Saturday's Team Meeting

At our meetings, instead of just the usual introductions and agenda items, we are now incorporating some mini-workshops and games!  This way you not only get a lot of great info about the team and upcoming events, you also get great business tips and get to have some fun!  This Saturday's meeting included a mini-workshop on Line Sheets.  Before this meeting I had never even heard of a line sheet, have you?  They are a great tool for you to use when incorporating consignment and wholesaling into your business.  Thanks to Becka, Beth H, and Beth A for showing us some great examples of their line sheets!

So don't miss out on our next meeting, and if you have any ideas for fun activities or presentations you would like to share, let us know!

CRAFT has a Flickr pool!

Ok, probably everyone knew this except for me. I just realized today that one of my favorite blogs has a Flickr pool that anyone can upload any crafty thing to. And even better, they pick a few stand-outs every week to feature on the blog! How cool is that? Just wanted to make sure everyone knew about this opportunity to get your work in front of people. EtsyAustin needs to represent! : )

Check out this week's Flickr Pool Weekly Roundup. I mean, how cute & unique are those PB & J pillows from DiffractionFiber?!

It's Official! Etsy Austin Street Team is Here!

I was recently invited to join an exciting new Street Team on Etsy called Etsy Austin. It was started by Beth Hempton of Snuggle Herd. It’s just in the beginning stages, but I’m super-excited to be a part of this team! If you live in or around the Austin area, and you sell on etsy, then convo Beth on Etsy or send her an e-mail.

Here’s what she sent me:

Hi there fellow Etsy Austinite!
Want to help promote fellow Austin artists while drawing positive attention to yourself? Want a group to bounce ideas off of & be inspired by? Want to meet some new artsy-fartsy friends? SO DO I!!! Let’s join forces.

I would like to start an Austin-only Etsy team. There are so many great artists & crafters here that I would love to meet. Please pass it on to any fellow Austin crafters you are in contact with. If you are interested in joining this brand-spankin’ new Etsy team, please reply.

Thanks for your time & I hope you’ll join me!
Best wishes,
Beth
