An Etsy Shop is Born!

I decided to start an Etsy Shop!  Developing and organizing my photography portfolio this summer has been a ton of fun, but it got me thinking.  I wish there was a way to market my brand and at the same time create a tangible good that would draw connections between my followers and places that are unique and memorable.  I decided to simplify.  I ended up picking the Tybee Island Lighthouse as a subject for my new endeaver because it is a symbol, a symbol of the great history of the low country and the rustic feel that ultimately captured the true essence of my company’s vision.  My Etsy shop would start off as a simple idea and would later expand into a variety of products, but I needed a starting point and that starting point would be the Tybee Island Lighthouse!   I have experimented with handcrafted coasters in the past and have had a great amount of success with this process.  I started building my inventory and quickly expanded to creating a variety of different products including custom magnets, ornaments and 5 x 7 matted photos.  Thus an Etsy Shop was born out of thin air and I am hoping it serves to be a great complimentary shop to my already existing online presence.  I already have some new projects in the works and am very excited to release them.  So far my experience with Etsy has been eye-opening and a great challenge to say the least, but I can’t wait to learn and grow with each coming day!  Thanks for tuning in once more.  I hope this post was insightful for those looking to follow in my footsteps and start an Etsy shop of their own.  I say go for it!  You will be joining a great community of free-spirited, creative and unique individuals.  Take a glance at my website listed below and I will look forward to keeping you posted.  Thanks again for tuning in!
