<p>Hello Etsians from Europe and around the world!</p> <p>It has been a crazy holiday season so we apologize for the delay in getting up our re-cap of the super trip&nbsp; Liz, a.k.a. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/etc/about-us-liz-wald-aka-muka-3103/">muka</a>, and I took last month. We hosted meet-ups in Berlin, Paris and London as part of our goal of building greater awareness for the handmade movement and Etsy community in Europe. We had a great turnout in Paris. Thanks to photographers <a title="YannPendaries' shop" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/YannPendaries" target="_blank">YannPendaries</a> (the very talented fiance of <a title="Malam's shop" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Malam" target="_blank">Malam</a> &mdash; congrats to you both!) and Fatih and Feyza of <a title="IKAbags' shop" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ikabags" target="_blank">ikabags</a> and <a title="hobbytime's shop" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/hobbytime" target="_blank">hobbytime</a>, we have some great photos to share. We wish we had photos from our other meet-ups in Berlin and London &mdash; they were also wonderful.&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/12/RoseLaBiche_Malam_AnatasiaBijoux_TortillaGirl.jpg" alt="" width="561" height="371" /><em><a title="roselabiche's shop" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/roselabiche" target="_blank">RoseLaBiche</a>, <a title="Malam's shop" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/malam" target="_blank">Malam</a>, <a title="AnastasiaBijoux' shop" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/AnastasiaBijoux" target="_blank">AnastasiaBijoux</a>, <a title="TortillaGirl's shop" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TortillaGirl" target="_blank">TortillaGirl</a></em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/12/JiaStyle_Stephanie_sm.jpg" alt="" width="565" height="373" /><em>The lovely ladies of <a title="JiaStyle's shop" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/JiaStyle" target="_blank">JiaStyle</a> (left) with our "woman on the ground" in Paris, Stephanie (right) who has been working with us learn about the local market.</em>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/12/EtsyGroup.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A group shot of Etsians listening intently to Matt tell a hilarious story about the early days of Etsy.</em></p> <p>In the coming year, I will devote myself full time to developing Etsy's European business, spotlighting the creative talents within our existing European community as well as recruiting new artists, vintage sellers and shoppers. Today, our global community represents members from over 150 countries and accounts for 30% of the business. We see a lot of potential to make this number grow, and in the year ahead, having a local presence will ensure the unique needs of our international friends are heard, as we build Etsy's marketplace capabilities.</p> <p>You can expect to hear a bunch more about this in 2010, and as always we'd love to hear from you with your ideas and suggestions.</p> <p>Liz and I and the rest of the Etsy Admin wish you all a happy, healthy and handmade holiday season!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php">Shop Local on Etsy</a> | <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/tags/Etsy%20International/">More International Posts</a></strong></p>

You'd be surprised to discover how many Etsy sellers live right in your own neighborhood. You'll find 44 shops in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?place=abilene">Abilene, Texas</a>, 28 up in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?place=fairbanks">Fairbanks, Alaska</a>, 27 in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?place=thessaloniki">Thessaloniki, Greece</a>, and even one shop somewhere in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?place=botswana">Botswana</a>.</p> <p>For this month's edition of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/shop-local-etsy-finds/">Etsy Finds: Shop Local</a>, I chose shops from five different world capitals. Try out your own <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php">Shop Local </a>search and see if you can find an undiscovered shop around the block or across the world.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2

<p>On Etsy, shipping and fulfillment are handled by sellers individually. This leaves a lot of flexibility for a seller's shipping options &mdash; which means it also presents a lot of decisions! This post will give you an outline of the most important shipping issues to consider as well as some tips and links to more in-depth information. We've included relevant links for US, Canada, UK, and Australia, thanks to help from these sellers: <a href="http://PeculiarForest.etsy.com">PeculiarForest</a>, <a href="http://estasketch.etsy.com">estasketch</a>, <a href="http://Terrain.etsy.com">terrain</a>, <a href="http://Dancingcircle.etsy.com">Dancingcircle</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/memake">memake</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/magicjelly">magicjelly</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5416792">fenrislorsrai</a>, <a href="http://lamarquisedesanges.etsy.com">lamarquisedesanges</a> and <a href="http://katsai.etsy.com">katsai</a>.

Sellers should come up with a plan for what types of shipping they offer, whether they offer express services, insurance, etc. Most of all, providing clear, friendly information will prevent any miscommunication &mdash; which can really put a damper on customer service. Along with the shipping costs outlined in the listing, many sellers put additional shipping details on their Shop Policies page, and link to that at the bottom of each listing.</p> <p><em>Further Reading: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/service-tips-for-sellers-creating-policies-that-work-2095/">Creating Policies That Work</a></em>,<a href="http://help.etsy.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/170/kw/policy%20page/r_id/100023"> </a><em><a href="http://help.etsy.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/170/kw/policy%20page/r_id/100023">Policy Overview in the Help section</a><br /></em></p> <ul> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29122531"><img style="border: 0;" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com//il_fullxfull.84379748.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="240" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29122531">Felt Watches by BraveMoonman</a></em></p> <p><strong>Calculating Rates</strong></p> <p>Depending on the shipping service you use, you may need to calculate weights. For example, US First Class Mail uses weights, while Priority Mail rates may depend on the type of box or envelope you send the item in.</p> <p>So whip out your measuring tape, kitchen or shipping scale, or take note of the weight of your packages when you take them to the post office. Now that you know the weights and dimensions of the packages you offer, you can use your country's postal service shipping calculator to determine the domestic and international rates for the countries you want to ship to. You may decide to factor in the price of your shipping materials into your shipping cost.</p> <ul> <li> <a href="http://www.usps.com/tools/calculatepostage/welcome.htm?from=home_header&amp;page=calculatepostage" target="_blank">USPS shipping calculator</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.canadapost.ca/cpotools/apps/far/personal/findARate?execution=e2s1" target="_blank">Canada Post - Find a Rate</a></li> <li><a href="http://sg.royalmail.com/portal/rm/PriceFinder?catId=23500532&amp;gear=pricingcalc" target="_blank">UK Royal Mail - Price Finder</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www1.auspost.com.au/pac/ " target="_blank">Australian Postage Assessment Calculator<br /></a></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Holiday Deadlines</strong></p> <p>The holiday rush can be a frantic time!

