I love Regretsy, I advertise on there!
Regretsy is hilarious, made my day.

Etsy is fun to brouse through, some stuff is outrageous. Some peeps got the concept of home made whatever vs hand made art confused. Any creativity is good though..

Re: Any Etsy Sellers in the Zurich area?

I'm a huge fan of etsy and would also be interested in a get-together. I've been considering starting a shop once the holidays are over.

Re: Any Etsy Sellers in the Zurich area?

i like etsy for the originality and huge amount of choices, as well as the chance to buy from independant artists.

i have bought a ton on etsy- and have a bunch of friends who sell their work on it as well. while some of the stuff is crazy and hysterical, i've found some really creative and talented artists. for my wedding in july, a fellow etsy friend made my dress- nothing like getting a custom designed and fitted dress without going thru sales people, stores and the like. it was great because we were able to go to the fabric district in nyc together and hand pick all of the materials. and it cost so much less.

if there is an etsy meeting in zurich i'd hop on a train and meet up just to be around some crafty peeps! i've seen shops in the states that choose a few etsy sellers and carry mostly only etsy wears- maybe a craft collective is a possibility here in c.h!

I've glanced at your shops but it seems like you guys are mainly into jewelry. Do any of you knit? We want to buy some winter hats and/or scarves for the Praktikantins in our kids' Chrippe for Christmas. Would be good to support someone from here.
I saw another post on this forum from a woman who is selling her hand-knitted creations:

Hand-knitted accessories for sale

Re: Any Etsy Sellers in the Zurich area?

Hmmm . . . Etsy doesn't make it easy to search for sellers in a particular location. I was only able to search based on people who'd ship to Switzerland and I'm not really interested in shipping a cake from the US to here.

I'd love to find some people selling food from Switzerland on Etsy. Has anyone seen any of these?

Re: Any Etsy Sellers in the Zurich area?

Etsy did a pretty good storque article on swiss sellers this year:
http://www.etsy.com/storque/spotligh...iragrant-4040/

I sell my work through etsy, although my shop is low on stock at the moment.

I'll be moving to Staefa in March, and would be interested in a zurich meet-up.

Dear Swisspea,

When will this gathering be? I am also an Etsy seller but from Basel.I still haven't started selling my own crafts ... not so much time dedicated to it I'm afraid!
In my Etsy shop there are only vintage cooking and craft books. Feel free to take a look!

http://www.etsy.com/shop/HouseOfSparrows

Wishing all a super, good weekend,

Handmade hugs,

Ana

Re: Any Etsy Sellers in the Zurich area?

Just moved to Switzerland, had a very busy p2p & online business on my own back in the USA. Been considering an Etsy store to reach my previous customers back in the USA - are you getting many orders from Switzerland??
Very curious thanks!

Re: Any Etsy Sellers in the Zurich area?

I would just like to thank and recommend tortillaloaves for her beautiful handmade jewelry that I purchased from her Etsy shop this weekend! It was a great treat in my mailbox thanks for the quick delivery and the beautiful contents inside.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work and buying from you in the future!
