MEET US AT THE FAIR!

If you're like me I love this time of year when the weather cools and bring out craft fairs and farmers markets. Which made me think that many of us on the Etsy Twitter Team (ETT) have been talking about the up coming shows we are having. With over a 1,000 readers and approx 100 shops I thought about how much I would love to meet some more of our members. So I asked the team to send me a list of Craft shows/farmers markets that they will be doing in the next few months.

If you have never been to a craft show/farmers market I highly suggest going to check them out. You can not only meet our sellers, Etsy Twitter Team, but you can talk to them one on one about their craft and products.

My DH, Joe and I go to a farmers market every Sunday and when we do we meet and find the most amazing things. I have even started my holiday shopping. My biggest surprised was to already have found one of my "hard to buy for" gifts.

Please come meet the following sellers during the month of September:

Etsy OWLS Trunk Show!!

The Etsy Twitter Team is teaming up once again to cross promote another Etsy Street Team! This time it is with the Etsy Off The Wall Ladies (OWLS) whose focus is, well, everything! This street team is for wild and crazy Etsyians who don't always walk the straight and narrow! Fun! Fun! I thought this would be fitting because we use the blue tweety Twitter bird a lot and OWLS are birds, too. Hoot hoot! Ok, I probably didn’t have to explain that. Just sayin’.

I digress!

The Scoop: They are having a big Etsy-style Trunk Show on Wednesday, August 19th from 7:00 to 8:30 pm EST in the Etsy Virtual Labs (room TBA). Lots of great items will be featured and tons of free stuff and swag will be awarded! Don’t want to miss the swag, do you?

What's a trunk show? In this case, a trunk show is an online craft show, with sellers showcasing a variety of items. Participating sellers will be offering special discounts in their shops, and the team will also be giving away a variety of "door" prizes throughout the show.

It's never too early to get started on holiday shopping or buy yourself a little something special either. Avoid the retail madness and support the handmade movement.

So go set that calendar alarm on your iPhone, put a Post-it next to your monitor, write it on your hand, or yell it from the rooftops. You. Do. Not. Want. To. Miss. It.