Chances are, you'll get a customer who needs an item by a certain date, so do your research ahead of time.</p> <p>I started off this post with a section on customer service, and I think it applies here. If you plan to offer express shipping, figure out how to make it as easy as possible for your buyer. Let them know up front how much additional services cost. Perhaps include some helpful text in your listings and Shop Announcement. Here's an example: "I also offer expedited shipping for an additional cost of $x.xx. If you would like this service, please write a note in the Message to Seller when you check out. I will send you an updated invoice from PayPal for the additional service."</p> <p><a href="http://Dancingcircle.etsy.com">Dancingcircle</a> pointed out in this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/shipping-how-to-the-final-frontier-1821/">post</a> that it's "easy to set up your own account through <a href="http://www.usps.com/" target="_blank">USPS</a>, <a href="http://www.ups.com/" target="_blank">UPS</a> or <a href="http://www.fedex.com/" target="_blank">FedEx</a> by visiting their websites.

As noted earlier, shipping is an aspect of customer service, and in the event there is a shipping problem, you may face an unhappy customer and negative feedback on Etsy. Third-party services like PayPal offer protection policies for sellers if certain criteria are met in the event of a delivery dispute (more information on this <a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/securitycenter/sell/SellerProtection-outside" target="_blank">here</a>). Additionally, there may be local laws in your area that would place responsibility on the seller for a shipping problem. Consider purchasing insurance on big-ticket items, or adding a small amount to each item cost so that in the rare cases where packages get lost, you have a fund that can cover&nbsp;you (or include the price of insurance in your shipping price and let the buyer know you have done so in the item description).&nbsp;</p> <p>You can find out the cost of insuring your package from your postal service. Some expedited services have certain insurance packages built in, so look into that before buying additional insurance.</p> <ul> <li> <a href="http://pe.usps.com/text/dmm100/adding.htm" target="_blank">USPS Insurance</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.canadapost.ca/cpo/mc/personal/productsservices/atoz/parcelproducts.jsf" target="_blank">Canada Post Insurance</a></li> <li>Check the UK Royal Mail shipping services' details individually </li> <li><a href="http://www.auspost.com.au/internationalpost/products/insurance/" target="_blank">Australian Insurance (Extra Cover)<br /></a></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Certificate of Mailing</strong></p> <p>If the buyer happens to claim they have not received their package, this proof of shipping is the key to clearing your name, should the buyer report this to PayPal.

Part of the excitement of being on Etsy is shopping and selling across borders. Offering international shipping opens up your shop to the world. That said, sellers need to be comfortable with the ins and outs of shipping internationally if they are going to offer this service to their customers. It is easy to learn, and once you do, you will open up your shop to many more customers!</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.usps.com/international/welcome.htm?from=home_mailandshipping&amp;page=intldeliveryservices" target="_blank">USPS International Delivery Services</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.canadapost.ca/cpo/mc/business/productsservices/shipping/shippingdestinations.jsf#International" target="_blank">Canada Post International Shipping Products and Services</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/jump1?catId=400023&amp;mediaId=400033" target="_blank">UK Royal Mail's International Delivery Options</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.auspost.com.au/internationalpost/" target="_blank">Australia Post International Services</a></li> </ul> <p>If you are selling to a lot of international buyers you might want to check out <a href="http://www.endicia.com/" target="_blank">Endicia.com</a>.

Do not mark it a "gift" if you're mailing an item you've sold to a customer. Check with your country's postal service to find out exactly what forms you'll need to attach to your package. In general, filling out these forms thoroughly with information should actually prevent your package from getting held up in Customs.</p> <p>Shipping internationally will go smoothly most of the time. Every so often a package can get stuck in customs. Make sure your customers are aware that you can't be responsible for these delays.

This can be an incentive for the customer to look through your shop and see if there is anything else she wants. You may even mention that you offer free shipping on additional items in your listing to entice her.</div> <div><br /></div> <div> <ul> <li><em>Free Shipping:</em> Some sellers use free shipping as a promotion. If you plan to do so, first consider your profits and realize that for lower-priced items, this may not be cost effective. If you decide to do free shipping, you may consider using "free shipping" as a tag or otherwise call attention to it in your Shop Announcement and listing description. Really, free shipping is only effective as a promotion if the buyer is aware of it before she decides to make the purchase! You may also consider just using free shipping as an occasional promotion for your shop, or as a special benefit that you give to great or repeat customers, or for orders over a certain dollar amount.</li> <li><em>Balancing Shipping Cost with Item Price</em>: It can be challenging to try to find a good shipping cost for heavy yet relatively inexpensive items such as baked goods. If your shipping cost is very high or even higher relative to your item price, you might consider the following ideas: Add a bit to your item price to balance the shipping cost, research and find the least expensive method possible, encourage multiple sales in one order if you are using a flat-rate service that will not cost additional money to ship.</li> </ul> </div> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Packaging</strong></p> <p>Packaging presentation and managing your mailing station is a whole other topic, my friends!

href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?ref=fp_nav_local">Shop Local</a> and other features like <a href="http://www.etsy.com/color.php?ref=fp_nav_colors">Colors</a>, <a

