I still have an unfinished mission: To help a friend sell her handcrafted jewelry online. Folks who have followed me here on AR for a while know this project has been hanging around for over a year. :-)
I think I just got lucky. Someone at her work told this friend about Etsy (rhymes with "Betsy") http://www.etsy.com/index.php
It's sort of like Ebay for artistians and craftspeople.
Anybody else ever hear of Etsy? Any feedback? Comments?
Right now I'm all over it. If I can manage to avoid real estate/property rental problems for a few days, I just might have a store set up by next week. :-)
UPDATE: Before I posted this, I ran a Google search for reviews of "Etsy". I didn't notice any Active Rain posts, and AR posts usually come up near the top.... But after reading Rich's comments. I ran an Active Rain search, and sure enough, another Active Rain member, Brittney Williams: has written a post about Etsy http://activerain.com/blogsview/473388/Etsy-com-The-Crafty .
ANOTHER UPDATE: Here's a Squidoo Lens someone created with lots of great Etsy information: http://www.squidoo.com/etsy_store_crafts
And an Etsy Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/lookandlearn/discuss/
