny hiding underneath to fill out the toe. In my household, holiday stockings have remained a staple, hence my inspiration for today's finds. Celebrate the little things in life with each of the pocket-sized treasures below. For even more ideas to fill your stocking, shop Etsy's <a href="http://www.etsy.com/gift-guides/stocking-stuffers/252">Stocking Stuffers Guide</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong></strong><strong> <h2 style="text-align: center;">For the Kid in All of Us<br /></h2> </strong></p> <p> <table style="text-align: center;" border="0" width="560"> <tbody> <tr> <td>&nbsp;

<p><a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/" target="_blank"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/11/headshot_tara.jpg" alt="headshot_tara.jpg" width="136" height="206" /></a></p> <p>Earlier this fall, I launched a brand new site to make handmade gift giving a little bit easier. <a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/" target="_blank">Scoutie Girl Gifts</a> not only allows you to find beautiful handmade gifts for everyone on your list, it allows you to create your own "gift galleries" to make gift suggestions for visitors!</p> <p>What has been most interesting for me is watching the new gift trends emerge before my very eyes. Even though content comes in from all over the world, I'm seeing some very distinctive trends for this holiday season.</p> <p><strong><br /></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/lets-go-to-the-zoo/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/11/zoo.png" alt="zoo.png" /></a><br /></strong></p> <p>Animals have been hot in the indie craft world for quite some time. Instead of the usual woodland suspects, this year's holiday zoological trend has all sorts of animals roaming around! <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/vividot">ViviDot</a> featured a gallery of beautiful beasts in her gift gallery, <a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/lets-go-to-the-zoo/">Let's Go to the Zoo</a>.</p> <p><strong><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33038101"> </a></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33038101"> <img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/d/ddf/de0/il_430xN.97527240.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="430" /> </a></p> <p style="text-align: left;">I love this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33038101">romper featuring a hippo</a> by <a style="color:#0192b5" href="http://planetpudge.etsy.com">planetpudge</a>. $22.</p> <p><a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/not-your-average-pet/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/11/pet.png" alt="pet.png" /></a></p> <p>More animals were featured by <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/shellieartist">shellieartist</a> in her gift gallery, <a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/not-your-average-pet" target="_blank">Not Your Average Pet</a>.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34593971"> <img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/5/5a0/531/il_430xN.102780199.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="430" /> </a></p> <p>There's also a great <a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/lets-go-to-the-zoo/shizendesigns/">baby koala necklace</a> by <a style="color:#0192b5" href="http://shizendesigns.etsy.com">shizendesigns</a>. $23.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24936203"> <img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/a/a06/41d/il_430xN.70348111.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="430" /> </a></p> <p>How about this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_gallery_6&amp;listing_id=24936203">badger cameo illustration</a> by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/blackoutwell">blackoutwell</a>? On a side note &mdash; illustration seems to be a hot gift idea too! $18.</p> <p><a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/aqua-skies-snowflakes/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/11/Picture_34.png" alt="Picture_34.png" /></a></p> <p>Soft, feminine shades of aqua, pink, violet and grey have also been very popular. Lesley from <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/smidgebox">smidgebox</a> put together a beautiful gallery inspired by <a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/aqua-skies-snowflakes/">aqua skies + snowflakes</a>.</p> <p><strong><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27410842"> </a></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27410842"> <img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/0/024/544/il_430xN.78637222.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="430" /> </a></p> <p>I adore these <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27410842">textile bead earrings</a> from <a style="color:#0192b5" href="http://frillsandfray.etsy.com">frillsandfray</a>. They're made from a recycled t-shirt in soft green and yellow. I actually have a similar pair &mdash; love! $19.</p> <p><a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/into-the-forest/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/11/forest.png" alt="" /></a></p> <p>If you miss green grass, blue skies, and beds of blooming flowers, you're in luck: bringing the outdoors in is hot this holiday season! Kimberly from <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/createlovelaugh">createlovelaugh</a> created a popular gift gallery called <a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/into-the-forest">Into the Forest</a>. It's focused on moss greens: terrariums, pots of moss, faux moss, and accessories inspired by moss.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15768537"> </a></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15768537"> <img style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com//il_430xN.39793008.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="430" height="286" /> </a></p> <p>This <a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/into-the-forest/mlwdesigns">green rose ring</a> by <a style="color:#0192b5" href="http://mlwdesigns.etsy.com">mlwdesigns</a> reminds me of a little succulent plant. It's a great way to wear spring on your finger all year long! At only $9, it makes a great gift for a friend or coworker.</p> <p><a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/for-the-naturalist" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/11/naturalist.png" alt="naturalist.png" /></a></p> <p>Another curator thinking about all things natural is Diana from <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/dsbrennan">dsbrennan</a>. Her gift gallery, <a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/for-the-naturalist">For the Naturalist</a>, features more mossy greens and browns.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31249492"> <img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/7/769/c60/il_430xN.91524406.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="430" /> </a></p> <p>These <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31249492">wrist warmers</a> would be a perfect gift for someone who doesn't let cold weather stop them from enjoying a hike!

Art may not be the first thought when choosing a gift, but it's perfect for newlyweds, teenagers looking to spruce up their space, or anyone who doesn't need another "thing" lying around! Art always makes a statement and can be a very personal and emotion-filled gift.</p> <p>Brittni from <a href="http://papernstitch.com/" target="_blank">papernstich</a> put together this gift gallery of <a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/affordable-art-for-everyone/">affordable art for everyone</a>, including traditional art pieces, illustration, photography, and even a little sculpture fit for hanging on your wall.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34132347"> <img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/7/71a/11e/il_430xN.101220851.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="430" /> </a></p> <p>I especially love <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34132347">this photograph</a> by <a style="color:#0192b5" href="http://simplyhue.etsy.com">simplyhue</a>. $18.</p> <p><a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/natural-toys-for-natural-kids/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/11/Picture_41.png" alt="Picture_41.png" /></a></p> <p>If you've got kids on your shopping list, handmade is the way to go! <a href="http://bit.ly/2zxJwv">Etsy sellers take special care to exclude harmful ingredients</a> and include only the finest of what Mother Nature has to offer.</p> <p>Sara from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/busterandboo">busterandboo</a> put together a gift gallery of <a href="http://scoutiegirlgifts.com/natural-toys-for-natural-kids/">natural kids' options</a>.