<p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"><em>When Maria and I (Liz, a.k.a. <a href="http://muka.etsy.com">muka</a>) <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/etsy-news/highlights-from-etsys-2009-european-visit-3776/">visited Paris earlier this year</a>, we had the pleasure of meeting C&eacute;cile Gu&eacute;rard at a quaint office in Saint-Germain-des-Pr&eacute;s. She shared with us some wonderful ideas on how to grow Etsy in the French market and showed us a bit of her artwork. We enjoyed our visit very much and thought she'd be a wonderful contributor to The Storque. Translated from the French by <a title="lilyofdesert profile" href="http://www.etsy.com/profile.php?user_id=7265950" target="_blank">lilyofdesert</a>.<br /></em></p> <p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">I paint from my house in Normandy, two hours from Paris, where I have a workshop; I see birds alight in my garden, I hear the ocean come and go. When I don't paint, I write. I'm made of a two-stroke engine, that's just the way it is! I like what is created, what is beautiful, what offers a meaning or brings surprises. Etsy is a wonderful place to find all of this! It's cheerful, simple, warm. I love to shop from one shop to another and I'm always a little bit moved afterward; our need to create new from chaos, to bring harmony into our lives, to surround ourselves with quality products &mdash; that's a whole philosophy in itself, my philosophy.<img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/11/cecile_studio.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>Painting and writing: I need these two life-sustainers, and they are bound together. Etsy defends and promotes handmade work, and this is as remarkable as it is necessary! Deciding what to do, creating things based on what we are, defining ourselves through our work &mdash; this is one of the paths to freedom, right? I just finished an exhibition, but you can find my paintings and my books on my <a href="http://www.cecile-guerard.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> and see the pretty things I like there.<br /> <em><br /> Je peins dans ma maison en Normandie, &agrave; deux heures de Paris, o&ugrave; j'ai un atelier : je vois les oiseaux se poser dans le jardin, j'entends les allers et retours de la mer. Quand je ne peins pas, j'&eacute;cris. J'ai un moteur &agrave; deux temps, c'est comme &ccedil;a! J'aime ce qui se cr&eacute;e, est beau, a du sens ou surprend. Etsy est un<br /> endroit merveilleux pour trouver tout cela ! C'est gai, simple, chaleureux. J'adore aller de boutiques en boutiques et j'en reviens toujours un peu &eacute;mue: notre besoin de cr&eacute;er &agrave; partir du chaos, d'introduire de l'harmonie l&agrave; o&ugrave; se d&eacute;roule notre vie, de s'entourer d'objets de qualit&eacute;s: c'est toute une philosophie, ma philosophie.<br /><br /> Peinture et &eacute;criture : j'ai besoin de ces deux respirations et elles sont li&eacute;es: &nbsp;Etsy d&eacute;fend et valorise le travail manuel et &ccedil;a c'est remarquable autant que n&eacute;cessaire ! D&eacute;cider de ce que l'on fait, cr&eacute;er &agrave; partir de ce que l'on est, se r&eacute;aliser &agrave; travers son travail, c'est l'un des styles de la libert&eacute;, non?

<p>With the backdrop of two active wars and the recent tragedy at <a title="Fort Hood home" href="http://pao.hood.army.mil/" target="_blank">Fort Hood</a>, our hearts, thanks, prayers, and sadly our condolences, go out to those in the military and their families this Veterans Day.&nbsp;</p> <p><a title="History of Veterans Day" href="http://www.military.com/veteransday/History.htm" target="_blank">Veterans Day</a>, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In 1938, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.'" As such, this new holiday honored World War I veterans. After both World War II and the Korean War, Congress &mdash; at the urging of the veterans service organizations &mdash; amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting the word "Veterans" and November 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.</p> <p>This is also a time to honor those who have fought for freedom in other parts of the world. One of the most significant symbols of this is the 20th Anniversary of the <a title="Berlin.de" href="http://www.berlin.de/mauer/index.en.html" target="_blank">fall of the Berlin Wall</a>, which occurred two days ago, on November 9.</p> <p>While peace is still a distant goal for the world as a whole, we are very fortunate to have the freedom we enjoy and the protection of those who make sacrifices every day.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/mouse.shtml">Homefront Team</a> |<a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=tag_title_all&amp;search_query=Homefront%20Team"> Items From Their Shops</a> | <a href="http://www.homefrontartistryteam.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Homefront Team's Facebook Fan Giveaway</a><br /></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong> <a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/military.shtml">Military Brats Team</a> | <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=tag_title_all&amp;search_query=Military%20Brat%20Team">Items From Their Shops</a></strong></p>

<p>If you haven't heard already, tomorrow, October 24, 2009, people all over the world are coming together in places as simple as your local park and diverse as the Taj Mahal and the Great Barrier Reef to send a big, loud, important <a href="http://www.350.org/mission" target="_blank">message</a> to world leaders: "Solutions to climate change must be equitable, they must be grounded in science, and they must meet the scale of the crisis."&nbsp;</p> <p>In December, world leaders will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark to craft a new global treaty on reducing emissions and stemming global warming. People around the world are encouraging their leaders to consider the 350 parts per million test when making this legislation.</p> <p>Check out this video animation that explains the concept without words. Or you can read (in at least a dozen languages) more at <a href="http://www.350.org" target="_blank">www.350.org</a> to learn why "350" is such an important number.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5kg1oOq9tY"> <object width="425" height="344"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/s5kg1oOq9tY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"> </param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> </param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/s5kg1oOq9tY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="510" height="412"></embed> </param></object> <span id="__caret">_</span><br /></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p>So hop on your bike, take public transportation, run or walk to an event and show your support for keeping our planet green.

He sent me an email two days later: "I'm camping on the beach where they filmed <em><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11859770">The Goonies</a></em>. I'm officially the coolest person you know."

