Isn't that sweet?<br /><br />My first sale to someone new was shortly after that when someone bought one of my <A HREF="http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=9802301" REL="nofollow">sea glass</A> necklaces as a bridesmaid gift.

Michele is a lovely person and I've been a big fan of hers from the start. I love love love that she and you are connected in this way. it warms my heart and makes me smile. :)<br /><br />my 1st sale in my tanisalexis shop was to the sister of ebbandflo. Ebb was my neighbour and her sister bought a tiny canvas from me for Ebb's birthday. She even requested personal delivery and that was so much fun!! (to ebbandflo, not to sis who is located in scotland!LOL) I saw the 2 scottish sisters again just a couple weeks ago for a coffee. it's always fun to meet up with etsy mates. :) <br /><br />xoxoxotanisalexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386340529096231590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3075572792392160126.post-92020629102987456192009-04-24T08:31:00.000-04:002009-04-24T08:31:00.000-04:00I know just how you feel, it's exciting to sell yo...I know just how you feel, it's exciting to sell your stuff!!<br />Somebody chooses you!<br /><br />But... my fav is the feedback.

And fitting for me at this time...this week marks my first etsyversary as a seller :-) <br />My very first sale went to an extremely friendly & talented etsian, Loopy4Ewe and I do remember the joy and nervousness it brought as I had only shared my papercrafts with family and friends until then. I would encourage anyone to visit http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5068244 loopy's shop for quality goods!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009958969135170462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3075572792392160126.post-75727821683628746642009-04-23T14:20:00.000-04:002009-04-23T14:20:00.000-04:00What a wonderful memory rikrak!!
My 1st Etsy sale...What a wonderful memory rikrak!!<br /><br />My 1st Etsy sale was to a woman in San Francisco. It was not quite a year ago so it's still vivid in my mind. It was about 3 weeks after I opened my shop (it seemed like an eternity at the time). I believe I was floating on air that day and my whole family was right along with me. At the time, I was selling my own handmade lampwork pendants and it was so special to think she would be wearing my jewellery so far away. I think what was even better was her emails to me. She is such a sweet person. My first sale was also her first purchase on etsy so we were both newbies. It was also special because it was one of the first things she had bought for herself for a long time so it meant alot to her.<br /><br />It still brings a huge smile to my face just thinking about it.<br /><br />Thank you for the memories! You just totally reminded me why I do this. :)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17671401385892104004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3075572792392160126.post-68123294894694300872009-04-23T12:55:00.000-04:002009-04-23T12:55:00.000-04:00That's such a nice tribute, RR!

I've only had 10 sales, but each is reason for a 'happy dance'. I too support the Etsy community and I try to buy when I have that bit of disposable income - I know how it makes my day and hope it too makes anothers. :-)OliveStreetStudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06988593412232029888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3075572792392160126.post-40564783191243698772009-04-23T10:44:00.000-04:002009-04-23T10:44:00.000-04:00that's wonderful. i did/do have many of the same f...that's wonderful. i did/do have many of the same feelings when i get a sale. :) i had many friends and fam who purchased my jewelry but the first day someone i didn't know purchased was one of the most exciting days. since then, i haven't had another 'stranger' person sale but i hope to soon! :)carollaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10480949219379425582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3075572792392160126.post-484293837116574872009-04-23T10:43:00.000-04:002009-04-23T10:43:00.000-04:00My first sale was actually to my birth mother.
