Lenka's music&nbsp;is&nbsp;synonymous&nbsp;with a whimsical, crafty visual style, almost always created with her partner <a href="http://jamesgulliverhancock.com" target="_blank">James Gulliver Hancock</a> and can be seen in her album artwork, videos and stage sets. After majoring in sculpture at art school in Sydney&nbsp;and&nbsp;performing&nbsp;with Aussie&nbsp;film projection indie rockers, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/decoderringsounds" target="_blank">Decoder Ring</a>, Lenka sees the visual aspect of music as having the utmost importance. Lenka has become known for her <a href="http://www.lenkamusic.com/us/events" target="_blank">live shows</a>, which create a world that quickly became known as Lenkaland &mdash; filled with child-like motifs and fun, flirty vintage clothes. It was natural for Lenka to be a fan of Etsy, so today she's here to share her Etsy picks. She'll also be sharing her latest singles and music video and sharing more of her favorites in Etsy's interactive chat room, the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/virtual_labs.php">Virtual Labs,</a> on Thursday, November 12 at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Mark your calendars!</em></p> <p>I have always been a craft kid. I remember making fabric-covered books as a 9-year-old and I still enjoy embroidery, Fimo and papier-mache. But I've always loved entertaining people and making music too, which kind of took over as a career choice. Now I try to mix the two together! And my personal style is definitely influenced by my inner "craft kid." Selecting these items for Etsy has been really fun for me as I love and appreciate all the other craft kids out there!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><a style="color:#0192b5;font-weight:bold" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12538365"> SALE Mod Flower Necklace </a></strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12538365"> <img src="http://images.etsy.com/all_images/f/f9d/a68/il_430xN.29287383.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="430" /> </a></p> <p>I have one from her just like it; my boyfriend bought it for me!

It makes a perfect gift for grandma or any family member or friend who appreciates this old fashioned pleasure."</p> <p>Kata Golda creates and sells a line of hand-stitched items from her home in Port Townsend, WA.

<p><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/ks_sweater2.jpg" alt="" width="141" height="211" />As a child, I used to debate earnestly with my friends about whether Halloween or Christmas was the better holiday. Christmas had superior presents, but Halloween was somehow, undeniably, cooler. It&rsquo;s an assessment I&rsquo;d still stand by. There&rsquo;s just something so right about a late fall holiday that&rsquo;s dedicated to death, decay, and the uncanny &mdash; not to mention acting a little mischievous.</p> <p>My favorite Halloween costumes and d&eacute;cor pieces walk the fine line that defines Halloween: between being seriously creepy, and reveling in the playful humor of grown people dressing up like something they&rsquo;re not. Inspiration for your own Halloween party or costume is everywhere; just ask yourself what terrifies you the most, and then embrace it and camp it up. Or get your blood flowing by joining me for a live, interactive shopping event in Etsy&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.etsy.com/virtual_labs.php">Virtual </a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/virtual_labs.php">Labs</a> on Wednesday, October 7. I&rsquo;ll be sharing some of <a href="http://readymade.com/">ReadyMade</a>&rsquo;s favorite Halloween finery, from easy DIY costume starters to elements that will make you want to trick out your lair for a memorable bash.</p> <p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">When?</span></strong><strong> Wednesday, October 7 at 4 p.m. ET</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> (Click <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html" target="_blank">here</a> to calculate your local time.) <em>Note: The Virtual Labs doors won't open until exactly 4 p.m. ET!</em><br /></span></strong></p> <p>Where?<strong> Etsy's fun and interactive online meeting space, the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/virtual_labs.php">Virtual </a></strong><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/virtual_labs.php">Labs</a>.</strong> <em>Remember the Virtual Labs only holds 150 people &mdash; so make sure to be on time</em><em>.