2009-10-11T21:00:00-05:00muka, Vanessahttp://www.etsy.com/storque/etc/a-cornucopia-of-well-wishes-to-our-canadian-friends-5549/

<p>The second Monday in October is the traditional date of Thanksgiving Day in Canada. The holiday has roots in the European tradition of harvest festivals, and a common motif is a "cornucopia" or horn filled with seasonal fruits and vegetables, the horn of plenty.</p> <p>Unlike its sister to the South, Canada's Thanksgiving Day has nothing to do with Pilgrims or Plymouth Rock though it does celebrate a "new found land." An English Navigator named <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_%28Canada%29" target="_blank">Martin Frobisher</a> who was seeking a northern passage to Asia fell short of his destination but ended up settling in what is now <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?place=newfoundland">Newfoundland</a>. In 1578 he held a formal gathering to give thanks for his surviving his long journey and officially kicked off Thanksgiving in Canada as we know it today.</p> <p>We at Etsy wish all of you in Canada, and around the world, a season of abundance!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?place=canada">Shop Local Canada</a> | <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=all&amp;search_query=fall+harvest&amp;order=most_relevant&amp;ship_to=">Find Fall Harvest Items</a></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Check out our Canadian Teams:</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/ab.shtml" target="_blank">Alberta</a> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/ap.shtml" target="_blank">Atlantic Provinces</a><br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/bc.shtml" target="_blank">BritishColumbia</a> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://team.etsy.com/viewteam.php?id=501" target="_blank">Manitoba</a><br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/ont.shtml" target="_blank">Ontario</a> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/qc.shtml" target="_blank">Quebec</a> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/transcanada.shtml" target="_blank">TransCanada</a>&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Beon and Candy of <a href="http://Leatherprince.etsy.com">leatherprince</a> met online and dated long distance from Singapore and Taiwan before Candy moved to Singapore and the pair married. They have backgrounds in shoe repair and lab work and for a short while Candy helped out repairing shoes with Beon. It wasn't long before they came up with the idea to take the leather stitching skills Beon acquired, pair them with Candy's love for illustration, and develop the business idea for <a href="http://Leatherprince.etsy.com">leatherprince</a>. They both feel strongly that they would not be able to make a living selling their leather accessories in Singapore if it weren't for Etsy's global reach, and they plan to keep growing their business in the future.</em></p> <p><strong>How did you originally get into the business of making things?</strong><br />I used to be a cobbler in Singapore working for my father and Candy was a lab assistant in Taiwan before we got married in June 2007, which ended a long distance relationship of three years. We met each other on the Internet, fell in love and got married, and now we run an Internet business together &mdash; amazing! Candy moved to Singapore and helped in our cobbler stall but we soon found the shoe repair work to be unsatisfying, as we both wanted to draw cartoons instead. At that time, I was learning leathercraft from our friend <a href="http://handmakeleather.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Cody</a>. An idea flashed in my head that we would be able to utilize our own illustrated designs with colorful leather and this is how we started leatherprince!<br /><br /><strong>When you first started selling on Etsy, did you have dreams or goals of eventually quitting your day job?</strong><br />We just thought that we could earn some extra income with our craft, but things became more successful each day. To be frank, we had extra pressure when we started in April of 2008, because our circle of friends and environment are predominantly Chinese-speaking and we decided to sell on an English-speaking site. A big thank you goes to our friend, <a href="http://lingglass.etsy.com">Ling</a>, who introduced us to Etsy and has helped us a lot along the way to overcome the language barrier and any problems we have faced. After 9 months of handling our shop, we sat down one day to discuss if we wanted to work on <a href="http://Leatherprince.etsy.com">leatherprince</a> full time as more than just a hobby.<br /><a href="http://Leatherprince.etsy.com"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/10/leathermaking.jpg" alt="" width="529" height="396" /></a><br /><strong>Did you do anything to prepare ahead of time?</strong><br />We didn&rsquo;t really plan too much ahead. We don&rsquo;t allow ourselves to think about failing on Etsy, we try to stay positive even when sales are slow; we take that time to focus more on our designs and always make new things to keep our shop fresh. There&rsquo;s a Chinese word that means "fate," which we strongly believe in; we can never know what will happen next but we choose to enjoy what we are doing right now and live happily.<br /><br /><strong>What are the most effective ways you have promoted and marketed your Etsy business? What's your best marketing tip?</strong><br />We will list a few new items or renew items 5 to 6 times a day or more in different time zones, this method works well for us. We have a <a href="http://leatherprince.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/leatherprince/" target="_blank">Flickr</a>, and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/leatherprince?ref=fs" target="_blank">Facebook</a> page for our social networking. We enjoy making custom orders, requesting that the buyer name the item for us and write a little story on why they wanted the design &mdash; this way, we can have record of why the design was created, particularly if we decide to sell more of the design in our shop. We find this is meaningful to us, using our craft to fulfill someone's needs, and hope we can handle every request. We believe our best marketing is by word of mouth from our customers, family and friends. <br /><br /><strong>What have you found to be an unsuccessful promotion?</strong><br />We think that every kind of promotion is good, we can never predict when someone will discover our products, so we just do as much promotion as possible.<br /><br /><strong>Walk us through your typical workday.</strong></p> <ul> </ul> <ul> <li>Candy wakes up at 6:30 a.m. to take our dog for a walk. She makes breakfast at 8:45 a.m. and I usually wake up at 9 a.m. We turn on the computer and have breakfast together before checking any emails or Convos from the previous evening.</li> <li>9:30 a.m. &ndash; 1:30 p.m.: I answer all of our Convos and emails and work in our studio if there are any orders to fill. I'll also work to build up our inventory or work on new designs.&nbsp;</li> <li>1:30 p.m. &ndash; 2:30 p.m.: We have lunch and I take our dog for a walk, watch the news and get some rest.</li> <li>2:30 p.m. &ndash; 7:30 p.m.: After some rest we go back to the studio to continue working. Candy packs orders if there are any left, then I go to the post office.</li> <li>7:30 p.m. &ndash; 11 p.m.: Dinner and family time with our dog, Mao Bao, and our two cats, MoMo and Machi. We stitch our keychains while we watch TV.</li> <li>11 p.m. &ndash; 2 a.m.: I surf the Internet, check up on our shop, and play Bejeweled Blitz for a while on Facebook if I have the time (that&rsquo;s the only game I LOVE to play). Candy will go to bed around midnight and I usually go to bed after 2 a.m.</li> </ul> <ul> </ul> <p><a href="http://Leatherprince.etsy.com"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/10/leathersplit.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /><strong></strong></p> <p><strong>What do you enjoy most about not having a day job? Is there anything you miss?</strong><br />We really enjoy being a team, being our own bosses, and having a break anytime we want. We are glad to have each other to share the workload and we brainstorm ways to improve our shop all the time. Sometimes we work alone and it's so lonely!&nbsp; What I miss about my day job is my boss, my dad. He taught me shoe repair skills, as well as most of the hand-stitching methods we use on our items. Thank you, Dad!<br /><br /><strong>If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself? What advice would you give someone else?</strong><br />If we could go back in time, we would do the same thing: start small, <em>work hard</em>, and focus on our designs to make them our own. This is the same advice we would share with others.<br /><br /><strong>What goals do you wish to accomplish in the coming year for your Etsy business?</strong><br />We hope our business will get better and better in the coming year! We have opened a shop with Candy's twin sister, Yen. She will be helping with our designs (and her own in felt) over at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7216808">feltprince</a>. We hope she can join us full time soon.<br /><br /><strong>Is there anything else you'd like to share?</strong><br />We are very grateful to have Etsy to sell our products. If it weren&rsquo;t for Etsy, we don&rsquo;t think we could do our leathercraft full time. Thank you very much, Etsy! And thank you to all of our customers! I would also like to thank all of my family in Singapore for their full support and understanding. Thank you!</p> <p><a href="http://Leatherprince.etsy.com"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/10/leatheretsy.jpg" alt="" width="541" height="404" /></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 Beon and Candy</em><em> for sharing their story.&nbsp;</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>You can see some of their beautiful work in the Related Items.

