April Listing Challenge- Day 1

I decided to join this cool April Listing Club created by redbirdjewellery. The goal of this listing club is to list a new item everyday in April to your shop. This has always been my goal, but something always seems to come up or I have so many things to do that it seems like an impossible task. I'm hoping this April Listing Challenge will be my motivation this month and every month after that.

Here is a link to the official thread where to will find a list of all the lovely items listed: http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6481706

Orange Flower Button Hair Pins

Spotlight Interview: Isabelle's Attic

Vintage Floral Dress

So tell us a little about your shop and what you sell...
Hi I'm Isabelle's Attic and I have a shop that has Unique Findings. At my store you'll be able to find: animal beanies, baby items, reversible aprons/hats/purses, vintage items and more. I'm always trying to make new crafts, so make sure to keep checking!

Where did you get your etsy shop name from?
My etsy store name came from my biggest inspiration my grandmother Isabel, she was a housewife and did sewing for the family. She could take a piece of fabric and make the most beautiful dresses that you could image. I always looked forward to seeing her finished product.

In Love Reversible Purse

Why did you start selling on Esty?
I was once doing a part time job and during break someone saw me sewing on beads on a corset I was making for myself, a few people asked me if I would ever sell it, I said I only sewed as a hobby and never sold. A girl then suggested to me I should look into etsy, after researching, I thought why not give it a try.

Where do you get inspiration for the items in your shop?
My inspiration sometimes just comes from seeing seeing different fabrics, jewels etc...like my most recent creation with the plaid Mickey fabric I just though wouldn't it be cute to see a baby wearing little booties and a little flannel mouse beanie to compliment it.

I Am Mickey

How do you keep yourself motivated to keep on selling even if times are slow?
It took me about 2 months to get my 1st sale, I kept reading the etsy news letters that were sent to me and one day I stumbled onto the forums. The forums is what kept me going the most, I've chatted with some lovely etsy members that have been so motivating, meanwhile also seeing there talents in addition to also receiving good advice to continue to improve.

What are your biggest goals for 2010?
My biggest goal on etsy, I would love to reach 100 sales :o). I will also be in the process of learning how to make cloth dolls, so stay tuned!

Baby Monkey Beanie

What is your most popular item?(Either by most views or most sales)
My most viewed items at the moment are my 2 vintage dresses, I just love vintage. The animal beanies have also been popular, uniqueness for just a small price.

Lucy Dress

Is there anyone or anything else you'd like to tell us about?
My mom is also a great sewer whom I am constantly learning and getting new ideas from, as the saying goes "2 heads are better than 1".

Wednesday Spotlight Feature: Interview with Amy from ArtofAmy

Rocking Horsefly

So tell us a little about your shop and what you sell...
My Etsy Store is full of my original paintings, prints and handmade paper crafts, from Seasonal Postcards to Gifts for Mom, with each item featuring my own artwork. All items are unique and created with enthusiasm and whimsy!

Where did you get your etsy shop name from?
Out of the Blue! I am an artist named Amy so artofamy seemed… appropriate, it is both explanatory and introductory!

Seasonal Postcards- Spring

Why did you start selling on Esty?
I started selling on Etsy after I came across the Etsy website and was blown away with the amount of creative ideas and unique items on it! I loved that everything was handmade. I just thought I'd like to be a part of this community too!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
Where do you get inspiration for the items in your shop?
I adore Fairytales and Nonsense, which is where a LOT of my inspiration comes from. Imagination echo’s in most things I do, so I thought I would put it to good use and create things I can share with others.

How do you keep yourself motivated to keep on selling even if times are slow?
I love creating and I love to share my creations whether they sell or not. Just having people stop by and have a look is enough motivation for me. A heart every now and then helps too… not to mention having a great partner who gives me strength and encouragement when I need it most.

Tending the Garden

What kind of mediums do you use and why?
I use acrylic paint, its fast, solid and good quality. I always have new things I want to paint, so this is the most efficient medium for me when it comes to my Artwork.

What are your biggest goals for 2010?
To make my FIRST sale! …and from there, to keep people interested and keep my store alive!

What is your most popular item?(Either by most views or most sales)
My Carnival Print seems get the most views. This piece features a cute girl in a white dress next to a merry-go-round giraffe. My Mother's Day gift sets are getting a nice amount of views too!

Mother's Day Gift Set 

Carnival Print

Is there anyone or anything else you'd like to tell us about?
