I have bought numerous handmade soaps, perfumes, and other bath items through various sites over the years. I have made one etsy purchase, and while I wasn't keen on the product, it came quickly and the transaction went very smoothly.
If I can find handmade goods, I really like purchasing them. I frequent local street fairs where local merchants have booths. I like shopping and eating at local mom & pop stores/restaurants and spending my money locally on goods that aren't sold at mass retailers.
Right now I'm looking for a very specific type of pouch to store my lip balms in my purse. I have perused Etsy and when my budget allows, will probably make a purchase there.
I've always enjoyed making my own things, although I'm not particularly great at anything. I'm a newbie at crochet and am finishing up my first throw, I make bead necklaces (and wear them), I can use a sewing machine but I'm not gifted. I would like to give quilting a try.
Basically, I don't have advice, but should you decide to open an Etsy shop, I'd love to take a look!