"Based on the historical dress of Alpine peasants, the dirndl is the traditional dress of southern Germany and Austria. In Munich, wearing a dirndl is still a normal way to dress." If you use the dirndl pattern, make sure to show <a href="http://burdastyle.com" target="_blank">BurdaStyle</a> your interpretation of it!</p> <p>To get you in the mood, we asked Munich-native Benedikta von Karaisl to share some of her memories of Oktoberfest, both in German and English.&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Die online N&auml;hplattform <a href="http://burdastyle.com" target="_blank">BurdaStyle</a></em><em> ist ein <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/burdastyle/">langj&auml;hriger Freund von Etsy</a> (und zudem noch deutsch!).

"Basierend auf der historischen Tracht der Alpenbauern, ist das Drindl die traditionelle Bekleidung in S&uuml;ddeutschland und &Ouml;sterreich. In M&uuml;nchen ist es beispielsweise immer noch normal sich so zu kleiden." Falls ihr das Drindlmuster benutzt, m&uuml;sst ihr eure Interpretationen davon unbedingt BurdaStyle zeigen!<br /><br /> Um euch in Stimmung zu bringen haben wir die aus M&uuml;nchen stammende Benedikta von Karaisl gefragt mit euch in Englisch und Deutsch einige ihrer Erinnerungen ans Oktoberfest zu teilen.</em></p> <p>My name is Benedikta, and I run <a href="http://BurdaStyle.com">BurdaStyle.com</a> with my partner in crime, Nora Abousteit.

However, all of that changes during the last two weeks of September, when Bavaria&rsquo;s breweries gather for its yearly Oktoberfest, the &ldquo;Wiesn." Originally celebrated in honor of Ludwig I's wedding in 1810, it is now the world's largest fair with some 6 million people in attendance.</p> <p><em>Wer in Muenchen aufgewachsen ist, kann bestaetigen: die malerische Innenstadt mit seinen freundlich grummeligen Bayern wirkt eher wie eine laendliche Idylle als eine Grossstadt. Damit ist&rsquo;s allerdings dahin in den letzten zwei Septemberwochen, in denen in der Weltstadt mit Herz die Oktoberfestmusi den Ton angeben. Erstmalig veranstaltet als Pferderennen zu Ehren des Koenig Ludwig I in 1810, ist es mit seinen ueber sechs Millionen Besuchern heute das groesste Volksfest weltweit.</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/schmollmolch/2452022885/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/2452022885_c0c67777be.jpg" alt="2452022885_c0c67777be.jpg" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;">[<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/schmollmolch/2452022885/" target="_self">Wiesn Rides by schmollmolch on Flickr</a>]</p> <p>Besides rides and attractions, the main focus is traditional food and Bavaria&rsquo;s beer. The fact that about 7 million liters of beer and 520,000 chickens are consumed illustrate Munich's festive spirit during those two weeks.</p> <p><em>Nebst Wilder Maus und Schichtl ist natuerlich das Bier mit passenden Schmankerln die Hauptattraktion. Fakt ist, dass waehrend der Wiesn an die 520.000 Brathendl und knapp sieben Millionen Liter Bier und konsumiert werden.

