Dear EtsyRain,Words cannot express how fun it was to get that package from you!! We all stood around squealing and gasping and unwrapping and trying things on. We spread it out all over our meeting tables and were so amazed by the quality of work and thought you put into all these items. It was such a great time! You guys really put a lot of time and effort into this package and we're so so so grateful. Everything was done up so lovely too - loved all the little details.

We aren't entirely sure what we will do with all these things yet! We might donate it to a charity that we work with or maybe we can find ways to send them in our press packages and try to get you guys some press! We've already been fighting about who will get to have what haha, so instead of us taking these items home to keep we thought it would be good to share the wealth.Well thank you again for your generosity. What FUN! Here's to another amazing year working together! And good luck with your future promotions/meetings/shows!

Love, ETSY!!!!!

We knew we were going to be featured before the package went off but one had nothing to do with the other. Our was a package sent from delight to have such a great team with etsy as our common thread FOR A WHOLE YEAR ALREADY!!!

My 1st birthday with the Team is August 11. Pretty soon now...

Speaking of Street Teams...

Seattle's awesome Etsy Street Team, EtsyRain has a new logo:

We have our own website (that's currently directed back to our blog) at: http://www.etsyrain.com/

There you can find all of the awesome EtsyRain team members shops, how to join our great group if you are an etsy seller in the greater Seattle area and a link back to our very active MeetUp site and calendar.

It will show you where to find us "at large" in the Puget Sound area and even has an etsy shop feature determined by birthday. (look for mine in the June blogs)

This is such a welcoming, cohesive and active group. I'm honored to be a part of it!

Don't miss the shops of Meghan, our Logo Designer Extraordinaire

The Sampler, part deux

The fabulous EtsyRain team, aka: etsy Seattle Street Team did a collective donation to the sampler of more than 200 pieces!
Look at some of the awesome goodies:


That's me on the cone near the center of the picture.

It was really hard to come up with something that shows my work yet is still one of a kind and recycled, reused. My things just aren't intended to be duplicated.

I ended up making pendants by taking apart a long piece of crystal chain I had and adding different recycled pieces to the bottom of each one. They were similar, but different.

My understanding was that they sold out right away! Yay EtsyRain!
