In 2007, I stumbled upon Etsy while browsing for jewelry ideas and thought it would be fun to sell my own jewelry. My only goal was to sell enough jewelry to keep me in my buying habit, which had seriously gotten out of hand!
When I sold my first piece of jewelry 2 weeks after opening my shop, I knew that this was my future. I found that I loved all aspects of running my own business; from making the jewelry, photographing it, communicating with my customers, and most surprising to me, the sales and marketing of my company.
