(“i saw mommy kissing santa claus” – a few of my favorite handmade things on Etsy)
I’ve been selling my paintings and handmade things for about two years at local markets and online via my Etsy shop – and I have learned A LOT about having a small (art + handmade) business; I definitely respect all of the talented artists and craftsman who are successful in supporting themselves with their craft. each year, we make a concerted effort to buy from local and handmade businesses for our holiday shopping, whenever possible – I would love to hear if you do too; where do you shop? what do you buy?
THANK YOU!
As an artist & handmade business-owner, I am SO thankful to everyone who supports my work throughout the year. I enjoy meeting people when I am at arts & craft shows, and I have a lot of fun sending things off to online buyers in the mail (I had two packages go overseas this year, with one to Australia!).
I just want to send a big “thank you” to all of my friends, customers, family (and anyone else taking the time to read along)!