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/etsylabs/3947751163/in/set-72157622316088349" target="_blank"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/10/coolmompicks_twinmaker.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="354" /></a>We got <a href="http://www.coolmompicks.com/" target="_blank">CoolMomPicks</a> in the twin-maker at Etsy Labs! A visit from these bloggers was a special treat, considering that they come from near and far. Liz Gumbinner is in our neighborhood here in Brooklyn, while Kristen Chase lives in Atlanta, GA. The two met online while posting to their individual parenting blogs. After a certain synergy (and a name change from the former CoolMomSh*t blog), <a href="http://www.coolmompicks.com/" target="_blank">CoolMomPicks</a> was born &mdash; one of our favorite blogs featuring reviews of gear for children and moms. Liz and Kristen are staying true to their roots: passion for supporting indie businesses and bringing excellent design to a wider audience.</p> <p>Liz and Kristen's moms were both crafty and that has informed these bloggers' roots in craftsmanship, unique designs and independent entrepreneurship. When the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/tags/CPSIA/">CPSIA controversy</a> hit, CoolMomPicks put up a <a href="http://coolmompicks.com/savehandmade/" target="_blank">special page of resources</a>, which was key in informing many of their readers about the issue. Liz and Kristen both spoke to us about the importance for crafters and artists to take pride in their work &mdash; from the safety of children's items to clear, beautiful item photography.</p> <p>We here at Etsy admire their strong opinions and their dedication to high quality. This must be why their readers trust them &mdash; in addition to their good taste. For me personally, it's always fun to meet internet friends face-to-face for the first time &mdash; especially when they have interesting jewelry! Liz and Kristen really do put the "cool" in CoolMomPicks.</p> <p>After simultaneously barraging these two bloggers with questions while giving them a tour of our office, we talked over lunch about the handmade movement and blogging. Here's a bit more from our chat and a follow-up interview we did with Kristen and Liz:</p> <p><strong>Can you give bloggers a tip as to how you built your audience?</strong><br />It really started virally &mdash; we were already in the parent blogging community, so we reached out to friends and colleagues to tell them about this blog we started, and it just sort of took off from there. We don't do any advertising. But we do have relationships with like-minded websites and publications (like The Storque!) and love linking to those we think are doing great things. It's good karma, it often comes back to us, and there's more than enough bandwidth to go around for all of us.<br />&nbsp;<br />And while we realize what we do won't appeal to every single person out there, we do really work hard to find items for a broad range of people, from the frugalistas to the celeb-obsessed designer diaper bag whores (heh). We also try and pay attention to the needs of more diverse families, single moms, or adoptive parents. But in the end, we just feature the things we love ourselves, and we think that being picky has created the kind of trust that keeps our readers coming back. It's something we value greatly and take very seriously.</p> <p><strong>What other blogs do you enjoy?</strong><br /><em>Kristen</em>: For as much as I complain about not being a crafter, I'm obsessed with crafty design blogs like <a href="http://Makeandtakes.com" target="_blank">Makeandtakes.com</a> and <a href="http://Designmom.com" target="_blank">Designmom.com</a>. They inspire me to do more than the noodle necklaces with my kids.<br /><br /><em>Liz</em>: For some reason I'm a sucker for guys' gear blogs like <a href="http://www.uncrate.com/" target="_blank">Uncrate</a>, and especially <a href="http://DaddyTypes.com" target="_blank">DaddyTypes.com</a> which is the first blog I ever read. He drops all these fabulously arcane references to mid-century modern paint colors or whatever and makes me feel stupid. I love it.</p> <p><strong>What first showed you that you had a growing audience? A surprising spike in traffic from one of your posts, a link or praise from a better-known blog?</strong><br />Fairly early on, a wonderful artist we featured named Michelle Caplan, a.k.a. <a href="http://mcaplan.etsy.com">mcaplan.etsy.com</a>, told us that right after her review went up, <em><a href="http://www.realsimple.com/" target="_blank">Real Simple</a></em> called. Then another shop told us that a producer from <em><a href="http://theview.abc.go.com/" target="_blank">The View</a></em> called after seeing the feature on her. We were like, "Wow &mdash; so now we know it's not just bloggers reading us." Soon after, <em>Real Simple</em> featured us as one of their favorite three parenting blogs, which definitely gave us a lot of legitimacy. (Thanks, <em>Real Simple</em>!)<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>Any new initiatives on the horizon? <a href="http://coolmompicks.com/alphamom/" target="_blank">TV deals</a>?</strong><br />We have a ton of exciting initiatives on the horizon &mdash; you'll just have to wait and see. [Cue evil laugh.]<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>How many people are working for you now?</strong><br />The site really wouldn't be possible without the help of our invaluable <a href="http://coolmompicks.com/about.php" target="_blank">staff</a>. We've got an amazing associate editor, Christina Refford, our head of ad sales and all around CMP VIP Julie Marsh, plus seven phenomenal contributors, a great designer, and some tech folks who all make us look good every day. But our dream is to have a person solely dedicated to giving us all foot massages all day. That's when we'll know we've really made it.<br /><br /><strong>What have you learned about your readers? Do you notice any traffic patterns? Times of day or days of the week or seasons for moms online?</strong><br />We definitely see big spikes around gift-giving holidays like Mothers Day, Fathers Day and Christmas. Also back-to-school shopping time is huge. Flag Day, not so much. At the beginning of this year we launched our first <a href="http://coolmompicks.com/babyshowergifts09/" target="_blank">Ultimate Baby Shower Gift Guide</a> (which included a lot of Etsians), and it was hugely successful so I'm sure we'll be doing it again. People have babies all year long, it seems. Go figure.</p> <p><strong>We spoke a bit about good product photography and well-made items. Kristen remarked how beautiful, well-designed packaging is part of the experience of buying handmade or vintage. It adds to the allure and specialness of unique items. <br /></strong></p> <p><strong>Any other tips for sellers who want to submit their items?</strong><br />We love when Etsians submit items for editorial consideration on our site, because our heart is always with handmade and small businesses. Here's a few things that help (besides the great photographs, which can literally make or break your pitch):<br />&nbsp;<br />1. Make sure you read our blog and get a sense of what we do and don't feature. We try to make it pretty clear.<br />2. Tell us your story in a few brief sentences. We love to know how you came to make and sell your items.<br />3. Send us a few links to your items&nbsp; &mdash; skip the 300 jpg attachments.<br />4. We can't help it but we love emails with personality. No need to be formal and write "Dear Ms. Chase and Ms. Gumbinner..." We're not captains of industry. Just bloggers.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Thanks, Liz and Kristen! </strong></p>

2009-10-19T16:45:00-05:00littlealouette, marymaryhttp://www.etsy.com/storque/spotlight/quit-your-day-job-littlealouette-5583/

