What made you decide to sell on Etsy?
I always wanted to open a store and sell my hand knitted scarves and baby clothing. However, my full-time job, and pregnancy didn’t bring enough confidence in this picture.
When my beautiful baby daughter came to the world, she brought new hope and faith in myself. I found knitting section and crochet section and I was happily surprised that someone is selling so many handmade creations. At that time the idea that Etsy.com is an easy way to create and maintain shop came into play. With etsy, I figured, I wouldn’t have to care about renting and maintaining a physical shop, and at the same time I’d have flexible working hours. Now I stay at home as mother, enjoy spending time with my baby daughter, my knitting, and promoting my shop via interesting online tools. My online store is Nevita ( http://www.nevita.etsy.com/ )
How did you originally get into Hand knit and Goblin making business?
I learned to knit and make goblin tapestry, when I was a child. I went to my grandparent’s home, during school offs. My grandmother thought me different handmade techniques, such as knit, crochet, sewing and others. During the years, I was paying more attention to knitting and goblin tapestry, and found I enjoyed it a lot. It became my hobby, and after my daughter’s birth I decided I was determined to share the products of my passion with people around the world.
Winter scarves (http://www.etsy.com/shop/nevita?section_id=6555819)… When I was young girl, my mother kept telling me to wear scarves so I wouldn’t get cold. I hated scarves! That is, until the day I knitted myself a very colorful, soft, and pleasant to touch and look at piece of happiness (yes, a scarf!). My classmates loved it. That motivated me to make more scarves, because I found scarves could be joy, emotions, and good looking fun – yes staying warm became not so bad experience after all 🙂
I have NEW Neck Warmers ( Knitted Cowls ) also just the modern fingerless gloves and hats.
Now I am motivated from the smile of my daughter and the look of her eyes. In addition, when I look and reflect on the results of my hand made creations I’ve made during the years, I get a good feeling of accomplishment, and I want to do more. I’m proud of my winter scarves, my gobelins, and last but not least my baby clothing.
What do you like most about being a seller?
Being a seller is something new for me. I like to learn new things, find information too. I learn how to sell by reading a lot of articles from experienced Etsy sellers. It is not easy work, I love to create, but honestly, I don’t know how to sell my creations. It is something I want to learn to do. Being a seller is a new opportunity to bring joy to people.What are your interests outside Etsy?
I like the Human Resourses area and I am finishing my masters degree in Human Resources management. I enjoy interacting with people.
I love to travel and regularly organize small trips through my country.
