As we teased you with in yesterday's post....
We are starting a new series!
We ask Etsy sellers questions.
They give us answers.
We post them here.
With one pic per day, as an extra bonus.
Exciting stuff!!!
Today's Question of the Day:
1) What do you want customers to know about your shop?
Do you have any upcoming releases planned? Any exciting news around the corner?
Okay, technically that was three questions. But ssshhhssshhhh.
Our answer: While we did TRY to start a shop up, we currently are not running one. :'-(
BUT!
We will be posting about the shop we did make, so you guys can learn about it if you have no clue what we are talking about, haha. And you can find out the types of things we were selling in it, and where we found those items. :-)

Pippaloo's Answer
"Pippaloo offers realistic polymer clay food for American Girl dolls. I release new items every month on the 15th at 12:00 noon EST...with the exception of next month-in December. I always move the date up a few days early in December to allow a little extra time for packages to arrive for the holiday.
Usually around the first week of each month I will post a menu list on my blog of the foods that will be available that coming 15th- that way you can get an idea of what types of foods there will be. In January of the new year I will resume listing new items on the 15th at 12:00 noon EST."
Cupcake Cutie Pie's Answer
"I've been designing new patterns for Simplicity this year. We currently have three that are available: 1486, 1220, 1089 and another four that should be released in 2016."
Closet 4 Chloe's Answer
"I would like my customers to know how much I appreciate them and thank them for supporting my shop. I have lots of fun new pieces planned so keep an eye on my shop."
123 Mulberry Street's Answer
"My shop is a good mix of trendy and traditional for all types of American Girl Dolls.
My most exciting news is that 4 of my Sweater sets are going to be in DOLLS Magazine! Yea ! Canadian Doll Designer Kim Arnold is featuring them on her beautiful dolls. Check her out at The Trinket Box."
Dollhouse Designs' Answer
"Dollhouse Designs is a very beloved endeavor for me. My little company allows me to care for my little family by working from home while using my creative and artistic abilities. It completely makes my day when one of my patterns or items brings happiness or joy to someone.
I am so excited about future projects!! I am developing a few HAIR related projects that will be available early next year involving DIY pattern guides for making wigs and hairpiece accessories for dolly hair. These are a little different and I think people will really like them.
There will also be some new designs for patterns (and some outfits available) plus I am working on outfits for some of the Tonner dolls like Evangeline Ghastly & Ellowyne as well as Disney dolls."
Noodle Clothing's Answer
"Despite starting to make patterns to sell, I still intend to sew for my shop. I
like to do a mix of separates and complete outfits so there should be something
for everyone. The next pattern that I want to do is for the white coat that is in my
most repinned outfit on Pinterest."
Whoa It's Me's Answer
"Although I have been selling on Etsy since 2009, for a couple of reasons I was mostly inactive for the past year. I am now sewing regularly again, and eager to greatly expand the selection in my shop, focussing on current fashion trends. I have lots of interesting ideas in the works for Whoa It's Me.
Also, almost all of my items have been one-of-kind, and I have had to disappoint customers because of this. I am going be more flexible in this regard, so my shop will have greater availability of some items.
I would also like to mention that all profits generated by my shop are used to support women in developing countries who sew to support their families. This is possible by making small micro-finance loans through Kiva.org. So when you buy from my shop, you may be helping a single mom in El Salvador send her kids to school!"
Dollicious Clothes' Answer
"I am the sewer and designer but I can't do this alone. My husband is my fabric cutter, organizer, photographer and runs the shop. My daughter is working with us part time as my assistant. My newest interest was sparked by a customer request for a boy outfit. I now have two boy models and I'm beginning to indulge into the boy clothing too."
Party With Felt's Answer
"I love my little corner of the market - Fun Hair Accessories for dolls -
just like a little girl would wear!"
QTpie Doll Clothing's Answer
"I love designing current fashion and I love AG dolls. I love the challenge of making my designs look like they were shrink with a shrink ray."
Mia Kate Apparel's Answer
"I am not a perfect seamtress, but I strive to do good work on the clothes I have to offer in MiaKateApparel. I make clothes from both new and second hand materials. Each purchase is packaged with care and great excitement! I don't really list my items in big releases at this point....when I have time and fabric and inspiration I sew a few things and then list them in my shop."
The Glam Doll's Answer
"Well, I would like customers to know that every item is made by me. I am truly passionate about the items that I create. Every collection feels like it is about to be shown on a runway. There will be an upcoming release titled, Songbird, that is set to be released on Black Friday."
Clarisse's Closet's Answer
"We just introduced our 'THEO' line for boys this fall, so keep an eye out for more boy items in our next collection!"
