Starting an Etsy Business - FRIDAY FINDS!

Etsy is a community of crafters. One of the best ways to promote your own Etsy shop is to make connections with other Etsy sellers. Other Etsy sellers can offer advice on how to promote your listings, inspire you to create new items, and can offer you cute items to add to your own personal collection!

Starting this week, my Friday blog posts will be a review of another Etsy store that I love!  Usually, this review will be from an Etsy shop that I have either personally purchased an item from, or have been gifted an item from.

This week I would like to feature Jolene Elizs’ Stitches!  Jolene is a friend of mine who recently moved out to San Diego.  When she arrived, she started to dramatically rev up her Etsy business (www.etsy.com/shop/JoleneElizsStitches).

Jolene Elizs’ Stitches features unique hand-crochet items, including bowls, baskets, blankets, bracelets, decorative flowers and pet costumes.  Her designs are adorable, and her work is very high quality.

I recently purchased and received this amazing crochet pumpkin basket!

Unfortunately for you, this basket was one of a kind and I got it! However, the construction is very similar to Jolene Elizs’ Stitches other crochet bowls and baskets. Jolene uses two different strands of yarn for the base of her baskets and bowls to ensure that they remain sturdy. 

The shipping on this item from San Diego to Massachusetts was fast. Jolene Elizs’ Stitches packed my pumpkin basket in a sturdy box, so that it maintained its structure during the shipping process. I would definitely recommend that you check out her Etsy shop at (www.etsy.com/shop/JoleneElizsStitches) and like her Facebook fan page at (www.facebook.com/JoleneElizsStitches) for all of your customized crochet needs!
