Tag Your It! Tagging and Etsy!

YarnWyrkz, a wonderful Utah Etsy member, suggested that we start tagging our items UtahEtsy. This is an excellent suggestion and will help our team to support one another and buy local or UTAH first!

YarnWyrkz says:
"That way we can appeal to the "shop local" campaign that seems to be so popular these days. I know that if I have a choice and I'm going to buy something anyway, I would just assume buy it from an etsyutah team member."

Wonderful suggestion, so when all of you members get a free minute be sure to update your tags or simply add the tag as you list!

YarnWyrks is also working on setting up a Yahoo group for our team as well. We'll keep you updated once the group gets started!

Holiday Items and Specials!

First let me say how excited the team is to be up and running I'm adding new members to the team weekly. Be sure to keep an eye out for a link to your shop. We have such an amazing pool of artists here in Utah.

I sent a call out for holiday items and AjJewelry was quick to respond. Her shop features amazing handmade glass beads, full of fun and spunk! Be sure to drop by her shop and take a peek! Her holiday beads are currently 20% off!
