What a wonderful and helpful interview! Thanks for sharing your tips and suggestions! I am considering taking the leap on an Etsy store and it’s great to see other people have tried and succeeded.

Very informative article. I am an etsy seller both handmade jewelry and vintage pieces, hope someday I will be able to have my own store. Good luck.

What a awesome journey Hollie and Jane. Starting on Etsy was a smart move. I’m always amazed how some jewelry designers have a slow start or never get out of the gate and how some skyrocket to fame almost overnight. I think it’s important to have the discipline and comment to keep things going in any business. Creatively yours, jeannie

I have always wondered how to get going with an Etsy shop myself, and with so many varied interests, how to focus. This article is very inspiring! Thanks for posting it.
We vacationed on the Trent Severn this year and made a stop in Fenelon Falls, the vintage shops there had such different offerings and great prices from what we have here in Ohio. And a stop last week at the upscale flea market in Santa Monica had also different offerings, so I guess that you can just specialize in what is available in your own area, because they are all different, and consumers in another part of the country (ies) will find what you carry unique to them.

I’ve so enjoyed watching as White Elephant has grown- it’s a great example of “Just Doing It”. Thanks for this great post!
