Etsy Quotes

bi” meaning “two.” I needed a shirt that read bi as in horny for gender expansiveness. Maybe I could get that custom-made on Etsy.

Interestingly, adults are only shamed for having an obsessive interest if that interest is a bit too “strange,” and doesn’t come with the opportunity to rack up a lot of achievements or make a lot of money. People who routinely complete eighty-hour workweeks aren’t penalized for being obsessive or hyperfixated; they’re celebrated for their diligence. If an adult fills their evenings after work learning to code or creating jewelry that they sell on Etsy, they’re seen as enterprising. But if someone instead devotes their free time to something that gives them pleasure but doesn’t financially benefit anyone, it’s seen as frivolous or embarrassing, even selfish. In this instance, it’s clear that the punishing rules imposed on Autistic children reflect a much broader societal issue: pleasure and nonproductive, playful time are not valued, and when someone is passionate about the “wrong” things, that passion is discouraged because it presents a distraction from work and other “respectable” responsibilities.

Oh, no, it wasn’t a medical procedure,” I say. “It was an Etsy spell.

I’m guessing you made it your business too, judging by the quality of the hunting knife stuck in his throat. Handmade Damascus steel. Where’d you get it?” I sigh. My gaze lingers on the body and my favorite blade before I press my cheeks to my drawn-up knees. “Etsy.

Many people in this room have an Etsy store where they create unique, unreplicable artifacts or useful items to be sold on a small scale, in a common marketplace where their friends meet and barter. I and many of my friends own more than one spinning wheel. We grow our food again. We make pickles and jams on private, individual scales, when many of our mothers forgot those skills if they ever knew them. We come to conventions, we create small communities of support and distributed skills--when one of us needs help, our village steps in. It’s only that our village is no longer physical, but connected by DSL instead of roads. But look at how we organize our tribes--bloggers preside over large estates, kings and queens whose spouses’ virtues are oft-lauded but whose faces are rarely seen. They have moderators to protect them, to be their knights, a nobility of active commenters and big name fans, a peasantry of regular readers, and vandals starting the occasional flame war just to watch the fields burn. Other villages are more commune-like, sharing out resources on forums or aggregate sites, providing wise women to be consulted, rabbis or priests to explain the world, makers and smiths to fashion magical objects. Groups of performers, acrobats and actors and singers of songs are traveling the roads once more, entertaining for a brief evening in a living room or a wheatfield, known by word of mouth and secret signal. Separate from official government, we create our own hierarchies, laws, and mores, as well as our own folklore and secret history. Even my own guilt about having failed as an academic is quite the crisis of filial piety--you see, my mother is a professor. I have not carried on the family trade. We dwell within a system so large and widespread, so disorganized and unconcerned for anyone but its most privileged and luxurious members, that our powerlessness, when we can summon up the courage to actually face it, is staggering. So we do not face it. We tell ourselves we are Achilles when we have much more in common with the cathedral-worker, laboring anonymously so that the next generation can see some incremental progress. We lack, of course, a Great Work to point to and say: my grandmother made that window; I worked upon the door. Though, I would submit that perhaps the Internet, as an object, as an aggregate entity, is the cathedral we build word by word and image by image, window by window and portal by portal, to stand taller for our children, if only by a little, than it does for us. For most of us are Lancelots, not Galahads. We may see the Grail of a good Classical life, but never touch it. That is for our sons, or their daughters, or further off. And if our villages are online, the real world becomes that dark wood on the edge of civilization, a place of danger and experience, of magic and blood, a place to make one’s name or find death by bear. And here, there be monsters.

On an evening when Perdita's away on a school trip, Harriet sits in front of her computer eating sample squares of lavender shortbread and practicing her favorite form of procrastination: writing highly positive reviews of her eBay, Etsy, and Amazon purchases. Five stars for everybody. She didn't finish one of the books she just gave five stars to. She just liked the author photo. Five stars for the portrait photographer, then. She's been doing this ever since some of her students told her they do this with one-star reviews. Opposing random negativity with random positivity - that's the main thing.