<p><em>Joe and Amy of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5645113">littlealouette</a> are successfully supporting their family selling their simple natural wooden toys on Etsy. With backgrounds in carpentry, furniture making, education, and politics, this duo melded their collective skills into a business they never dreamed would take them this far. They both admit being their own boss is the toughest work they have known, but find balance in taking time out from work each day to spend quality time together with their children. Keep reading to find out why Joe misses his daily lunch outings at bistros and pubs and why they both claim a British accent and wicked grin have been one of their best marketing tools to date.</em><br /> <br /><strong> How did you originally get into the business of making things? </strong><br />Joe is a master craftsman who apprenticed in the North of England where he grew up. He became a self-employed bespoke furniture maker. When he moved to the states he worked in carpentry. I worked in education and politics after university, but always found myself spending time on artistic projects and volunteering in local art charities or working with local arts councils. Joe made me furniture and I would create gifts for family and friends. I would write poetry about Joe&rsquo;s hands and what they could make. I still do. Joe began making simple toys for our first child and the rest is history.<br /><br /><strong>When you first started selling on Etsy, did you have dreams or goals of eventually quitting your day job?</strong><br /> Not really. We thought it would be extra money for our family; we were in the middle of a very hard financial time as we juggled two mortgages while trying to sell an investment property in a very still market here in Ohio. We knew that our family and friends loved what we were making for our kids and for others so we thought we would make some money, but never did we realize that we would make a whole new life.<br /><br /><strong>Did you do anything to prepare ahead of time?</strong><br />Always adapting and growing, it has been an organic process and a juggling act with two small boys and a passionate marriage. While it's been quite fluid, we have learned that sometimes you just have to roll with it. It requires loads of paperwork and time, so planning ahead is important. We stepped down our spending and live with frugality and perseverance. Lastly, asking for advice and help was and is so important!</p> <ul> </ul> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5645113"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/10/lajoe.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /><strong>What are the most effective ways you have promoted and marketed your Etsy business? </strong><br />I am a blogger and this has helped me a lot with meeting others and spreading the word. We have a Twitter account (<a href="http://twitter.com/littlealouette" target="_blank">@littlealouette)</a> and a cool <a href="http://littlealouetteblog.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Tumblr blog</a> for Little Alouette with daily parenting tips and inspiration (we are always looking for guest parents)! We have a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/little-alouette/125608280863" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> and I have a big mouth! Joe is not a big Internet individual. He has a smart phone and sometimes uses Facebook, but he relies on me to work the magic on the Internet. He carries a stack of business cards, his British accent, and a wicked grin. We get a lot of sales from him. I like to work with other bloggers for giveaways from time to time and there are a lot of really great blogs and sites you can advertise on to find your audience. Etsy has been incredibly helpful with the light it has shined on us. The whole world is in love with Etsy and it is amazing to be a part of this family of artists.</p> <p><strong>What have you found to be unsuccessful promotion?</strong><br />We came up with an idea of keys and key sets that we named after a great customer's daughter. The keys were a big hit! You know how babies and kids love to play with and chew on your keys? Well, we also thought that kids love other everyday items like remote controls &mdash; so we made a remote control rattle and no one bought one. We may try again in the future for some everyday life items. You have to try things!</p> <p><strong>What's your best marketing tip?</strong></p> <ul> <li>Believe in yourself.</li> <li>Know that you are amazing and groovy and smashing!&nbsp;</li> <li>Be able to talk about your business freely and with anyone.</li> <li>Changing up photos and keeping the shop full works well for us!</li> <li>We like to offer our customers free shipping and codes and deals.&nbsp;</li> <li>I think <a href="http://twitter.com/" target="_blank">Twitter</a> is excellent for this type of promotion, but just try and remember that Twitter is a give and take and it is a great place to interact and get to know your customers &mdash; not just a place to hawk your wares.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Walk us through your typical workday.</strong><br />Most days are different &mdash; some days in the indie life are diamonds and some are not. Yesterday was like this:</p> <ul> <li>6:30 a.m.: Blaise, our two-year-old screamed, "Mama! Mama!" for about ten minutes until we brought him into our bed. We woke up Finn, our five-year-old, and had breakfast and the first of several pots of coffee together. We walked Finn to half-day kindergarten and then we all went off to the gym for an hour. We played with Blaise after a good stress-relieving workout until time to collect Finn from school.&nbsp;</li> <li>We had lunch as a family and then Daddy went to the workshop. The kiddos had naps and I worked on Little Alouette.&nbsp;</li> <li>I talked to people all over the world, mailed samples, answered emails and Convos, and worked on new packaging.&nbsp;</li> <li>I made a cake while doing this all. I love working from home!&nbsp;</li> <li>The kids got up and I took off the Wood Queen crown and became Mom again. I rolled to the playground and then to the post office and then hosted a play date at our house. I used my BlackBerry to relist some items and chat with customers. I taught my children about Jackson Pollock. I sketched a new toy while the kids went down the slide.&nbsp;</li> <li>One thing that is constant is that when Joe comes home from work in the evening, we are diligent about putting the work away. The kids get us all. They get the attention and energy and everything. When they go to bed we must work more and it takes a lot of effort, but we must if we want to keep this balance. We do not have TV. This is a big help!</li> </ul> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5645113"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/10/lafam.jpg" alt="" /></a></p> <p><strong>What do you enjoy most about not having a day job? Is there anything you miss?</strong><br />My family has eaten most meals together in the last two years. This is amazing. When we both worked outside the home it was rare that I got home before 7 p.m. We ate in shifts and smashed quality time into 1.5 hours. I missed some milestones of my oldest son. I rushed. My husband drove far too fast in his truck. We raced through life. Now we are slower. More deliberate. This is important. The way it feels to just go to the park on a Wednesday at 2 p.m. with my whole family. The freedom to schedule out a day that works for you is exhilarating. The way it feels to know that we are instilling hard work values and an entrepreneurial spirit into our children. We are showing them that even in the middle of your life, you can change gears and do something that makes you feel good. You can follow dreams big or small. Telling strangers about Little Alouette feels stellar!<br /><br />I miss tons of people and the energy all around me. I worked with so many people in my old career. I miss adult interaction. I often find myself discussing new ideas and wholesale accounts with my five-year-old. He looks at me funny. Joe says he misses lunching out at bistros and pubs. I make him eat healthy lunches at home now. We miss our old insurance. But nothing can take away the reality of being with each other so much. It is gorgeous.<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5645113"><img style="float: left;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/10/lafaces.jpg" alt="" width="262" height="395" /></a></p> <p><strong>What's the hardest part about running your own business?</strong><br />Heavy shoulders. The paperwork and responsibility that come with this lifestyle are quite hefty. Organization is a sick and dirty word for me. We are learning to keep receipts and may even graduate to a file system this winter! We never stop working. The fatigue is tough at times. No one tells you to stop. You may not sleep properly.</p> <p><br /><strong>If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself? What advice would you give someone else?</strong><br />Listen to advice and take it! My pal took me out for drinks last fall and told me my business was going to take off and I should get myself in order. I remember laughing about it then, but it has taken off. Be ready for what you want because you may well get it! Find <a href="http://areyoubrilliant.com" target="_blank">good business folks like cool insurance agents</a>, lawyers, and smart fellow artist mentors. Surround yourself with goodness. Stay in the light. Be kind and open. When times get tricky, keep focused and believe. Be happy and optimistic and acknowledge that you are lucky to be making art and living off of it in these bleak times.<br /><br /><strong>What goals do you wish to accomplish in the coming year for your Etsy business?</strong></p> <ul> <li>Work on loads of new ideas and toys.</li> <li>Grow the business.&nbsp;</li> <li>Perhaps gain an employee.</li> <li>Keep babies happy throughout the world.&nbsp;</li> <li>Meet more cool Etsy folk in real life.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Is there anything else you'd like to share?</strong><br />Thank you so much to Etsy and our customers. We are so blessed and we thank you! We love you! Smooches.<em><strong> </strong>Each product is made by hand and usually all the wood is surrounded by cups of tea, laughing children, and disco music so each product will come to you infused with love and bliss!</em></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5645113"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/10/lafamily2.jpg" alt="" width="568" height="378" /></a></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse;"> <div> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Thanks to Amy and Joe</em><em> for sharing their story.&nbsp; </em><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse;"><em>Have your own questions to ask?

