What is Etsy.com?

OK, so I am being helpful? My daughters are artist, I am NOT! But I love them very much and want to support their passions. So I agreed to post treasury compliments to other artist on Etsy.com for one of my daughter's that is a ceramic artist. And then, all of a sudden. I was creating treasury's. It started out to be a lot of fun. I could go browse the web site and pick all the things that appealed to me and create a list. I did not have to spend any money, although I did, or put them someplace in my home, but somehow I owned these things I loved. It was very fulfilling! Apparently, my lack of artistic vision and poor taste in selections became a problem. REALLY LAUGHING AT MYSELF!

I understand why my daughter asked for my help. As a wife, mother and employed young woman, with a passion for ceramics, her days are pretty full. The last thing she has the luxury to do is spend hours on the computer, uninterrupted, searching Etsy's site to create treasuries or comment on other peoples treasuries. Etsy.com is a community of sellers helping promote each others work to create sales. This is accomplished through treasuries which highlight other artist work not your own. The community of artist then creates a treasury promoting your work in return. That is where I came in to help. I created treasuries and commented on other treasuries that the community had created. I have plenty of time so figured it was a perfect fit. Then I get an email telling me not to make any more treasuries until I speak with my daughter. I wonder why?

It turns out my picks, as the choice of products in a treasury are called, were too ME! They did not draw people to the earthy feel of her work. If you have never seen a treasury I will give you a link to one that created the buzz, memories and regrets . I am LAUGHING AT MYSELF; what was I thinking? I am in my sixties. What young person would name a treasury "Memories and regrets". I found out the title of the treasury was not the problem.