She was a Home Counties, Kate-loving, Jaeger-shopping, Lean In-feminist who arranged animal-welfare fundraisers at the weekends and bought handmade earrings from Etsy.

(I’ve spent many hours down the rabbit hole that is “vagina Etsy”).

Was it more important to make it easier for Etsy to do good, or rather to make it harder for ExxonMobil to do harm? Was it possible to do both?

You’re probably confused because she got a new face on Etsy,” Sabrina tells her. “Huh,” Kimmy says. “I was wondering what Danny DeVito was doing here.” “That probably has more to do with the edibles,” I say.

In addition to taking your side business full time, another way you might want to grow and expand is by moving locations. Here are some different ways you can move: Moving from Etsy to a full website Moving from online to a brick-and-mortar store Moving from having one location to opening multiple locations

today’s learners face new challenges. Their primary hang-up is understanding what they want to do. Our career options have expanded so far beyond traditional options that they didn’t even exist when you or I were in school. Now a learner can choose to be a firefighter or a coder, an accountant or a YouTuber, a veterinarian or an Etsy seller. With so many possible directions to choose from, so many new skills and new careers and new creative pursuits available, deciding what to explore must come first.

Ingrid said yes you can. “Even the women who get those things lose them again. Husbands die and children grow up and marry someone you hate and use the law degree you bought them to start an Etsy business. Everything goes away eventually, and women are always the last ones standing so we just make up something else to want. I don't want it to be an invented thing. Everything is invented. Life is invented. Everything you see anyone doing is something they made up. I invented Swindon for fuck's sake, and made myself want it and now I do.

Suddenly I go from running my Etsy store to sitting in an elegant Wall Street boardroom with Smuckers in my lap. And my neighbor’s son, Henry Locke, aka New York’s most eligible bachelor, glaring across the table at me.

If you have a keen eye for arts and crafts and Disney, be careful putting your unlicensed creative works up on eBay or Etsy. Disney is known to scour those websites and have auctions and listings removed with an accompanying “cease and desist” letter.

In 2008, Kalin was invited to lecture the Masters of the Universe at Davos. In April 2015, Etsy debuted an IPO; it was only the second Brooklyn company to go public.

I did for a while on Etsy before they screwed the marketplace by removing the handmade requirement. These days it’s too hard to get found there,

Ihmisen halut olivat monimutkaisempia kuin lampaan, mutta yhtä lyhytnäköisiä. Yhtä mitättömiä. Lammas halusi ruohoa, vettä, parittelua, etsi toisista lampaista turvaa. Ihminen halusi kaikkea samaa, sen lisäksi kultaa.

But, if nothing else, I can have the phrase reproduction is dope made into wall art from Etsy, so I guess the night isn’t a total wash.

Crossroads On the call, use this checklist: Do you perform a demo for this prospect and spend 30–60 minutes with him or her? Do you add the user to a drip campaign and follow up later? Do you disqualify the user? Is the user willing to change their business requirements to make this software work? Some of our users change how they process orders to make Connex work for them. Avoid scope creep with the 15-minute call. Trial users are usually disrespectful of your company’s time. Find a way to “yes” If your software lacks a feature and there is a workaround, suggest it. For example, customers would ask us if we had an Etsy integration. We said we can sync with it if the they purchase a 3rd party add-on. If your company plans to build a feature, alert the trial user. Systems like UserVoice and UpVoty can ask users to subscribe to a feature request and receive an alert when it is made.

Which makes your little DIY job even more obvious. You are such a child, Anita, honestly. Who are you, Etsy?