Growing up with absolutely no handmade experience, as an adult she began the slow process of trying to get back to the basics. She dreams of one day being accomplished in everything from cooking great meals from scratch to sewing clothing her kids are proud to wear. She particularly loves making gifts by hand. Last Christmas it was homemade Amaretto to go with her husband's <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_query=truffle&amp;order=most_relevant&amp;ship_to=&amp;filter[0]=handmade&amp;filter[1]=plants_and_edibles">homemade truffles</a>. This year they are considering orangettes and French macaroons.</em><br /><br />Here are my current Etsy favorites &mdash; all the types of things I would put on my blog on any given day: things that are beautiful, simple, and quality with good design.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24396259">Gold Woodgrain Band </a></strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24396259"> <img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/9/976/577/il_430xN.68532217.jpg" border="0" alt="" /> </a></p> <p>Faux bois has definitely been having its (second) moment in the sun and I am loving it. <a style="color:#0192b5" href="http://fisforfrank.etsy.com">fisforfrank</a> has done a great job of combining two of my favorites aesthetics &mdash; earthy with modern glam.

2009-09-28T17:00:00-05:00paperdreams, Vanessahttp://www.etsy.com/storque/craftivism/cpsia-overcoming-obstacles-and-fighting-for-change-5350/

<p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"><em><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/ceciliaheadshot.jpg" alt="" />The <a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/ABOUT/Cpsia/cpsia.HTML" target="_blank">Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA)</a> was passed just over a year ago, and since a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/craftivism/breaking-news-the-cpsia-mandatory-testing-certification-prop-3347/">stay was put in place</a> in February, Etsy makers of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/category/children">children</a>'s items have kept the conversation going on the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/forums_board.php?forum_id=5000002">special Etsy Forum</a>. From <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203706604574370712943409146.html" target="_blank">major newspapers</a> to the blogosphere, from mom and pop stores to multi-national corporations, the CPSIA has continued to provoke confusion and ire. We invited Cecilia Leibovitz, a.k.a. <a href="http://paperdreams.etsy.com">paperdreams</a>, to give us an update on the state of affairs. Cecelia is not only the </em><em>founder of <a href="http://craftsburykids.com/" target="_blank">craftsburykids.com</a>, a shop specializing in unique handmade toys and gifts for children</em><em> &mdash; she is also President of the <a href="http://www.handmadetoyalliance.org/" target="_blank">Handmade Toy Alliance</a>, a grassroots organization advocating for makers of small batch children's products. </em></p> <p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">Many who produce small batch items for children are well aware of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). You may already know that fabric has been exempted from CPSIA and that crafters are not necessarily required to label their items, but must keep an accurate record system in place in the event of a possible recall. There are very specific stipulations that go along with these exemptions (for example a screen printed T-shirt would not be exempt due to the inks used in this process). I urge you to take a look at the pages linked below for more information.</p> <p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">While many are breathing a sigh of relief now that fabric is exempt from CPSIA, more is needed. Dan Marshall, founder and Vice President of the <a href="http://www.handmadetoyalliance.org" target="_blank">Handmade Toy Alliance</a> is concerned that while fabric used in a hair bow is exempt, the barrette itself is not, along with zippers, snaps, buttons, etc. used in clothing. <br /><br />Painted items are not exempt from CPSIA, nor are they part of the one year stay that expires on February 10, 2010. If component testing is not allowed, it will be indefinitely illegal to produce painted items for children without third party testing, <a href="http://www.change.org/ideas/4203/view_blog/mattel_gets_a_hall_pass" target="_blank">unless of course you&rsquo;re Mattel</a>. The Handmade Toy Alliance has been a strong advocate for component based testing, as the organization recognizes how crucial this point is for crafters and micro businesses, if we are all to survive.<br /><br />Certain components contain lead that is bound into their structure, and thus not biologically available, even when swallowed. Crystals, some rhinestones and other glass embellishments fall into this category. <br /><br />In July 2009 the <a href="http://www.fjta.org/" target="_blank">Fashion Jewelry Trade Association</a> (FJTA) requested an exemption from the CPSIA lead limits for crystal and glass embellishments. This request was denied by the <a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/" target="_blank">Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)</a> in spite of the fact that test data and analysis were presented, showing that ingestion and mouthing of leaded crystal would result in absorption of so small a quantity of lead that it may not even be detectable in a child&rsquo;s blood stream. <br /><br />According to CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum, denial of the FJTA&rsquo;s request was due to CPSIA language, which states that the possibility of *any* (without specification of whether the amount must be determined harmful or not) ingestion of lead renders an item unacceptable under CPSIA standards. In an official CPSC statement, Tenenbaum said that &ldquo;...while Commission staff recognized that most crystal and glass beads do not appear to pose a serious health risk to children, because ingested crystal beads that leach lead will result in some lead absorption, the request for an exclusion must be denied.&rdquo;<br /><br />At this point, various distributors claim to offer low lead and lead-free crystals and rhinestones. If you are using these items on products for children, you will want to be sure they truly comply with the law.<br /><br />&ldquo;The test data I&rsquo;ve seen for these alternative rhinestone products is based on modified EPA Method 3051,&rdquo; says Sheila Milar, a partner with Keller and Heckman LLP and counsel to the Fashion Jewelry Trade Association. CPSC specifies use of modified EPA Method 3052 to test crystal and glass. Method 3052 uses hydrofluoric acid in the solution to digest crystal, which can&rsquo;t be completely digested using hydrochloric acid.&rdquo; Ms. Milar added, &ldquo;Many laboratories will not handle hydrofluoric acid and the fact that such a strong and dangerous acid is required to fully digest crystal and glass is another indication of how lead is bound into the structure of the material.&rdquo; It is still not clear whether test results based on Method 3051 would be acceptable, and the jewelry industry is seeking clarification.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">Heather Flottman, a board member of the Handmade Toy Alliance and owner of children&rsquo;s clothing label&nbsp; <a href="http://www.liliputians-nyc.com/" target="_blank">Liliputians NYC</a>, hasn&rsquo;t let stringent regulations stop her from creating and selling her work. &ldquo;I use some flat back buttons that look like jewels. I XRF tested them and they came in less than 10ppm for lead,&rdquo; says Heather. <br /><br />&ldquo;There are safe alternatives to the classic Swarovski crystal out there. People do not have to give up nor do they need to report every sparkly thing they see to CPSC,&rdquo; adds Heather. She uses plastic button eyes for her appliqu&eacute;s, has certification from the manufacturer that they are lead free, and XRF tested them herself just to be sure. <br /><br />If as the CPSC has alluded to, component testing is allowed in the near future, items like Heather Flottman&rsquo;s buttons will be tested by the manufacturer, and it will be affordable and easy for crafters to use them. In the event that this doesn&rsquo;t happen, Heather says she will switch to buttons made of natural materials exempt from CPSIA, such as unpainted wood and shell.</p> <p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">As we move forward, let&rsquo;s work together to fix the CPSIA, as well as network and find creative ways to navigate the law. Now more than ever, it is of the utmost importance that we do not turn against each other.<br /><br /><strong>Further Resources:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Join the HTA to effect change in the CPSIA &mdash; <a href="http://www.handmadetoyalliance.org/" target="_blank">http://www.handmadetoyalliance.org</a></li> <li>Explaining the facts and dispelling the myths about the CPSIA &mdash; <a href="http://www.whatiscpsia.com/" target="_blank">http://www.whatiscpsia.com</a></li> <li>Official CPSIA Website &mdash; <a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/cpsia.html" target="_blank">http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/cpsia.html</a></li> <li>Tracking Label Policy (Number 9 refers specifically to crafters) &mdash; <a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/sect103policy.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/sect103policy.pdf</a></li> </ul> <p style="text-align: center;"><br /><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/forums_board.php?forum_id=5000002">Check out the CPSIA Forums for More Discussion</a><br /></strong></p>

