Scrub Me Down with Some of This!

LusterCanyon's Soap that is!

A big Congratulations to Luster for being one of the 3 winners in our Summer Beach Contest! Please take a stroll with me through her shop!

♥ How did you hear about Etsy? and what made you sign up? I began making my products out of need for my overly sensitive skin. It then became a bit of an obsession and I couldn’t stop making them, and when overloaded with my own products, I gave them away to family and friends. Then I started hearing, “you should sell on Etsy”. I had no clue what this was, so when I finally decided to sell I looked into what Etsy was all about, and I thought it was pretty cool to have a place to sell without having to have a website.



♥ What feature do you like most about etsy?
I love using the Pounce feature when I am bored, I look for new and/or undiscovered shops and tweet their products. I remember waiting and wishing for that first sale, so I hope that has helped someone get a sale or a shop heart.

♥ Tell us about a favorite shop you have on here?
Pinkies Palace. I wanted handmade thank you cards for my orders and I found her through the Pounce feature and have been a loyal buyer from her since that first purchase. She makes fabulous thank you cards for me.

♥ If money were no object - what would you buy from etsy?
I am really starting to like the Steampunk Watch Part Jewelry… and this business card holder is adorable…

♥ What piece of yours are you most proud of?
My Sun Soap is my best creation to date. Made just for this contest, it was the first piece I tried to step out of my comfort zone and whoop it up and get creative…and I think it came out fabulous!!
♥ What one piece of advice would you give a new Etsy seller? Patience. I know that is so cliché, but it is hard to get noticed on Etsy. There are a lot of sellers, so you need to market yourself like crazy, and then just wait for people to find you, and hope they like your product enough to become a repeat customer and hopefully tell their friends.

I hope you enjoyed glancing through Lusters shop and hearing some about her. Be Sure to check back soon for my feature on BNWcraft's shop!