They were able to get so many strawflowers last week, they'd kept some for arrangements and had dried others to use in wreaths. Strawflowers held their color despite being dried, and the wreaths always turned out beautiful. Time consuming, yes, but beautiful. Great for the transition from winter to spring. Alice once saw an Etsy listing that called similar wreaths everlasting strawflowers, and she liked the phrasing so much she'd thought of them that way ever since.

pink-haired girl on Etsy was selling shirts of a tweet you once wrote: Fuck demonizing immigrants. It was the millennial version of those cultures that exhumed a dead person’s corpse and paraded it through the streets, dressing it in new outfits, posing with it for photos. I wanted to forge something big enough to kill the whole world.

Many of these projects were simple product fixes with the best chance of boosting sales quickly. For example, many Etsy shoppers were nervous about using their credit cards with small, unknown vendors they didn’t yet trust, so the company prioritized adding a message to the site: “The seller never sees your credit card information.”32 Silverman called these fixes ambulances and focused the team on implementing them in days and weeks rather than months.33 His ambulances paid off with an almost-immediate increase to revenues.34

(Rakkain kohta kirjasta Helvetin piirit.) Muiden nukahdettua Ali käveli pois leirin valoista. Ike ei ollut ottanut kajakkiaan tai haulikkoaan, joten Ali etsi jalkaisin taskulamppunsa avulla. Iken jalanjäljet näkyivät harppauksina rantatöyrään liejussa. Ryhmän omahyväisyys raivostutti Alia. He olivat olleet joka suhteessa riippuvaisia Ikestä. Ilman häntä he olisivat voineet kuolla tai eksyä. Hän oli ollut uskollinen heille, mutta nyt kun hän tarvitsisi heitä, he eivät olleet uskollisia hänelle. Me olimme hänen tuhonsa, Ali ymmärsi sen nyt. He olivat tuominneet Iken tuhoon riippuvuudellaan. Ike olisi ollut tuhansien kilometrien päässä ilman heidän heikkouttaan, tietämättömyyttään ja ylpeyttään. Se oli sitonut hänet heihin. Suojelusenkelit olivat sellaisia. Säälintunteensa tuhoon tuomitsemia. Ali joutui kuitenkin vielä myöntämään, että ryhmän syyttäminen oli väistelyä. Sille Ikeä oli sitonut Alin heikkous, tietämättömyys ja ylpeys – ei ryhmän vaan Alin. Ryhmän hyvinvointi oli vain sivuetu. Oli epämiellyttävä totuus, että Ike oli luvannut itsensä Alille. Ali eritteli ajatuksiaan kulkiessaan joenvierustaa. Aluksi Iken uskollisuus hänelle oli ollut epämieluisaa, mieliharmi. Ali oli haudannut mieltymyksentunteensa omien kuvitelmiensa kasan alle ja tyytynyt siihen, että Ike kulki syvyyksissä omista syistään, keksaistun kadonneen rakastetun tai koston takia. Ehkä niin ollutkin aluksi, mutta ei enää. Ali tiesi sen. Ike oli siellä hänen takiaan. Ali löysi Iken öiseltä niityltä, vailla valoa, vailla asetta. Ike istui kasvot kohti jokea lootusasennossaan, selkä suojattomana vihollisille. Hän oli heittäytynyt villin erämaan armoille. “Ike”, Ali sanoi. Iken pörröinen pää pysyi pystyssä ja paikallaan. Alin lampunvalo heijasti Iken varjon mustan veden pinnalle, johon se heti katosi. Millainen paikka, Ali ajatteli. Pimeys niin ahnas, että se ahmi muun pimeyden. Ali tuli lähemmäs ja riisui reppunsa. “Jäitte pois omista hautajaisistanne”, hän vitsaili. “Meille lähetettiin juhla-ateria.” Ei liikahdustakaan. Edes iken keuhkot eivät liikkuneet. Hän kulki syvällä. Pakeni. “Ike”, Ali sanoi. “Minä tiedän, että te kuulette ääneni.” Iken toinen käsi lepäsi sylissä; toisen käden sormenpäät koskettivat maata kokonaisen hyönteisen painolla. Ali tunsi olevansa tunkeilija. Hän ei kuitenkaan hyökännyt harkintaa vaan alkavaa mielipuolisuutta vastaan. Ike ei voisi voittaa, ei yksin. Ali lähestyi toiselta sivustalta. Takaapäin Ike näytti rauhalliselta. Sitten Ali näki, että hänen kasvonsa olivat vääristyneet. “En tiedä mitä on tekeillä”, Ali sanoi. Ike taisteli Alia vastaan patsasmaisen rauhallisuutensa sisällä. Hänen leukansa oli kireällä. “Riittää jo”, Ali sanoi, avasi reppunsa ja veti esiin ensiapupakkauksen. “Minä puhdistan nuo haavat.” Ali aloitti tylyn riuskasti pesusienellä. Hän kuitenkin hidasti liikettään. Iho itse hidasti liikkeen. Ali siveli Iken selkää sormillaan, ja luut ja lihakset, hadaalien muste, arpikudos ja repunhihnojen hiertämät kovettumat saivat hänet hämmästymään. Se oli orjan ruumis. Ikeä oli piinattu. Jokainen merkki oli käyttämisen merkki. Se sai Alin ymmälle. Hän oli tuntenut kirottuja monenlaisina ruumiillistumina, vaikkapa vankeja, prostituoituja, tappajia ja karkotettuja spitaalisia. Hän ei ollut kuitenkaan koskaan tavannut orjaa. Sellaisia olentoja ei pitänyt olla olemassa omalla ajallamme. Ali yllättyi, miten hyvin Iken olkapää sopi hänen käteensä. Sitten hän tointui reippaan taputuksen myötä. “Te jäätte henkiin”, hän sanoi. Ali käveli vähän matkan päähän ja istuutui. Hän makasi lopun yötä kerälle käpertyneenä ja suojeli Ikeä haulikolla, sillä aikaa kun Ike teki paluuta maailmaan.