2009-09-14T15:25:00-05:00PoshDots, Vanessahttp://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/my-big-break-posh-dots-licensing-deal-4648/

<p><em><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/poshdotsdaughter.jpg" alt="" width="196" height="234" />Every now and again I hear about Etsy sellers who have scored licensing deals. One such seller is Becky from <a href="http://PoshDots.etsy.com">PoshDots</a>, teacher, artist and mother of three, who was kind enough to take time away from her very</em><em> busy schedule to do an interview with me. She describes how the company approached her and struck a deal to have her design for her children's item manufactured.<br /></em></p> <p><strong>Hi Becky! </strong><strong>First off, how do you handle your shop, your kids, your teaching job and the licensing deal? Any time management tips?</strong><br />I fly by the seat of my pants. With three kids, a schedule is worthless. I don't know from one minute to the next what challenge will face me. The last time I had the house to myself, the phone rang. My oldest had caught a softball in his mouth, and his lip was mashed into his braces (which were put on that same day!). We ended up in the ER. There is always drama here!</p> <p style="text-align: right;"><em>Becky with her daughter.</em></p> <p><strong>Tell us about your items and describe your licensing deal.</strong><br />Posh Dots specializes in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results_shop.php?search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_5507799&amp;search_query=letters">handpainted wooden letters</a> and matching accessories. The bulk of my business comes from the letters. The licensing company, <a href="http://www.dishandspoonproductions.com/" target="_blank">Dish &amp; Spoon Productions</a>, will use many of my designs on a variety of children's products, including canvas wall hangings, growth charts, night lights, and name banners, to name a few.</p> <p><br /><strong>How did the company find you?</strong><br />I asked them the same thing! They found me right here on Etsy. The company has a staff member who seeks out new, fresh artwork. They contacted me several months ago with the proposal, and I was shocked. Considering all of the wonderful talent here and the fact that they only add two artists per year, I feel like the needle in the haystack!<br /><br /><strong>What's the appeal of doing a licensing deal? </strong><br />The biggest appeal is knowing that someone really appreciated my work enough to want to reproduce it. It is truly an honor. With three young children and teaching full time, my painting hours are very limited. With this opportunity, more children can enjoy my work.<br /><br /><strong>How did Etsy play a role in what has happened? Do you have any suggestions for other ways Etsy could help?</strong><br />I would say Etsy played a huge role. I doubt I would have been "discovered" without having my shop here. Maybe offer suggestions for legal counseling or finding an agent?<br /><br /><strong>Had you done any wholesale orders before?</strong><br />I have not done any other wholesale orders. I am approached weekly by boutique owners wanting to carry my letters, but I am so overwhelemed with business from my own shop that I have turned them all down. I am currently in the process of developing a few new products that will be available for wholesale. The products designed by Dish &amp; Spoon Productions will also be available wholesale.<br /><br /><strong>Did you do any research or can you link us to any information that helped inform your decision to say yes to the deal?</strong><br />I have two books that have lots of good info: <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1880559277?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=etsy-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1880559277" target="_blank">Licensing Art and Design: A Professional's Guide to Licensing and Royalty Agreements</a></em><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=etsy-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1880559277" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> and <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0940899841?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=etsy-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0940899841" target="_blank">Licensing Art 101, Third Edition: Publishing and Licensing Your Artwork for Profit</a></em><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=etsy-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0940899841" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />. I knew what red flags to look for. Talking with other Etsians was also very helpful. The contract was very simple and exactly what I expected. I did not go through a lawyer, but if things continue to grow, I will. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/poshdotsstudio.jpg" alt="" /><strong></strong></p> <p style="text-align: right;"><em>Becky's home studio.</em></p> <p><strong>What are your plans for your Etsy shop? Will you now use it to sell your handmade prototypes or more limited run (handmade by you) items? Will you use Etsy a place to continue to experiment with new products?</strong><br />Right now, I am planning on taking the shop in a slightly new direction. I want to add more ready-to-ship items and personalized items that are less time consuming. I also want to move towards more teen and adult designs. I've considered canvas reproductions, but I don't want to compete with myself and the products made by D&amp;S! My wheels are always turning...so keep an eye out for new and exciting products. And possibly a new shop with a totally different line of products.<br /><br /><strong>Do you have any advice for sellers who are interested in getting licensing deals?</strong><br />I wish I had some great words of wisdom on how to land a licensing deal, but this came out of nowhere. I had considered hiring an agent, but never did. If you are serious about getting your work reproduced, that may be an avenue. If, like me, you want to leave it in the hands of fate, keep your work fresh and exciting. Take great pics and set up a shop that is cohesive. KISS: Keep it simple, stupid!<br /><br />If possible, get a small advance in royalties. As of now, I've put several hundred hours into creating sample pieces and have seen nothing in return. I knew what to expect from the beginning, but it's tough staying motivated. I know I need to be patient... It will pay off!<br /><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/poshdotspainting.jpg" alt="" /><br /><strong></strong></p> <p style="text-align: right;"><em>Becky hard at work.</em></p> <p><strong>Do you think there's something about your item that lends itself to a licensing deal?</strong><br />My work is very colorful and fun. The designs are simple, clean and fresh. I love mixing patterns, which seems to be a hot concept right now. <br /><br /><strong>What stage of the process are you in now? How does it feel?</strong><br />Right now, everything is still in the production stage. I have not seen any of the final pieces yet. I'm very anxious to see what they are doing with my work. D&amp;S is preparing to launch the products in September at the <a href="http://www.theabcshow.com/" target="_blank">ABC Kids Expo</a> in Las Vegas. I will have something final soon.<br /><br /><strong>Do you get credited on the final packaging of the items the company sells?</strong><br />Yes, my signature, BSBowen, will be on all of the products. That's very exciting!</p> <p><strong>What is important about "handmade" for you and your business? </strong><br />With my business being custom work, I feel it must be handmade. Painting is my passion. If I couldn't be working with my hands and mind, I would go crazy! This business allows me to do both and to create something truly unique for my clients. I've often asked in the Etsy Forums about pricing, time management, etc., and many will offer advice on how to change my product line by offering more ready-made items. But, somehow ready-made and custom just don't work together in my mind. I love the design process, working directly with the buyer and creating something just for them. <br /><br /><strong>Was there anything in the contract that you felt strongly about and made a point of negotiating? or if it hadn't been in the contract, you would have pushed for it?</strong><br />I wanted to able to have the final word on the products, and I wanted to have my signature on my pieces. I also wanted to maintain copyrights to my designs. It was all in there exactly as I wished.<br /><br /><strong>Were you concerned as to whether this was legit? did you have anyone review the licensing contract? </strong><br />There were a few times when I wondered what I had gotten into! But, after many conversations with the owner and seeing their products on several top ranking sites featuring children's products, I feel good about the decision. My very cautious husband reviewed the contract. <br /><br /><strong>Can you share with us any highlights or how much more money in proportion to your income? (No worries if this is too personal!)</strong><br />It may not seem like much in California or New York, but in the backwoods of Virginia, the estimate they gave me is huge. If the estimate turns out to be correct, it will top my teaching salary...not bad.<br /><br /><strong>What does this licensing deal mean for your business?</strong><br />I don't know yet! It has the potential of surpassing my teaching salary. (Of course, that won't be hard to do!) But, I have quite a wish list:<br /><br />1) Operate Posh Dots full time<br />2) Put on an addition to our home<br />3) Travel<br />4) Save<br />5) Use extra income to start up another business <br /> (I am always dreaming up ideas for new products &mdash; some handmade, some mass produced.)<br /><br />My biggest dream...buy a beach house!<br /><br />I may have to pick just one from this list.</p> <p><em>Posh Dots, we here at Etsy wish you luck and will continue to watch for your latest items!

