spotlight on....

1. tell us your name and the name of your etsy shop.

I am Amy H. Kalinchuk, M.A. My etsy:


2. where do you live and what do you like about it?

I live in Denver, Colorado. I like the mountain views and the relatively mild weather here. I also have a ton of friends who are wonderful and don't suck my energy.

3. what do you sell and why is it amazing?

In my etsy shop, I will sell sewed items, such as the zipper pouches that are featured there right now. I may sell my soaps (www.soapcrone.com) at various times. I am enjoying the sewing right now--this is my "fun" outlet. I am pricing things to make money, as I don't see the point in having something for sale if I'm not going to make a decent profit. I will, however, continue to sell things on etsy--it's a great marketplace. I've sold several books already,and I hope to have my first crafty sale soon.

The items I sew are amazing because of the fabrics, and because I actually did something fun for a change, instead of working 800 jobs. I am very overworked. Therefore, they are also amazing because they exist. *snorts at self*

4. what do you like about etsy?

I like the elegant feel of etsy, and that the community there truly supports buying handmade. The people who shop there value handmade goods, which is good for everyone's business. I also like how big it is--it comes up on google searches all the time! That is also good for business.

5. who are some of your favourite sellers on etsy? and give me links