Who is then creating the future of New York’s foundation economy? According to Heiferman it’s companies such as Kickstarter, Etsy and Meetup: “We are really saying ‘screw you!’ to the traditional New York establishment. The future is empowering people to do things themselves. We have on the wall here at Meetup a big sign: not DIY, but DIO: Do It Ourselves. The main thing here is that we are not just changing or building a nice industry in New York, but we are changing the face and the nature of the New York economy, and that is going to be a hard job, it will take a few decades, and at the end of the day it is about changing the world the way it needs to be changed.

Jeffrey Murdock is a colossal turd." "Can I stitch that on a sampler and put it on Etsy?" "Sure.

Last year, for example, Etsy acquired Grand St., an online seller of new electronics products. The Grommet, which is majority owned by Japanese e-commerce giant Rakuten, is another site dedicated to introducing shoppers to the latest inventions from small shops or individuals. Amazon has

Nam etsi ambulavero in medio umbrae mortis, non timebo mala, quoniam tu mecum es. [Psalmi 22:4]

We are God’s workmanship. We’re his masterpieces. God created each one of us. He had a plan and a purpose for our lives before time even began, and he handcrafted us to be unique and bring beauty to the world, each in our own way. No, we won’t all have the perfect fashion sense, the cleanest house, be able to juggle it all, or have a Pinterest-perfect life. We won’t all have a platform or be an influencer or run a business or open an Etsy shop. We can’t be everything we admire in everyone we know. We can’t do foster care and host people all the time and make the most delicious bread and look like an ad for our local gym and homeschool and travel all over the country and lead five Bible studies and restore furniture on the side. Let’s learn from each other. Let’s be inspired by one another. And let’s fight against comparison. Against the lie that we have to do it all and be good at everything. Against the lie that we’re not enough, that what we have is not enough.

Or I will start an Etsy shop selling “natural essences” to women who worry about chemicals in their perfume. The kind of women who wear mineral-based powder makeup and spend seventy-five dollars on eye cream.

