I know that many of us have our own little businesses going on here. Some of us do photography, others sell on Etsy. I think it's time for a bit of self-promotion. Tell us what you do and where we can find you if we want to buy something. I'll start . . .
I retired from teaching about 4 years ago and discovered the world of selling on Ebay. I just love it! I get to make all the decisions by myself, on my own time. I am doing very well. I sell beautiful Karen Neuburger pajamas (remember Oprah's "favorite" things). I also sell beautiful women's clothing in all sizes. I have many plus sized items. Take a look at:
stores.ebay.com/zztop11
Who is next???

I love buying handmade! I've already bookmarked this thread so I can come back to it as we get closer to the holidays. I have two Etsy shops. Lemon Love Paperie offers handmade paper crafted goodies and Lemon Love Print Shop offers digital invitations and gift tags. I'll be busy this month creating and posting new inventory for both shops.

I use ricebran oil, palm oil, olive oil, castor oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, avocado oil. Not all in the same bar but those are the ones I stick to. I also add some kaolin clay, silk, colloidal oatmeal I'll have to add them to my listings. Never even thought of that. Thanks

I'm patiently waiting (hoping!) you'll sell prints for the buttons piece you did. I really, really want it. I have your HP wands framed and ready to be hung in our dining room (we're creating a HP gallery wall).

This is a great idea! I love surfing Etsy and Ebay.
I look for cool items at thrift stores etc. to redo, like lamps to repaint or patina and resell on ebay and Etsy. I don't have anything right now, but I'm working on a new patina technique and will have some things to sell soon.
I also resell china, silverplate, etc. but can get better prices reselling to Replacements than I can online. I just found a bicentennial Fenton glass compote that was selling on Replacements for $100. I paid $5, so getting $30-$50 would be fabulous.
I want to start selling homemade cards, paper ephemera, etc. but haven't gotten enough to open a shop yet.
I love looking through what the peas sell because it gives me cool ideas and inspiration! I'd also rather buy from somebody I know.
I want one of those rings made out of quarters if anyone does those. I found a card that my dad sent me in college. He was joking around complaining about the long distance bill, so he mailed me a quarter!

I have several of your prints. Didn't you do one of brooches, or was it buttons? Or both? Either way, I remember when you posted the pics that I knew I wanted it. So, please list!

I'd like to find someone that works with that colored clay (polymer?) to make some tiny animals as ornaments. It's near impossible to find a good hamster one.

Freebies, where do you get your prints printed? Or do you do it yourself? I want to do a few to sell locally (in the UK) but I don't know how to go about it .

I love angieh1996 soaps. Going to look at some for Christmas gifts. My stuff is not homemade but I am part of the Youngevity family and one of our newest lines is Mialisia, versastyle jewelry. You can see it (and all my other lines) at my site, www.wendyClifton.youngevity.com. Click on the shop, brand Mialisia and you can see it all. ETA - I forgot I was planning on making these to sell. They are Hershey Nuggets. I can do up to 8 nuggets (including the Merry Christmas). I'll take orders up to Thanksgiving and then will order the wrappers and have them done within about 2 weeks. They are $.50 per nugget/letter. I will also have one that says HoHoHo w/the Merry Christmas nugget or a Santa nugget (your choice).

There is such a push against it at the moment , it could affect your sales. It's all over my facebook at the moment ( I admit I knew nothing about this issue until a couple of days ago.)

Designs by DareyaI design jewelry. I also teach bead weaving and am currently working on my first gallery showing. My pieces are due at the end of December so I am trying to get them done. I'm not great at putting up the prices and it isn't very organized (a lot of it has been sold) but if you see something or want something made, I do a lot of custom orders.

You can get giclees/prints made but dang they are so expensive! I do it myself, I have a wide format archival printer/inks. I print on watercolor rag paper and then spray with a uv archival spray. I then bag everything so they stay clean.

Oh, I love looking at all your beautiful creations!! Unfortunately, I was born without a creative gene in my body. I am, however, an independent consultant with Jamberry Nails. I'm not one of those that are out to get people to join my team. I fell in love with the product and sell it just to satisfy my addiction to their products lol. If you are interested, you can see my page at susandietrich.jamberry.com.