This week's <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/get-the-look-decor">Get the Look: Decor</a> is inspired by the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mysunsetroad/sets/72157600135117299/" target="_blank">Filer-Dougal family</a>, who have created a home that doubles as an inspiring educational space for their two children. From reading nooks to nature cabinets, the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mysunsetroad/sets/72157600135117299/" target="_blank">Filer-Dougal home</a> is filled with everything needed to stimulate a child's active imagination. Though the atmosphere is decidedly child-friendly, there is a sophisticated balance of modern design and antique treasures that any grown-up would be happy to call home.<br /><br />Between <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mysunsetroad/sets/72157603746664477/" target="_blank">homeschooling</a> two children and taking care of a pug, two parakeets, nine fish and 10,000 snails, mother Courtney also manages to find time to create a beautiful line of jewelry, which she sells on Etsy under the name <a title="eva666.etsy.com" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=1542">Eva666</a>. Her home studio is a relaxing, well organized retreat where she can briefly escape the often chaotic life that comes with raising two children (who sometimes sell their handmade goodies at <a

<p><em>Nick and Kimber, the mother and father team behind <a href="http://LittleSaplingToys.etsy.com">littlesaplingtoys</a>, have managed to quit both their regular day jobs and support themselves, along with their two children, due to their business success on Etsy. They've been selling their wooden toys on Etsy for just under two years. With previous careers in historical preservation and insurance companies, both Nick and Kimber took their time planning and saving for their transition into a full-time small business. Read on to hear their answers to our <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/tags/Quit%20Your%20Day%20Job">Quit Your Day Job</a></em><em> questions &mdash; they talk about the steps they took to plan out their venture and which marketing tips have worked best for their business along the way.</em><br /><br /><em></em><strong> How did you originally get into the business of making things? </strong><br /><em>Nick:</em> It began as an innocent obsession with Lego bricks. I loved building anything my imagination came up with. As I got older, things evolved with me. It wasn&rsquo;t until I worked at a woodworking store that I really came to see the beauty of wood. I love every piece of wood: the way the grain flows, the color, the way that it transforms when it&rsquo;s finished. My first woodworking project was a 2&rsquo; x 2&rsquo; butcher block for our second anniversary. I never get sick of looking at and refinishing it.<br /><br /><em>Kimber:</em> For me, true creative delight is in my mind. I love ideas, brainstorming, scribbling, discussing and sketching with a batch of stove-top popcorn. As a child, I collaborated with my lil&rsquo; brother to design a computer game that my dad agreed to program. I wrote a song with a friend consisting of the lyrics &ldquo;Oh Baby&rdquo; and dreamed about the day it would hit the radio. I started a business from my Trapper Keeper observing my peers on the playground and then selling the information I collected. I made <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarissa_Explains_It_All" target="_blank">Clarissa Explains It All</a> inspired jewelry and sold it at my mom&rsquo;s craft show tables. I collected flowers and berries to crush on a cement barrier to make perfume. I wrote for my high school and junior college paper, selling my personal humiliation for laughs. I&rsquo;ve taken on baking, sewing, gardening, woodworking, and countless other endeavors because I love a good idea. <br /><a href="http://LittleSaplingToys.etsy.com"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/saplingshop.jpg" alt="" width="524" height="356" /></a><br /><strong>When you first started selling on Etsy, did you have dreams or goals of eventually quitting your day job?</strong><br />We were living above a chocolate shop in Old Town Eureka, CA while Nick worked for <a href="http://www.crestmarkam.com" target="_blank">Crestmark Architectural Millwork</a> and studied Historical Preservation and Restoration. I decided to go to school after Rex was born instead of returning to the insurance office where I previously worked. Everything changed when we received an invitation to caretake a house with a shop for two years. During that time we each attended school, started <a href="http://LittleSaplingToys.etsy.com">Little Sapling Toys</a>, had a second baby and finally moved to a different state. Everything happened so fast that it&rsquo;s hard to remember just what we expected. Our goal was for <a href="http://LittleSaplingToys.etsy.com">Little Sapling Toys</a> to be successful, but we didn&rsquo;t expect Etsy to be the sole reason for making it so.<br /><br /><strong>Did you do anything to prepare ahead of time?</strong><br />The most important things we did:</p> <ul> <li>Economize &mdash; We projected our income and started to live on that amount. This helped us to save a bit of money for the initial jump. Our budget is limited and we assess wants and needs thoroughly.</li> <li>Trial &mdash; On days off from school and the office, we worked full-time schedules to test our capabilities. It&rsquo;s important to know your production potential. This helped us to see if our plans would be sustainable and to streamline processes.&nbsp;</li> <li>Education &mdash; We took all of the free classes at the local Small Business Development Center and were then eligible to use their free one-on-one counseling services. We traded with other Etsy sellers to form relationships and gain mentors. Most of our schooling has been through trial, error and success.</li> <li>Legalize &mdash; We got all of the licenses, permits, identifications and insurance that we needed, and then again when we relocated. It can all be a big pain, but necessary and helpful.</li> </ul> <p><strong>What are the most effective ways you have promoted and marketed your Etsy business? What's your best marketing tip?</strong><br /><em>Nick:</em> My goal is to get <a href="http://LittleSaplingToys.etsy.com">Little Sapling Toys</a> to as many people as possible because they really speak for themselves.