To-day, I have a wonderful guest in my garden. Please welcome the owners of Creative Kates!!!


Me: Hello, Katie and Monica! I am so delighted to have you here in my garden to-day! Do you think you could please tell me and my readers a little bit about yourselves?

Katie: My mom and I started the shop in June of 2010. We started selling our jewelry at local fairs and craft bazaars and then discovered Etsy and have been selling ever since. Im 14 years old and developed the banner and store name CreativeKates. Im also the photographer and I create the jewelry listed except for the vintage repurposed pieces. My favorite piece is the Lilacs and Love ring, and my mom's is the Pink Lemonade Ring. Be sure to visit my moms shop for all your vintage findswww.etsy.com/shop/campbell732

Me: So, what is perhaps, to you, the most enjoyable part of being an Etsy owner and crafter?


Katie: The most enjoyable part of having an etsy shop is spending time with my mom. We make all the jewelry together and prepare our jewelry for shipment; it's a lot of fun. 


Me: What are some of your best selling item(s) in your shop?


Katie: One of the best selling items in our shop is the Victorian Inspired 22K gold plated headband. 


Me:Tell us, what are a few of your favorite Etsy sellers/shops?


Katie: Some of our favorite etsy shops are: BayColonyDesigns, BellStudios, bstudio, DGstyle, and ManeMessage.


Me: Do you have a goal for your Etsy shop this year?


Katie: The goal for our etsy shop this year is to have more vintage inspired jewelry, and of course, more customers!
For new etsy shop members, a few tips would be to have good descriptions and photos! Also, to have good customer service, and fast shipment!


Me: Being an experienced Etsy owner, could you share a few tips to the beginner Etsy owners among us?Also, what item from your shop would you like to giveaway?