Hungry tourists and traditionally clothed Bavarians streamed by on their way to the Wiesn, only to return hours later with large Bretzn and a swing in their step. Since hotels are booked to the max, campers liked to park their vans on our school parking lot. As we would be late for first period, we would spot them getting ready in front of their campers to join the Wiesn.

Touristen wie Bayern geschmueckt in Dirndl und Lederhosn stroemten unter unseren Fenstern vorbei Richtung Oktoberfest nur um Stunden spaeter mit Brezn, singend oder tanzend wieder aufzutauchen. Da Hotels waehrend der Wiesn grundsaetzlich ueberbucht sind, hatten wir die Ehre hartnaeckigen Touristen mit ihren Campingwaegen auf unserem Schulparkplatz ein vorlaeufiges Zuhause bieten zu koennen.

(Come to think of it, I'm a huge nerd in general, but especially for maps.) Growing up, whenever we went on a family road trip, my dad would sit me in the passenger seat with a map and tell me that it was my job to get us where we were going. Somehow I think he knew the way already, but I spent those trips studying the route and calling out directions &mdash; the best 6-year-old co-pilot on the East Coast. For today's Etsy Finds, I pulled out a few maps, closed my eyes and pointed, then I used <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?ref=fp_nav_local">Etsy's Shop Local tool</a> to find Etsy shops all over the world.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?place=portland%2C%20maine"><strong>Portland, Maine</strong></a></h2> <p> <table border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td>

2009-08-28T10:46:00-05:00kutty, muka, TechUpdateshttp://www.etsy.com/storque/etsy-news/tech-update-new-shipping-tool-available-3934/

<p>Sellers,</p> <p>We are happy to announce that we completed our <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/etsy-news/tech-update-new-shipping-tool-now-beta-testing-4104/">beta test of the new shipping regions tool</a>. Sellers will now have the option to use the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shipping_profile_edit.php">existing Shipping Profile</a> page or you can use the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shipping_profile_add_new.php">new Shipping Profile</a> page, which includes the option to ship to a geographic region as well as to an individual country. Sellers can also find the link to the new Shipping Profile on the existing Shipping Profile pages.</p> <p>For now, we have included just two new regions, but we may add more in the future:</p> <ul> <li>Europe non-EU countries </li> <li>European Union countries</li> </ul> <p>Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about this feature:</p> <p><strong>Using regions in your shipping profile is completely <span style="text-decoration: underline;">optional</span></strong>. You need not change your current shipping profiles, and you can still create "custom shipping profiles" just as you have done in the past. The regions are predefined and cannot be altered.</p> <p><strong>These </strong><strong>regions are <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> necessarily tied to specific shipping profiles used by postal services or shipping companies such as UPS or DHL</strong>. This level of customization is something we'd like to offer in the future, but it is not possible at this time.</p> <p><strong>We cannot create regions at the province or state level at this time.</strong><strong> </strong>This means, for example, that we can't offer regions within the U.S. or Canadian provinces or other such groupings.</p> <p><strong>A country shipping cost will override a regional shipping cost if that county also appears in the region</strong>. For example, if there is a country cost listed for France and a regional cost for the European Union (which includes France) the country cost will be the one used. The country cost can be set either higher or lower than the shipping cost for the rest of the region.</p> <p><strong>The order in which countries are displayed on the View Listing page has been updated. </strong>The item the country ships <span style="text-decoration: underline;">from</span> will be listed first (except in rare cases where the seller does not ship to her own country), and all other countries and regions will be listed alphabetically thereafter. Finally, "Everywhere Else" (if offered) will be displayed last. &nbsp;</p> <p><strong>The shipping cost will be applied</strong> <strong>based on the mailing address </strong>the buyer enters at Checkout. (This part of the tool remains the same.)</p> <p>Here's an example of how a hypothetical seller <span style="text-decoration: underline;">from France</span> could set up her shipping costs:</p> <ul> <li>Ship to France: $5 USD </li> <li>Ship to Canada: $8 USD</li> <li>Ship to Europe non-EU countries: $7 USD</li> <li>Ship to European Union (EU) countries: $6 USD</li> <li>Ship to United States $8 USD</li> <li>Ship to Everywhere Else $10 USD</li> </ul> <p><em>Note: It is OK to have the same price to more than one country or region as in this example.</em><br /><br />In this example, buyers who check out and enter France in their shipping address would be charged $5, since the country shipping cost would override the regional European Union (EU) cost, even though France is in the EU. Similarly, buyers from Germany (in EU) would pay $6, buyers from Switzerland (non-EU) would pay $7; buyers from the United States and Canada would pay $8. Buyers from Australia would pay $10, as they would be from "Everywhere Else" in this example.</p> <p><strong>Using shipping regions is completely optional</strong>; as a seller you don't have to do anything differently if you prefer to continue to set shipping costs individually for each country. These changes to shipping are compatible with the shipping profiles you currently use on Etsy.</p> <p>To start using this new shipping regions tool, you can find a link on both the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shipping_profile_add.php">create a shipping profile page</a> and the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shipping_profile_edit.php">edit a shipping profile page</a> under <em><a href="http://www.etsy.com/your_shop.php">Your Etsy</a></em>. Remember: If you change your shipping profiles, you need to apply the revised profiles to your listings by going to <em>Your Etsy &gt; Batch Shipping</em>.</p> <p><em><strong>We are closing comments on this post so that we can follow your discussion in this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6264262">Forum thread</a>.</strong></em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/tags/shipping-how-to-seller-handbook/">Shipping How-To's</a> | <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/authors/TechUpdates/">Tech Updates</a></strong></p> <p><em><a href="http://mailinglist.etsy.com/"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/article_images/icon_EtsyEmails2.jpg" alt="" align="right" /></a></em><em>P.S.