<br /><br /><em>Kimber:</em> Sales usually increase when we list new designs. I relist often, try different photos and let Etsy do most of the dirty work. I keep multiple quantities in the listings so that when we are featured on Etsy it is visible longer. We occasionally offer free shipping on our lighter items and had great fortune when we were featured in Etsy&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/weekend-deals/">Weekend Deals</a>. We&rsquo;ve just started a new <a href="http://www.sparetimeflies.blogspot.com" target="_blank">blog</a>, which is still in its experimental phase. On Twitter (<a href="http://twitter.com/sparetimeflies" target="_blank">@sparetimeflies</a>) and our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Little-Sapling-Toys/106398867958 " target="_blank">Facebook fan page</a>, I share daily tips for play, parenting, and child development.</p> <p><strong>What have you found to be an unsuccessful promotion?</strong><em><br />Nick:</em> Christmas ornaments. They took a lot of time and we only sold one of each (to Kimber&rsquo;s mom &mdash; thanks, Lori!). It seemed like such a good idea, miniature Little Sapling Toys for baby&rsquo;s first Christmas, who wouldn&rsquo;t want that?<br /><br /><em>Kimber:</em> We don&rsquo;t get many direct sales from sponsoring blog reviews, giveaways and fundraisers, but I still agree to do them once in a while. At first, we peddled our toys directly to shops in person and left a lot of samples. We wasted a lot of time and money. With Etsy, we can just wait for them to contact us.</p> <p><a href="http://LittleSaplingToys.etsy.com"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/saplingfamily2.jpg" alt="" width="537" height="383" /></a><br /><strong>Walk us through your typical workday.</strong></p> <ul> <li><em>Nick:</em> Our days are hardly typical, but they usually have some similar elements: Snuggle and playtime with family, shop time, audiobooks, putting the kids down for naps, eating, USPS (by bike when we&rsquo;re on schedule), and lots and lots of sawdust.</li> <li><em>Kimber: </em>We wake and immediately begin to juggle eating oatmeal, answering convos, emails, children&rsquo;s bodily functions, the shop list, Facebook, Twitter, personal hygiene and the like. If we&rsquo;re not too swamped and the weather is agreeable, we&rsquo;ll take a family bike ride along the greenbelt. Rex and Daphne time until lunch. Eat together and naps for the little &lsquo;uns. Convos, shipping labels, packaging, photos, emails, phone calls, bookkeeping and designing toys until Rex, the ball of energy, zooms back into action. Juggle work, Rex, Daphne, dinner, the inevitable phone call and household tasks. Dinner together, play together, kids in bed, Nick back to the shop and work until exhaustion takes me. Sunday we rest.</li> </ul> <p><strong>What do you enjoy most about not having a day job? Is there anything you miss?</strong><br /><em>Nick:</em> Even though I work 10+ hours a day, I love that it&rsquo;s flexible. I love that my commute is 34 steps from the front door to the garage/shop. Mostly, I love all the time I spend with my family. The last few day jobs I had were great though, a woodworking store and then as a cabinetmaker. I miss those co-workers and am grateful for what I learned there.<br /><br /><em>Kimber:</em> I love to design new toys! I wish they could be manufactured right out of my brain. I&rsquo;m addicted to the pride of a job well done. We love books but have little time for reading, so we&rsquo;re nearly always listening to audiobooks. There is absolutely nothing I miss about an office, but I would prefer to spend every moment completely focused on Rex and Daphne.<br /><br /><strong>What's the hardest part about running your own business?</strong><br /><em>Nick:</em> I have a hard time always being innovative, keeping myself out of a rut, and from falling back on the same old things. All the menial everyday tasks also wear me down.<br /><br /><em>Kimber: </em>A dissatisfied customer! With all the energy that we put into everything we do, it is just miserable to find out someone was disappointed. <br /><a href="http://LittleSaplingToys.etsy.com"><span style="text-decoration: line-through;"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/saplingpackaging.jpg" alt="" width="557" height="397" /></span></a><br /><strong>If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself? What advice would you give someone else?</strong><br />Start bookkeeping with your first dollar. Listen to input. Always get delivery confirmation. Accept help from friends and family. Hire help when needed. Carefully price products, especially if you plan to wholesale. Step back from day-to-day tasks to look at the big picture. Organize while things are manageable. Go to your local Small Business Development Center.<br /><br /><strong>What goals do you wish to accomplish in the coming year for your Etsy business?</strong><br />Our goals include our own website, new developmental toys, a more efficient shipping system and to have a small inventory. We&rsquo;re also opening an interesting little shop at <a href="http://cabbageandpopcorn.etsy.com/" target="_blank">cabbageandpopcorn</a>!<br /><br /><strong>Is there anything else you'd like to share?</strong><br /><em>Nick:</em> Thank you to my parents for your support and frequent purchases. Thank you to all our customers, I love to hear about your children playing with our toys and see pictures of your babies drooling on our teethers.<br /><br /><em>Kimber:</em> A big hug to our past and future customers! A high five to every friend and family member who has helped this year. Thumbs up to bloggers for spreading the word. I&rsquo;ll give a few more thanks by way of links:<br />Our logo and subsequent branding: <a href="http://622press.etsy.com/" target="_blank">622press</a>, Elle was there at the very beginning: <a href="http://latestendeavor.etsy.com/" target="_blank">latestendeavor</a>, our first Etsy mentor: <a href="http://thosegreathousewomen.etsy.com/" target="_blank">thosegreathousewomen</a>, and most of all my dad, who does beautiful woodwork with our block scraps: <a href="http://dapperscrapper.etsy.com/" target="_blank">dapperscrapper.</a></p> <p><a href="http://LittleSaplingToys.etsy.com"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/saplingfamily.jpg" alt="" width="544" height="647" /></a></p> <p><em>Thanks to Nick and Kimber</em><em> for sharing their story.

