Etsy Front Page
Posted under:
One of my favorite websites is Etsy – a place where, according to latest Alexa estimates, 5.8 million visitors go daily to buy, sell or just admire all things handmade and vintage. I have bought some items on Etsy and got some as gifts, but I also find inspiration in reading their blog and love browsing for cool new pieces of furniture, jewelry, clothing, etc.
I have written about creating Treasuries on Etsy before, and I still do it from time to time, whenever I feel like I need to jog the creative part of my brain a little.
Two days ago, I was feeling a bit restless so I ended up browsing on Etsy and came up with so many beautiful and interesting items that were just calling out to be combined together in a collection. Well, actually they were calling out to me to buy them, but since I am still in a financially-challenged period that wasn’t an option. But the alternative option is still loads of fun – combine them in a Treasury list on Etsy so other people can discover them as well, love them too and maybe even buy them. :) I saved the treasury and forgot all about it, until this afternoon when I started getting notifications about some people adding me to their circles (Yes, Etsy had circles before there was Google+) and I couldn’t understand what was happening until i went to the website and saw that my treasury from two days ago – Bold Statements – was on the Front Page!
Now, I know that this is not supposed to be a big deal, but somehow it made my day :) As this is the second time it happened, I guess I’ll just keep going and aim for some more Front Pages, just to see if I can do it…
