Very cute and creative appliqued t's you have Laura! Thanks for sharing with us.. and yes, agreed, "..I would do this even if I had not opened a shop.."
What motivated you to start your shop? I had always been searching for a "venue" to sell my crafts on-line and had tried others but then I found Etsy and thought I'd give it a try; my first item sold within 24 hrs and that was two years ago.
What is the story behind your shop name? Fiesta means a celebration, a party, something that everyone enjoys and little kids are always excited about.
Do you have a favorite Etsy Shop (non-child related)? Many, many shops, it is hard to choose one, but one of my favorites is http://www.etsy.com/shop/wendymarsh I have bought several items from her, 100% beautiful.
What surprised you most about having your own craft / online shop? That I get to meet and connect with people from all over the world, that is so fantastic!! I love so much what I do, that I found my true passion in life!
What do you find most challenging about being an Etsy seller? Being unique, everyone is so talented!!
What's your personal philosophy behind your shop / products? To make items that I would use on my own kids, if they were little or I had grandchildren :o) or that I would love to receive as a gift. I try to keep happy clients so they feel confident with their purchases and come back again and again.
How would someone (other then you) describe you? Witty, always creative, hard working and very passionate about her business.
What music do you have on while you are creating? Depends on the "day of the month" (LOL!!)
What do you do when you aren't working? I actually don´t call it work, I would do this even if I had not opened a shop. The few hours of the day that I am not doing anything related to my shop, I work on my garden, I visit my family or friends, I also love working on new projects for my home; cooking at our family gatherings; watching the CA sunsets!!
Anything else you'd like to tell us or share? These last 2 years have been so awesome for me, I have met so many wonderful people, have learned a lot about networking, joining a team, maintaining a business, etc that I only wish for more of the same and to anyone who is not sure if the time is right for them to try it, I can only say JUST TRY IT here on Etsy!
