My Boot Camp Buddy!

Being a part of Etsy also means doing what you can to better your products and your shop. Part of that, for me, started with Etsy's Boot Camp for the holiday season. There's a weekly newsletter that goes out with tips, articles and advice. For the first week you were advised to find a "boot camp buddy" and they linked you to their fan page. I posted my pledge and asked for anyone interested in a buddy. I got a message from someone thousands of miles away, but our products make me feel like we're very close friends who have known each other for a long time. Starzyia of Starry Girl on Etsy


"Sweet Love Birds Roosting Earrings"

Starry and I both do a lot with love, life, memories and healing. She has created some absolutely stunning pieces that mix modern, vintage and love all in one. I'm constantly amazed with the jewelry she comes out with because it feels like she creates them all for me. The meaning and love she puts into everything makes every piece feel like it is one of a kind. She even will create something just for you so you truly do have something that is made just for you and no one else.


"Red Berries and Maple Leaf Earrings"

She has helped me to better my products and images. We talk about our goals and what drives us. I guess I'll have to take a trip to Australia some day just to meet this amazing woman.....how horrible for me ;-)

I highly recommend everyone visit her shop, her blog, her Twitter page, and her Facebook Fan page!