<p><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/Banana_tree.jpg" alt="" width="206" height="310" />My name is Anne-Sophie Godby, a.k.a. <a href="http://Treeforyou.etsy.com">treeforyou</a>, and I'm a 24-year-old Belgian living in the UK. I started my Etsy shop in May, 2009. I just got married, and I&rsquo;m planning on going back to Belgium at the end of the year. I started making jewelry when I was 16, and I never stopped! I also love sewing and cooking. I have just finished three years working as a French teacher, and I&rsquo;m now going to concentrate on my shop <a href="http://Treeforyou.etsy.com">treeforyou</a>.<br /> <br /> My two passions are tea (I collect teapots, cups and have a cupboard full of tea varieties) and trees. I love going for walks and guessing what type of tree is in front of me. I donate one dollar from each pet tree necklace that I sell to a charity called <a href="http://www.arborday.org/takeaction/donate.cfm" target="_blank">Arbor Day</a> that plants trees. <br /> <br /> A friend told me about Etsy a few months ago, and I&rsquo;m so delighted to have joined because it helped me meet some amazing, friendly people. I love shopping on here too. You find so many unique and original items. I can&rsquo;t count the number of times people have stopped me downtown to ask, &ldquo;Where did you get your T-shirt? Is it from the High Street?&rdquo; "No," I say, "Etsy!"<br /> <br /> My studio is in my flat in Manchester. I work on a very big table, always drinking a cup of tea, with all the beads laid out in front of me so I can try different combinations. Manchester is such a big city; I really love it, but I miss the Belgian countryside a lot. So, it seemed natural to create these little pet tree necklaces. It is like having a tiny greenhouse around your neck. I have one and never leave the house without it. I've named it Terry!<br /> <br /><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/studio.JPG" alt="" /><br /> <br /> I love nature and trees. I cannot wait for fall and winter to arrive so I can create more seasonal jewelry. I love working with the forest theme. A pet tree necklace would make such a good Christmas gift. I will have to make some special ones!<br /> <br /><strong>Further Resources:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.treeforyoujournal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Treeforyou's blog</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tree-For-You/123529791643?ref=nf" target="_blank">Treeforyou's Facebook page</a></li> </ul> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Looking for more Etsy newbies?

2009-08-21T13:00:00-05:00JohnToftBasketryhttp://www.etsy.com/storque/handmade-life/retired-but-still-bold-basketmaker-john-toft-4860/

<p><em>In celebration of today being National Senior Citizens Day, retired Etsian <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7006161">John Toft</a></em><em> shares his story of finding basket-making as a young boy and returning to it in his golden years. For John, basket-making has developed into a much-needed meditative outlet when life's everyday stresses wear him down. </em></p> <p>A few years before I retired from teaching high school in the remote gold-mining town of Red Lake in N.W. Ontario, I remarked to my wife, Anne, that I should do more than golf and garden when I retire.</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22017989"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/market_basket.jpg" alt="" width="346" height="259" /></a>I recalled to Anne my early crafting experience, growing up in a beautiful English village called Cheddleton. There, at around the age of nine, the &ldquo;top class&rdquo; was introduced to basket-making in the arts and crafts course. Traditionally this class was one not taken seriously by the pupils. However, my twin brother, Frank, and I had other ideas. We took to basket-making as another sports competition. &ldquo;I will show him how much better at this I am,&rdquo; I said to myself as he likewise vowed to do better than I. So avidly did we compete, that basketry supplies at the school dwindled to almost zero. <br /><br />Anne patiently listened to this story as if for the first time. But that Christmas, a book on basket-making appeared beneath the Christmas tree. So my basket-making odyssey began. By the time I retired from teaching, I had found a supplier of basket-making materials (<a href="http://www.bamboobazaar.ca " target="_blank">Kilby&rsquo;s</a> of Toronto, Ontario) and had given friends, relatives and passing strangers what I now recognize as somewhat crudely made baskets. But I was hooked.<br /><br />At that time, I had been the Chair of Harmony Centre for Community Living in Red Lake for many years. This agency serves all people with developmental, emotional, and physical disabilities. Our adult son, Adrian, a person with autism, was a fully fledged member of that Community Living Centre from the age of sixteen. <br /><img style="float: left;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/Rhode_Island_2009_021.jpg" alt="" width="368" height="276" /><br />We decided to move to Ottawa with Adrian so he would be near his siblings. They could then supervise his life in that community when we were no longer living. Surely, we thought, we could find Adrian similar facilities in &ldquo;The Nation&rsquo;s Capital.&rdquo;<br /><br />We moved to Ottawa in October 2001. We soon discovered that Ottawa did not have the facilities and programs our son needed. He had to live with us in our basement &mdash; this after eight years of supported independent living in his own apartment through the Community Living Centre. It was then that basket-making for me came into its own as a therapeutic occupation.<br /><br />From 2001, Anne and I battled to get Adrian the facilities and services he had had in Red Lake. We became founding directors of the <a href="http://www.familiesmattercoop.ca " target="_blank">Families Matters Co-operative Inc.</a>, an organization for and about people with developmental disabilities. I made presentations to the Federal House of Commons Finance Committee, the Ontario Legislature&rsquo;s Finance Committee, and the City of Ottawa. I was the primary author of a position paper called &ldquo;Dare to Care&rdquo; that detailed what services should be mandated to all people with developmental disabilities, nationally and provincially. And I registered my basket-making business as John Toft Basketry.<br /><br /><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/basket_making.jpg" alt="" />It was this business that kept me fairly sane. My basket-making skills by then were getting better and better. And people were saying fine things about them and even buying them. I enjoy talking to people about my work. I enjoy demonstrating my work, and I enjoy the relaxation that comes as I sit and make another basket. I have to concentrate when I work. My mind cannot focus on the worries of the world when I am weaving. The cares and tribulations about Adrian vanish when I sit down and get on task.<br /><br />Lobbying, protesting, letter writing, sending emails to politicians of all levels and parties became my life. And the stresses soon began to tell on my health.</p> <p>By 2008, Adrian was settled in with a wonderful agency, <a href="http://www.tamir.ca" target="_blank">Tamir</a>. He lives in a group home operated by that agency and takes part in their day programs. Families Matter had become a viable organization, receiving funding for three years to engage a paid Executive Director. It was time for both Anne and me to move on and leave the stresses to others. And it became the time when, for me, basket-making became a larger part of my life.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_gallery_20&amp;listing_id=24941378"><img style="float: left;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/basket.jpg" alt="" /></a>I was making enough money from my basket sales to cover supplies costs and exhibition entry fees, and then I heard about Etsy. &ldquo;Why don&rsquo;t you sell your baskets on this world-wide virtual sales system?&rdquo; suggested Catherine Gutsche,<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6734181"> a.k.a gutsche</a>, a local artist and Etsian I often saw at various shows in the Ottawa area. I took up her challenge. Little did I know what a steep learning curve I was to face in working to become a successful Etsian.<br /><br />I still remember when a computer appeared on my office desk at Red Lake District High School. "You will use this computer to change students' timetables, enter marks, keep track of credits earned, send marks to colleges and universities and register new students.&rdquo; I gulped and then said, &ldquo;OK.&rdquo;<br /><br />For Etsy, the challenges were different, but the learning curve just as steep. How do I create a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/skill-share-making-a-banner-641/">banner</a>? What is an avatar, and how do I get it to the right size? For these two problems, and others, the cry was &ldquo;Anne!!!!!&rdquo; Anne was a computer programmer from the days of punched cards, but she had kept up and developed her skills and abilities in the intervening years. She formatted my avatar and banner. But I still had to learn about <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/photography-how-to/">photographs</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/tags/art-of-pricing/">pricing</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/writing-for-an-online-audience-how-to-750/">descriptions</a>, and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/guidelines-tips-tagging-on-etsy-281/">tagging</a>.<br /><br />I soon began developing my <a href="http://www.johntoftbasketryatetsy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> as a promotional device for my Etsy shop and my baskets. On my blog, I share a great deal about basket-making, and a wide variety of other topics that take my fancy. It also includes occasional posts about our current joys and successes, as well as our trials and tribulations with Adrian as he reaches his 40th birthday this November. The basket-making, the blogging, and Etsy <a href="http://www.etsy.com/chat_main.php">Chat Rooms</a> help me through the day-to-day stresses. When I retired I never thought I would become a chat room addict!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_gallery_9&amp;listing_id=22730753"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/08/trivet.jpg" alt="" /></a>I am a member of the <a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/autism.shtml">Etsy for Autism Team</a> and I find solace in sharing with members some aspects of our life. I donate 10% of my sales revenue from Etsy to the <a href="http://www.autism.net" target="_blank">Geneva Centre for Autism</a>, Toronto. This world-famous research institution for autism is the institution that taught Anne, Adrian and I, his teachers, and the staff at Harmony Centre how to cope with the devastation that autism brings. The donation is one small step I can take to say thanks.<br /><br />Retirement&rsquo;s challenges have been many and varied so far. What new challenges will come for us, Adrian, and Etsy? Who can tell? But basket-making will continue to help me survive these challenges as it has done in the past.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Looking for more This Handmade Life posts?