<p><em>We here at the Etsy Labs are often asked questions about what the Labs are and how the community&nbsp;can get involved.&nbsp; We realize there isn't really any published material about the Etsy Labs on the site other than our <a href="http://etsylabs.etsy.com">Merchandise shop</a>, so we hope that we can clear up a few of the most frequently asked questions concerning the Etsy Labs in this article.<br /><br />For more on this </em><em><a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/section/etsyNews/article/introducing-a-new-series-all-about-etsy-faqs/1006/">All About Etsy FAQ series</a></em><em>, check out the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/section/etsyNews/article/introducing-a-new-series-all-about-etsy-faqs/1006/">intro</a>, the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/section/etsyNews/article/all-about-etsy-faq-series-getting-to-know-the-etsy-teams/977/">All About the Teams post</a> or the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/section/etsyNews/article/all-about-etsy-faq-series-as-the-storque-flies/806/">All About The Storque post</a>. <br /></em></p> <p><strong>What are the Etsy Labs? <br /></strong>The Etsy Labs are the physical Etsy offices located in Brooklyn, New York: Etsy central! Within the offices, the Labs functions as a community workspace where we hold Craft Nights and occasional events. The Etsy Labs&nbsp;folks run the community workspace, host events and visiting members of the press, design and make handmade Etsy merchandise and press kits and promos, manage the <a href="http://etsylabs.etsy.com">Etsy Labs shop</a>, host online workshops and tutorials each week and represent Etsy at&nbsp;craft shows. We also work as Admin who are here to help you whenever you need shop advice. Whenever we have an event here at our offices, we try to broadcast it via webcam to the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/virtual_labs.php">Virtual Labs</a>. In short, Etsy Labs is much more than an office: We work to bridge the online and offline worlds of Etsy.&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/etsylabs/sets/72157618055686066/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/papercutter.jpg" alt="" /></a></p> <p><strong>Can I come visit the Etsy Labs?</strong><br />We welcome visitors at the Etsy Labs and love putting faces with names and avatars! The best time to come by and say hello is on Mondays from 4 - 8 p.m., when the community space is open to the public for <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/tags/etsy-labs-craft-night-brooklyn/">Craft Night</a>.