I did! I’m saving up to get a 3D printer so I can start designing more pieces and sell them on Etsy.” She lit up, pleased that I’d noticed. “You have a nice style, too. Just . . . dark. Jewel tones would go well with your tan skin

Good morning!” she called cheerfully as she joined me behind the register and stowed her large boho bag under the counter. A pair of the handmade earrings she sold on Etsy jingled as she moved. Today she wore interlocking circles of gold wire that hung down long enough to peek out from beneath her smart black bob.

it reminds me of a mug I saw on Etsy saying, ‘It doesn’t matter how much ink you get, you’ll always be a mainstream cunt.

people with too many options never took action, whereas the people who were presented with fewer options actually made purchases.

Altus didn't feel like a massive world-destroying entity; it felt more like Etsy at the moment. But that's the way of these things. One day, an internet company wants to sell books, and then ten years later they're a threat to nearly every industry on earth.

A platform is a raised, level surface on which people or things can stand. A platform business works in just that way: it allows users—producers and consumers of goods, services, and content— to create, communicate, and consume value through the platform. Amazon, Apple’s App Store, eBay, Airbnb, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pay- Pal, YouTube, Uber, Wikipedia, Instagram, etsy, Twitter, Snapchat, Hotel Tonight, Salesforce, Kickstarter, and Alibaba are all platform businesses. While these businesses have done many impressive things, the most relevant to us is that they have created an oppor- tunity for anyone, even those with limited means, to share their thoughts, ideas, creativity, and creations with millions of people at a low cost. Today, if you create a product or have an idea, you can sell that product or share that idea with a substantial audience quickly and cost-effectively through these platforms. Not only that, but the platforms arguably give more power to individuals than corporations since they’re so efficient at identifying ulterior motives or lack of authenticity. The communities on these platforms, many of whom are millennials, know when they’re being sold to rather than shared with, and quickly eliminate those users from their con- sciousness (a/k/a their social media feeds). Now, smaller organizations and less prosperous individuals are able to sell to or share their products, services, or content with more targeted demographics of people. That’s exactly what the modern consumer desires: a more personalized, connected experience. For example, a Brooklyn handbag designer can sell her handbags to a select group of customers through one of the multitude of fashion or shopping platforms and create an ongoing dialogue with her audience through a communication platform such as Instagram. Or an independent filmmaker from Los Angeles can create a short film using a GoPro and the editing software on their Mac and then instantly share it with countless people through one of a dozen video platforms and get direct feedback. Or an author can write a book and sell it directly from his or her website and social channels to anyone who’s excited about it. The reaction to standardization and globalization has been enabled by these platforms. Customers can get what they want, from whomever they want, whenever they want it. It’s a revised and personalized version of globalization that allows us to maintain and enhance the cultural connections that create the meaning we crave in our lives.

Yet, anything you do that is connected to your dream will make your life glow a bit brighter. Your dream doesn’t have to reality for it to feed your soul. JeanneQuotes on Etsy

There is one good thing about happiness, even when you don't have it, you can imagine it.

Anderson’s fastidious Etsy auteurship is to be admired, but Anderson is a collector, and a collector’s taste is notable for what he leaves out. Sometimes nonwhite characters, mostly quiet Indian actors decked out in the elaborate livery of the help, have appeared in Anderson’s other films. But in the safe insulated palette of Moonrise Kingdom, there is no hint of the Other. The characters are all mid-century white, the scrubbed white of Life magazine ads.

Dan McKinley at Etsy (McKinley 2013) wrote “nearly everything fails” and for features, he wrote “it’s been humbling to realize how rare it is for them to succeed on the first attempt. I strongly suspect that this experience is universal, but it is not universally recognized or acknowledged.” Finally, Colin McFarland wrote in the book Experiment! (McFarland 2012, 20) “No matter how much you think it’s a no-brainer, how much research you’ve done, or how many competitors are doing it, sometimes, more often than you might think, experiment ideas simply fail.

Why was she the only person whose idea of getting one’s freak on consisted of staying up late and spending too much money on Etsy? Well,