Believe me, I try to plan out ambitious globe-spanning vacations, but my journey across the Serengeti usually turns into a weekend in the Poconos. For today's edition of Etsy Finds, I used Etsy's <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?ref=fp_nav_local">Shop Local </a>feature to search out shops in five cities that I hope will fit into my future travel plans. I started right here in New York, and then went on to Melbourne, Australia &mdash; about as far as you can get from NYC and still be on the same planet. On to Calgary, Alberta, where I wouldn't have to sit in front of an air conditioner for half the year, and Austin, Texas where I definitely would. Finally, Madrid, where one day I plan to get acquainted with many local wines. Enjoy the trip!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?place=nyc" target="_blank"><strong>New York City<br /></strong></a></h2> <p> <table border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td>

She has a hammock hanging in her studio and fluffy floor cushions that look like the perfect place to relax between long hours of sewing and designing.</p> <p>Paola runs a fantastic Etsy shop known as <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6942797">atelierpompadour</a> where she sells beautifully appliqued pillows, table runners and other home accessories.

She gave French journalist&nbsp; <br /> <a href="http://www.monsieuretmademoiselle.com/" target="_blank">Fabrice Guilloud and her husband Laurence</a>, who made this video, a tour of her Lyon workshop. Illustrating children's books was just her start &mdash; after she discovered Etsy, she branched out to selling prints of her drawings, then jewelry and other items.<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23034220"><img src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.71241979.jpg" alt="" width="260" height="194" /></a></p> <p>Anne clearly revels in the pink and girly &mdash; but her work is also a bit melancholy. A touch of darkness gives her sweet drawings their edge.</p> <p>She imagines that teenage girls are drawn to her work &mdash; but we think girls of all ages will love it. Check out her shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5559292">here</a>.</p> <p><em>Do you make videos? <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/etsy-news/a-handmade-moment-4095/">Enter the Handmade Moment Contest</a> and show us what handmade means to you!</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_local.php?place=Lyon">Shop Local Lyon</a> | <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/tags/Etsy%20International/">More Etsy International Posts</a></strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Et en francais...</strong><em><br />Joyeux 14 juillet &agrave; tous nos amis fran&ccedil;ais !<br /><br />Aujourd'hui nous voici en France pour rendre visite &agrave; l'illustratrice Anne Cresci alias <a href="http://matilou.etsy.com">Matilou</a>.
