Oh Trades, How I Love Thee....


Sales have been a bit slow lately, and while I am jewelry-rich and cash-poor I've been seeking trades with other handmade sellers for gift and supply items. I've traded many items with fellow Etsians since setting up shop in early 2008 with great results. My most recent trade was with FairyCake on MadeItMyself--I will be receiving this adorable blueberry muffin pincushion, and we will both have the opportunity to gain valuable seller feedback for our shops on this new selling venue!

Adorable pin cushion! I love trades, too. It always feels like a special treat when I get that trade package in the mail.

I haven't done a trade yet because I'm a little scared. I don't know why but I am.

Hey there! I have traded with this gal, what a nice seller. I also particpiated in the trade and stay event that just took place. I encourage everyone to try it at least once. Coming up I will be posting a list of trade-friendly shops on my blog, as well as talk about trading and fun stuff related to that!