Each week the Etsy Labs organize a skill-sharing project. We provide supplies, tools, and know-how. Participants are also welcome to bring their own projects to work on. This is the perfect time to see the space, use the equipment and supplies free of charge, and learn a new skill. Just stop on by!</p> <p>If you're not in the area, visit the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/virtual_labs.php">Virtual Labs</a> where we fire up the webcam and share in the fun.</p> <p>If you would like to lead a Craft Night or have a suggestion for a project, send your ideas to <a href="mailto:labs@etsy.com">labs@etsy.com</a> with "Craft Night Idea" as the subject line. Have you participated in Craft Night? Share your photos with the <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/etsylabsshowandtell/" target="_blank">Etsy Labs Show and Tell</a> Flickr group!</p> <p>The first Sunday of each month from 2 - 6 p.m. the <a href="http://www.churchofcraft.org/church/index.html" target="_blank">Church of Craft</a> meets at the Labs, which also serves as an open crafting time, and you are welcome to join in.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Do you still offer classes at the Etsy Labs?</strong><br />At the beginning of 2009, we discontinued our class program here at the Etsy Labs and embarked on a collaboration with the Brooklyn artist facility, <a href="http://www.3rdward.com" target="_blank">3rd Ward</a>. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/etsylabs/3525954643/in/set-72157618055686066/"><img style="float: right;" src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/inks.jpg" alt="" width="261" height="392" /></a>This collaboration is called <a href="http://www.3rdward.com/classes/spring/etsyward" target="_blank">Etsy at 3rd Ward</a>, and it is a craft education program born from Etsy and 3rd Ward's shared spirit of hands-on innovation. Together we present the opportunity to learn skills to expand creative know-how and craft a handmade life. Check out this program for a host of exciting craft classes.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>May I rent equipment from Etsy Labs? </strong><br />Tools and supplies are available for use during our weekly Craft Nights. We have a slew of crafty equipment on hand and open for use during Craft Night, including sewing machines, sergers, a one-inch button maker, paper cutters, fabric, paper, sewing notions, rubber stamps, linoleum carving tools, irons, cutting mats, and a whole lot more. To use specialized equipment at the Etsy Labs, like sergers, we ask that you have demonstrated previous experience. To use the button maker, please bring your own button one-inch parts.</p> <p>At this time, our screenprinting equipment is reserved for use by Etsy for in-house production of promotional materials.</p> <p><strong>What are the Virtual Labs and how do I participate in an online workshop? <br /></strong>The <a href="http://www.etsy.com/virtual_labs.php">Virtual Labs</a> are Etsy's online, interactive, multi-user chat room.&nbsp; We use the Virtual Labs to connect with our community, host events, live webcam how-to's, Team meetings, newbie chats, show and tell, shop critiques, and more! To find out what is happening in the Virtual Labs this week, just visit the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/virtual_labs.php">lobby of the Virtual Labs</a> for a schedule or check out the&nbsp; <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/tags/virtual-labs-schedule/">Virtual Labs Storque articles</a> for the details.<em> More info about the Virtual Labs <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/section/etsyNews/article/etsy-launches-the-virtual-labs/622/">here.</a></em></p> <p>Apply to host a workshop in the Virtual Labs <a href="http://www.etsy.com/teams_virtual_labs_ap.php">here.</a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/etsylabs/3795719181/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/09/3795719181_83e025628e_o.png" alt="" width="500" /></a></p> <p><strong>Why is your Blogspot blog so out of date?</strong> <br />Our <a href="http://etsylabs.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Etsy Labs blog</a> is what we used to communicate with the community before The Storque made its debut on Etsy. Now that The Storque is here, we now keep in touch with you guys over here. However, since there is so much useful information and so many resource links over at our old blog, we wanted to leave it up for you all to access everything that still lives over there.</p> <p><strong>Do you accept donations of crafting supplies? <br /></strong>Through your generosity we have a full house of donated craft supplies and equipment at the Etsy Labs, and we are pretty much filled to the brim. We are limiting what we can take at this time, so if you would like to send a donation, just send us an email to <a href="mailto:labs@etsy.com">labs@etsy.com</a> to work out the details.</p> <p><strong>Can we have an Etsy Labs in our city/area? <br /></strong>It would be wonderful to have an Etsy Labs in every state or in non-U.S. countries. It is our hope that through the Etsy <a href="http://team.etsy.com/">Teams</a> and partnerships, people will be able to meet up and form their own community workspaces in their areas where they host skill shares, get donations, and generally help each other spread the Etsy love. If you'd like to take on a project like this, please keep send your idea to <a href="mailto:labs@etsy.com">labs@etsy.com</a>.</p> <p><em>Soooooo...all you ever wanted to know about the Etsy Labs!

If you missed the workshop, you can watch clips below and check out the links that were shared by the PayPal team.</p> <p> <object width="540" height="396"> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"> </param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> </param><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6417552&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ff9933&amp;fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6417552&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ff9933&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="540" height="396"></embed> </param></object> <strong>1: Verifying Payment</strong></p> <p>How do you know you received payment from a buyer? Tim walks you through the multiple ways to find out. You can even use PayPal's download log feature to view your transactions in a spreadsheet or in software like Quicken or Quickbooks.

Shipping and Seller Protection</strong></p> <p>Tip: When shipping on your PayPal invoice is incorrect, it's often a problem in your PayPal account settings. If you need to revise the invoice for the customer, go to your PayPal account and click on "request money."<br />Then, be sure to enable transaction-based override:<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Log in to your account at <a href="http://www.paypal.com/" target="_blank">http://www.paypal.com/</a>.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Go to <em>My Account &gt; Profile &gt; Shipping calculations</em> (in the Selling Preferences column)<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Select the Shipping Method and click Edit<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Select Yes for "Use the shipping fee in the transaction instead of my calculator's settings" and press Save Changes.<br />Please note that if you have not set up any Shipping Calculations in PayPal, the default is to override shipping methods per transaction. (You should not need to change anything.)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p> <object width="540" height="396"> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"> </param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> </param><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6520102&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ff9933&amp;fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6520102&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=ff9933&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="540" height="396"></embed> </param></object> <strong>3.
