chakra pennywhistle was first hearted by green eyed girls
paisley baby's first heart came from lisabug
well it's heart-week all around us in cyberspace, and while the jury may be out on valentine's day (waddaya think: good or bad?) one thing's for certain: if you're an etsy-an, *hearts* have a special place in your own heart!
oh hearts: those little things on etsy that sellers swoon over. that sweet little way to show you just love & adore something someone else has made.
yes a heart, when you *favourite* someone on etsy, is a wonderful little way to spread handmade love! and as my own etsy-versary approaches next week, i thought we'd take a trip down memory lane.
you might recall last year i put a call out to all of you: who was your first heart? who was that first etsy shop or etsy-an that hearted your brand new little shop!?
my own tale was similar to many of yours... after a trepidatious (hmmm.. fake word?) beginning, i finally listed my first item on etsy, 3 months after joining.
gosh, was i nervous!
terrified was i!
and then, like a reassuring little cyberly cheer, someone, someone i didn't know at all, *hearted* my little shop!
*swoon!*
fireworks exploded in my little handmaking heart!
and i was smitten!
and oh so thankful! i'm eternally grateful to my own first hearter: the lovely oh the cuteness, and i thought today i'd feature some of yours! thanks to everyone who responded.
and thanks to all of the hearters out there!
now, 9000+ hearts later, i still remember all of those early early folks who sent a heart my way, and i'm so very very thankful!
they mean so much, somehow, don't they?
first hearts: like first loves, we'll never forget them, will we!
who was your first? :)
(ps: you can find your 1st heart by going to craftcult.com, and searching for your store hearts, then scrolling back to the last page!)
