It's so good to see Etsy in the Martha limelight. Keep it up everyone !
Uh...I meant "now." Duh.
Aha! This is a great video. It figures that Fellini was involved.
As the founder and leader of Etsy Dallas, the official Etsy team for the metroplex, I love that I know have an answer to the ever-ubiquitous question: "Um, so what does Etsy mean, anyway?"
"I dunno" was never much of a "leader-y" type answer.
Yours In Craft,
Stephanie

I've watched ETSY evolve over the last year and they have made amazing and monumental strides. I finally opened my shop in Feb. and am looking forward to a good home for my creativity. I've been around the block with selling in retail stores for years and many other venues, and this is the best concept so far.
