For Valentine's Day, we at The Storque thought we'd seek out the Etsy members who are the most beloved (or rather, be-hearted). We tracked five of out of the top twenty most-hearted users and sought them out for interviews. They were totally surprised and pleased to find out!  The fifth, and last, in this series is circularaccessories.

Alison Albright has resided in Baton Rouge, Louisiana all her life, except for a few years of college where she enjoyed living in New Orleans. She loves to work with her hands and enjoys working with new materials and learning new processes. Alison makes hand-screenprinted wares for her Etsy store, mostly clothing, with designs that are very much inspired by her surroundings. As a formal student of biochemistry and landscape architecture, elements of science and nature can be found in most of her work. When she is not printing, you can find Alison in her garden playing with her son or strolling around town people watching.

Without further ado, here is circularaccessories! 

Tell us how you first got involved with Etsy.
I was actually "recruited" by an Etsy user while selling on another online venue. I am so grateful that she guided me here. Once I managed to get my first listing up, I never looked back!

What's your favorite Etsy feature?
My favorite Etsy feature is probably the treasury. I enjoy searching through the funny titles and browsing the beautiful collections made by other members. I have found so many new favorites this way and given out many of my hearts.

How do you think you became so beloved in the Etsy community? (You've got a lot of hearts!)
What I really love about Etsy is the community. I try to participate in the forums when I have free time and have met some wonderful people there. When anyone asks for mentoring help, I will give the best advice I can and always treat everyone with respect. I really believe that what goes around comes around. I have a lot of love to share, so maybe that is why there is some returned.

 
Do you have an Etsy crush? If so, who?
I must say my heart is about to burst from all the love I feel right now from the Etsy community so I would say I have an Etsy crush on Etsy, but if I had to single one user out it would be SalmonStreetStudio; I have even professed my love for her in the forums! She can always make me smile even when things are rough, and is one of the most encouraging and helpful sellers I know.

What are you doing for Valentine's Day?
What am I doing for Valentine's Day? Oh, just spreadn' some more love I suppose ;)
