In praise of a certain teammate

Leanna is one of the most prolifically talented people you will ever meet. An entrepreneur to the core with 3 shops. A busy family life which included the wedding of her daughter last week. Somehow she manages to also be one of the most helpful people you can find on Etsy. She is our team treasurer and a wonderful leader and inspiration to us all. Here she is in a treasury that made it to the front page last night. She is also a finalist in the best bustle gown in the world contest. Makes me wonder what other wonderful things are going on behind the scenes with Leanna. Congratulations, lady, on all of your success.

Team Meeting and Features of the Week

The shops represented above attended our monthly morning meeting in Etsy's chat rooms. We discussed the importance of shop profiles, and reviewed some tips for writing a good profile. We will be sharing our improvements with one another and asking for feedback on the Yahoo group. In this way, we can help one another with shop makeovers a small bit at a time.

Leanna was featured by the stately Estelle Barada who looks absolutley queenly in the skirt and bodice she bought from SeamsVictorian.

One of StudioCherie's customers printed her own time travel fabric to sew up a travel bag from Cherie's duffle pattern. I think her ingenuity deserves a blog link here.

Lastly, here is Cherie's houndstooth duffle on an Etsy homepage featured this week.