I was constantly drawing on shoes and T-shirts, embroidering my jeans, and adding bits of trim to all kinds of things. Later, in high school, I airbrushed T-shirts for my first paying craft gig. This was when I had my first sense that I was going to live a life filled with art and design &mdash; and a whole lot of messes.</p> <p>There is something thrilling about marking up fabric. It's easier than ever to learn how to customize fabric &mdash; you don't have to take a college-level surface-design class. Nor do you need to break the bank buying supplies in vast quantities: Suppliers have made it easy to get materials, and much of what you need you already have around the house or can find at fabric or craft stores. Look in your kitchen! Stamping can be as simple and inexpensive as using a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/making-stencil-and-yam-prints-with-lotta-jansdotter-1980/">cut potato and some paint</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307451836?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=etsy-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0307451836" target="_blank"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/Amy_Karol.JPG" alt="" width="254" height="248" /></a></p> <h2>We Have the Technology</h2> <p>You don't need a computer to customize your projects, but it sure adds to the fun. A computer, printer, and &mdash; even better &mdash; a scanner open up a whole world of possibilities. Even though you might use a computer for some of these techniques, that doesn't mean the images have to look digitally created. So many examples of uses for printed fabric sheets involve photos, which is great, but that doesn't even skim the surface of what you can do. For example, you can paint a real watercolor onto paper, scan it, and then print it onto fabric. Wow! You now have the look of a watercolor (a very tricky thing to do directly on fabric) printed onto your fabric from your computer. Same goes with drawing, painting &mdash; all of that. The computer is just a tool.</p> <h2>Lunch Bag</h2> <p>I love packing a lunch, and I like to do it in style. Why use disposable paper bags when you can reuse supercute ones? Adorn this clever lunch bag with your favorite images from magazines or books. The fabric for this bag has an image scanned from a vintage magazine, complete with a cookie recipe. This project uses only three photo fabric sheets (or homemade sheets with <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29363390">Bubble Jet Set 2000</a>), and the pattern cleverly uses 8 1/2" x 11" (21.5 x 28cm) sheets, so you won't waste any fabric. Once you make one of these, you'll be hooked.</p> <p><strong>Finished Size<br /></strong>10 3/8" high x 6 1/4" wide x 3 1/2" deep (26 x 16 x 9cm), unfolded</p> <p><strong>Materials<br /></strong>Outer bag fabric: (3) 8 1/2" x 11" (21.5 x 28cm) photo fabric sheets for your printer or copier, or homemade sheets using <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29363390">Bubble Jet Set 2000</a>, cut after printing into:</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">(2) 6 1/2" x 11" (16.5 x 28cm) front pieces<br />(2) 4 1/4" x 11" (11 x 28cm) side pieces<br />(2) 6 1/2" x 11" (16.5 x 28cm) front pieces<br />(2) 4 1/4" x 11" (11 x 28cm) side pieces<br />(2) 6 1/2" x 4 1/2" (16.5 x 11.5cm) bottom*</p> <p>Binding:</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">(1) 2" x 20" (5 x 51cm) piece of fabric for homemade binding, or, if using premade binding, (1) package (3 yards [2.7m]) of 7/8"-(22mm-)wide single-fold bias tape</p> <p>(1) 1" x 2" (2.5 x 5cm) piece of Velcro (optional)<br />Vintage magazines or other images to copy<br />Printer<br />Sewing machine</p> <p><strong>Seam Allowance<br /></strong>1/4" (6mm)</p> <p>*One bottom lining piece is used for the bottom of the outer bag.</p> <p><strong>1. Prepare your artwork by scanning and printing it onto your fabric at home, or make color copies of it and print it onto color copier fabric sheets at the copy shop. </strong>You will need 3 printed sheets total.</p> <ul> <li>For printing images onto fabric sheets, there are two primary options. The easiest is to use sheets designed for your printer (or copier) that have fabric on one side. They come in different fabric types, are usually only white or cream, and can be quite stiff. Several brands make them, and they can be found at most craft and fabric stores. Some things to keep in mind: Not all brands are waterproof/washable, so don't assume they are; read the fine print and care instructions carefully, making sure to check the type of fabric used (a twill is very different from a cotton poplin) and make sure to purchase sheets compatible with your printer. The second option is to create your own fabric sheets. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29363390">Bubble Jet Set 2000</a> is a liquid solution that enables you to make your own fabric printer sheets. You can use whatever fabric you want, as long as it is 100-percent cotton or silk. You can save a ton of money. The fabric feels better than premade fabric sheets and is much easier to work with. You also can use colored fabric.</li> </ul> <p><strong>2. Cut out the outer bag pieces from your printed fabric. Cut out the lining pieces and binding strip if you are making binding. </strong>(Skip this step if you are using premade binding.)</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307451836?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=etsy-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0307451836" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/lunch_bag_step_a.jpg" alt="" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307451836?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=etsy-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0307451836" target="_blank"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/lunch_bag_step_b.jpg" alt="" /></a></p> <p><strong>3. Make the outer bag: </strong>With right sides facing, sew the long sides together on the front and side pieces, creating a box without a top or bottom. With right sides together, pin a lining bottom piece onto the front and side pieces. Sew carefully, flaring out the sides and front, stopping and pivoting with your needle down at each corner.</p> <p><strong>4. Repeat step 3 with the lining fabric.</strong></p> <p><strong>5. Turn the outer bag right side out. </strong>Place the lining bag inside the outer fabric bag, wrong sides together. This will now look exactly like it will when it is done, minus the binding. Baste around the top edge to keep the layers together.</p> <p><strong>6. Make binding by ironing your strip in half lengthwise. </strong>It will now be 1" x 20" (2.5 x 51cm). Align the raw edges of the binding and the top of the bag and lay out on the printed side of the bag, right sides together. Fold the short end of the tape over so there is no raw edge, and stitch using a 1/4" (6mm) seam allowance from the edge. Flip the folded edge to the inside on the bag, and hand-stitch it to the lining.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307451836?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=etsy-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0307451836" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/lunch_bag_step_c.jpg" alt="" /></a></p> <p><strong>7. To create the closure, machine-stitch one Velcro piece centered just under the binding along the top edge of one front piece.</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307451836?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=etsy-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0307451836" target="_blank"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/lunch_bag_finished.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="334" /></a></p> <p><strong> </strong>Fold the bag over twice toward the other front piece, and mark where the Velcro touches the other front piece. Stitch the opposite Velcro piece onto the other front piece where the two Velcro pieces would touch.</p> <p><strong>Tips, Hints, and Other Suggestions:<br /></strong></p> <ul> <li>You can make this with a vinyl lining. Plastic-coated fabric like oilcloth can be tricky to stitch with, so try a Teflon presser foot or use masking tape on the edges and sew through all layers to keep the oilcloth from sticking.</li> <li>Create a cute closure by stitching an elastic band into the binding on one side and adding a button on the outside front instead of the Velcro.</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><em>Looking for more ways to innovate with fabric?

Add the kale and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add a little water if the pan gets dry and the greens start to stick. While they are still warm, smash the cooked potatoes in a ricer or with a potato masher. Put into a large bowl and add the milk and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

<p><em><a href="http://babyccinoblog.com/" target="_blank">Babyccino</a> is a website for urban moms: a daily dose of city life mixed with products and parenting tips. It&rsquo;s like eavesdropping on a group of girlfriends in a caf&eacute; &mdash; only they&rsquo;re inviting you to take part in the conversation! Four women in four cities (London, Paris, Amsterdam and Milan) discuss life, kids, style and all their favorite must-haves. From art projects and toys to fashion and food, the conversation is genuine, helpful and sometimes funny.</em><a href="http://babyccinoblog.com/" target="_blank"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/Babyccino_girls.jpg" alt="" width="247" height="368" /></a></p> <p>We just love Etsy! Isn&rsquo;t it fantastic to spend some time (and it can easily result in QUITE some time) browsing Etsy, surfing from shop to shop, occasionally pulling out the PayPal wallet to purchase yet another wonderful birthday present?</p> <p>At Babyccino, we are HUGE fans of everything handmade. We can feel the love, the attention, the hope that somebody will treasure the product with as much care as it was initially made.</p> <p>Now that we all have school-going kids (time flies when you&rsquo;re having fun!), we want to equip them with cute goodies so they won&rsquo;t miss us too much in that strange, scary environment called school. Because surely they will miss us, their beloved parents, their role models, their REAL teachers! Or will we just miss them? To ease the pain on both parties, we have selected some very, VERY sweet back to school items for you &mdash; er, your kids!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26126514">MY BOOKS Cotton Bag </a></strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26126514"><img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/6/6d9/61a/il_430xN.74341665.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p> <p>What better bag will hold your (kid&rsquo;s) books?
