Let's Talk Etsy~Interview with Simple Serendipities

Hello, readers! I apologize {seems like I'm saying that word a lot} not only for apologizing :), but for not posting this sooner. The owners of this shop agreed to sponsor for the month of March, and so I am posting this very late. To-day I have a very lovely shop to feature...

Simple Serendipities is such a sweet, little Etsy that I know you will enjoy!

I had a great chat with the two owners:

Me: Hello, Abigail and Alison! What a pleasure 'tis to have you here in my garden!  Thanks so much for joining me! Do you think you could please tell us a little bit  about yourselves?

Abigail and Alison: Thank you, Grace! We are two sisters who live with our family in central Texas.  We enjoy music, photography and everything handmade!

Me: What inspired you to start an Etsy shop and how long has it been in full  operation?

Abigail and Alison:We liked the idea of selling handmade things from our home and an Etsy shop  seemed to be the perfect avenue for that desire.

We started our shop in the  fall of 2009.

Me: Your shop's name is so lovely! Can you explain the concept behind the title?

Abigail and Alison: We hope that our shop will be a serendipity to everyone that finds it, even if  that pleasure comes from a simple flower hair clip! 

Me: What is your inspiration for your products?

Abigail and Alison: We are inspired by nature, items we see in stores, fabric... we find inspiration  wherever we go!

Me: What are perhaps, to you two, the most enjoyable parts of being an Etsy owner  and crafter?

Abigail and Alison: It's fun to make handmade things that hopefully others will enjoy as much as we  do. It's so nice to read feedback from a buyer and hear that they love what they  bought in our shop!
