Meet the Team

Inland NW Etsy Team Holiday Show from Brian Chace on Vimeo.
This video is my quick (30 seconds each) take on 20 of my teammates on the Inland Northwest Etsy team. It's about discovering new talent, which I think is one of Etsy's strong suits in the online marketplace. Developing talent. Belonging to a team. If you have an Etsy shop, but you are not on a team, I hope this video moves you toward finding one. If you would like to check out their shops, here they are in the order of appearance on the video:

Handmade Holidays Trunkshow

   20 of my best friends on Etsy will be gathering to do a collective trunk show of our wares on Saturday, December 3rd. We found a great location for the event in Spokane, the Service Station, which is a popular Northside coffee shop. If you are in Spokane, I hope you will come to the show and say "Hi." All of us will have special items that you don't see in our Etsy shops. Everyone who brings a food bank donation will be entered to win a gift basket full of wonderful items from all of us.

   I am busy making up reading glass cases, key ring zip pouches, fingerless mitts, and other small stocking stuffer items to sell there. I will also have my jackets from Brandybuck and my menswear.

   Yoga is now taking up my blogging time, so that is why I have been away from posting so long. We will be in Seattle for Thanksgiving and checking out the hot yoga studio that is near my sister's house. I will post about that adventure.

Introducing Creativity is Messy

Tera, the woman behind CreativityisMessy, makes so many wonderful treasuries, you will be glad to add her to your circle on Etsy and watch her favorites and treasuries. She has a great eye and is always delighting me with her fabulous finds. Here are some goodies from her shop:

Notice how Tera is on top of Etsy trends in her shop offerings too. I have had the pleasure of spending a little time with Tera in person. She is just as gracious, beautiful and smart as can be. What a treasure.

Introducing Kilted Woman

Lori made that treasury for me. She is another of my wonderful Inland Northwest teammates. Lori has a passion for Scotland and makes beautiful jewelry and a fun variety of things. Here is her profile statement from Etsy:
I am married to a Scotsman and enjoy traveling to Scotland to take pictures and pick up treasures on the beach. I also enjoy highland dancing and learning gaelic. I have been a nurse for 20 years and very much enjoy making these little crafts in my free time.
I enjoy having Lori on the team. She is a supportive teammate and always nice to everyone.
