Friends, I am writing today to share some news. I have closed my Etsy shop for good.
It's not exactly a secret that I have viewed Etsy as a "necessary evil," and it is one that I have a fair amount of disdain for. Last week, when they sent me a notice that one of my original designs, (one that I have sold for over a decade) was being removed for violating some term of service (for which they provided NO information), I knew it was time. Oh, and incidentally, this design was previously featured BY ETSY in a digital mailing as a holiday bestseller.
So, there it is. Am I done with design? Nope. Just done with Etsy.
I will still be doing Artomat, my other other online marketplaces, and any other fun and shiny thing that captures my fancy. I am far too caffeinated, and far to ornery to sit still for too long.
I am going to take a bit of time away to regroup, and then move all of my existing designs to my own site.
Thank you all for being the absolute best supporters, friends and customers that any girl could ever have. Life often gives us detours, and I look forward to see where this one goes.
