Shops of The Month: Untwisted Sister
, 11/16/2012
Welcome fellow team FEST member Terri, from the online Etsy shop
Untwisted Sister!
When did
you know you wanted to create and sell handmade items?
After I
learned to do wire wrapping, realized I was actually pretty good at it. I couldn't possibly wear everything I made!
Where
does your inspiration come from?
Often it
comes from my students. They might ask me how to do something or in class
someone makes a mistake I have to fix and end up with 'happy accidents'.
What’s
the most memorable custom item you’ve created?
My
Egyptian bracelet with a twist which was created as a 'happy accident'.
Besides
creating things, what do you do?
I'm an
avid Ladies doubles tennis player. I was president of our County League with
over 1800 members for 2 years and currently captain a team.
What is
the most important advice anyone has given you?
Treat
your customers the way you'd want to be treated.
What is
the most important advice you'd like to give to other etsy sellers?
If you
enjoy what you're doing you will be successful, even if it doesn't make you
wealthy.

Shops of the Month: Bead Lovers Korner
, 10/06/2012
From awhile, I'll be featuring TWO shops each month! Whoop! And just in time for the holiday season! First up for the month of October is the lovely Gari Anne from Bead Lovers Korner. Don't forget to show some love and check her links out at the bottom!
When did
you know you wanted to create and sell handmade items?
I
started making beaded jewelry about 12 years ago. I opened a shop on
Ebay, where I sold a few things, but ended up mostly selling beads. I joined
Etsy 2 years ago and since then have been making and selling a lot more of my
creations.
Where
does your inspiration come from?
I give
all credit for my inspirations to God
What’s
the most memorable custom item you’ve created?
My
Rainbow Moonstone Goddess Necklace would be the most memorable because I made
it by flashlight! We had several Hurricanes go through Central Florida years
back and I sat and made many items with a flashlight type lamp that my husband
set up for me.
Besides
creating things, what do you do?
I have
an ebay store and a website as well as my Etsy Shop. I work full time at home
selling my creations and other beads. I am an Authorized Dealer for Carlo Biagi
Jewelry and Landmark Travel beads so with all of that I stay really busy.
What is
the most important advice anyone has given you?
"Be
nice to everyone because you never know who you are talking to."
What is
the most important advice you'd like to give to other Etsy sellers?
Be
determined, don't give up if you don't get sales instantly. It takes time and
effort to build up enough items, with the right pictures, at the right price
for the right buyers!!
