Finding A Treasure

[wlotus]

My Etsy shop is part of the Photographers of Etsy (POE) Street Team, and I am responsible for putting together daily lists of the Etsy treasuries which feature POE members' work. Other POE team members send treasury links to me, I compile the list, and then I send it to the team. In the process of receiving the links, I sometimes have interesting conversations with other team members. I also get to have a first glance at my fellow team members' work before the rest of the team does.

Yesterday I received a link about King, a 5x7 photographic note card. I took one look at the photo, fell in love with it, and bought it on the spot. The shop owner was thrilled by the quick sale to a fellow team member. I can hardly wait to receive it; I know just the person to use it for!

Hey I meant to ask. how is Etsy going for you, for selling photos? I was thinking of opening up a shop to sell cards and stuff. That group sounds pretty cool. Is it actually related to Etsy or something separate that someone else started?

I've done well, to just be starting out as a serious entrepreneur.

POE is a team made up of Etsy sellers. The group was formed to help photographers have more of a presence on Etsy, since most of Etsy is not geared towards photography. We have a blog and put on a monthly slide show on YouTube to help get the word out about us. It's a good networking tool for us, too.

Hmmm. Thanks. Maybe this weekend I will set up a shop.

That is quite the treasure! What an amazing group of photographers you're associated with! I'm even more envious! I have to stay away from these links or else I'll end up buying something too. :/ I can't be splurging! But the temptation is so there.

Etsy is really cool. I like the pic of King, and I'm glad he found a place in a wildlife refuge.

I love the golden farm shot.

You have some lovely stuff up at Etsy that I hadn't seen before. I'm particularly fond of the Snow in the Park shot -- that makes me think of snuggling up under a quilt with a cup of hot chocolate and watching the snow fall. I like pictures that tell a story or make me feel something.
