HANDMADE FOR THE HOLIDAYS
If you haven’t heard of Etsy yet, you will soon!
What is Etsy?
Etsy is the world's most vibrant handmade marketplace. They connect consumers with independent creators and designers to find the very best in handmade goods, while providing these artists with the technology and information they need to start and grow their own businesses.
Etsy is a community that actively supports one another in the shared goal of offering alternatives to mass-produced objects. Etsy works to highlight the true value of handmade goods and their creators and encourage awareness of the social and environmental implications of production and consumption. Etsy to was created in 2005 with the vision of reconnecting maker and consumer, and swing the pendulum back to a time when we bought our bread from the baker, food from the farmer, and shoes from the cobbler.
WHO IS ETSY S.B.?
Etsy S.B. is a “locals only” team of crafters and artists who sell on Etsy and are located in the Santa Barbara area.
What is an Etsy Team? Etsy Teams are smaller groups of organized Etsy members who network, share skills, and promote their shops and Etsy together. A Team forms around a shared location, a medium, or another interest. Etsy's 150+ teams make Etsy not just a marketplace of individuals, but an interconnected and diverse handcrafters' community. Teams are Etsy’s biggest and most creative grassroots engine!
Etsy S.B. will be putting together a series of fun events as a team and helping promote each others arty crafty work in various creative ways. Etsy S.B. will be hosting a series of open studios, trunk shows, a blog, workshops, plus participating as a team in craft fairs, and doing many fun crafty things!

Santa Barbara Featured in Current Edition of ReadyMade Magazine
Posted by Kristen
As an artist and creative person, ReadyMade is one of my favorite magazines. My friend Stephanie affectionately refers to it as "craft porn," and that pretty much sums up how I feel about it.
Last night when I got the latest edition in my mailbox, I ran to the bed to get my relax on (and get warm! I know it's Santa Barbara and all, but it's been c-c-c-old here lately!), and I flipped it open. I couldn't believe my eyes! Santa Barbara was the focus of the Place Setting feature!
I was so stoked to read about Santa Barbara in the way that I know and love it - a place that is home to so many heart and soul creative types. I feel so blessed to live here and to be part of the Santa Barbara creative community, and I am especially excited about this newly formed Santa Barbara Etsy Team!
PS - My bio is coming soon! I promise! :) but in the meantime, you can find out more about me on my blog, kristenwalker.com.
