Meet Etsy Seller Juguetes Eloisa
Posted Wednesday, March 18, 2015
Today we would like to introduce you to
Etsy shop Juguetes Eloisa
Juguetes Eloisa has been selling on Etsy since May 2014, they sell beautiful waldorf wooden toys, handmade ecofriendly natural toys!! Today they are going to give us a little peak behind the scenes of their Etsy shop.
 |  |  |  |
What motivated you to start your shop?
I think it was that, almost always I looked on the internet for new ideas on wooden toys, they turned out to be products on etsy. I started looking at all children products on Etsy and I really loved the designs, and I really wanted to be part of it.
What is the story behind your shop name?
The name means "Eloisa Toys". This is because I started doing toys first only as gifts for my daughter, Eloisa. When I realized I could sell them, Juguetes Eloisa felt just right as a name for my shop. After all, the toys I make are alll inspired by her.
What surprised you most about having your own craft / online shop?
I think I have been very lucky, because what most surprise me is how thankful the buyers are. When I contact them and they reply, or when they leave a review they always seem to be so happy for buying my toys that it really makes me happy! I never expected to be so involved with the buyer, really.
What is your favourite creations from your shop?
"This is really a hard one, as there is no one single creation I upload to Etsy that I do not like. But I think I will choose the puzzle tree with a rabbit and a turtle on it.
I love this item, was the first I ever design; it was for my daughter's birthday. Since then I had change some lines and some colors, so now the design is even more beautiful than before."
What do you find most challenging about being an Etsy seller?
I think the most challenging part about selling on etsy is the not knowing what will come next, is this week going to be a relaxed one, or is it that tomorrow there is going to be a new huge order? or a really challenging custom order? This keeps things really fun all the time.
Please tell us a little about the children's items market / handmade movement in your Country?
In Chile the children's item market is growing really fast, specially all baby related products. Nonetheless, I think we still have a long way in order to appreciate the extra cost it involves buying handmade products. As it is now, it is really a challenging market, as there are a lot of chinese products that are offered at prices no one can compete with. But it is starting to grow on people the wanting for national and handmade products, so I hope this only gets better for us!

Meet Etsy Seller MerinoAngel
Posted Wednesday, March 11, 2015
Today we would like to introduce you to
Etsy shop MerinoAngel
MerinoAngel has been selling on Etsy since August 2011, they sell beautiful mobiles, decorations, rugs, angels and pom poms! Today they are going to give us a little peak behind the scenes of their Etsy shop.
 |  |  |  |
What motivated you to start your shop?
A friend, who suggested that I could sell my creations in the first place also told me about Etsy. I loved the look, feel and concept of Etsy and liked the idea of having an online 'shop' presence in addition to what I made wholesale for retailers and sold at markets stalls.
What is the story behind your shop name?
I organised to have my first market stall literally a week before hand and I hadn't yet given my business a name. At the time I was only selling individual angel decorations and angel mobiles all made from Merino wool so 'Merino Angel' it simply became and has since remained!
What surprised you most about having your own craft / online shop?
The reality that we live in an era where its possible and people want to buy my work!
What is your favourite creations from your shop?
I have to say I do enjoy making all my creations from individual decorations and garlands to mobiles and rugs. However, if I had to choose, I think it would be the mobiles because they just take on this life of their own once hung.
What's your personal philosophy behind your shop / products?
I take pride in creating something that is entirely my own, unique design and exactly how I want it to be....right down to the style and quality of the gift packaging. My aim is to offer hand made luxury items, through simple yet heartfelt design, for people to decorate their homes and lives with and especially to bring a little bit of magic and delight to their children :-)
What do you do when you aren't working?
I have two children, a 5 year old girl and 1 year old boy, which keep me busy along with house work etc!! I like to surf and sail but since we moved back to England from Australia a couple of years ago and are landlocked that doesn't happen as much as I would like. Instead I enjoy swimming, yoga, pilates and I love to paint when I get the time!
