Featured Seller

I like to introduce our Featured Seller, also one of the Leader of the TT Team (along with our the sister teams EOF and AP) Miranda from Dominican Lounge

Here is a gorgeous pair of her Larimar earrings:


Tell us a little bit about yourself: I am single mother of a teen, his name is Rafi. He is a soccer player. My online shops are my full time venues after I quit my day job, 2 years ago.


What do you make? I work with Larimar and Dominican Amber , I chose these materials because they are only mined in my country so I though it was a great chance to be different.


How long have you made your product(s)? Started this journey 3 years ago


How did you get started? Well it's a long story but I started selling online Dominican coffee and Dominican Souvenirs in other marketplaces, but 3 years ago I made some gifts for friends and they encouraged me to sell my crafts online. I heard about Etsy and here I am, being an addict treasury's curator and making friends.

Another great pair of earrings:


What is your favorite thing to make & why? I love to make treasuries, I can spend a whole day sitting at my desk browsing around. I enjoy Etsy's talented Community.

Anything else you would like us to know? I love to be here and help promote others. I feel I should show some love to the readers and would like to offer a special discount in case you need any gifts or supplies from my shop. For my Etsy's shop please use coupon code LARIMAR15 and I will give 15% off your order and if you need Dominican coffee or any souvenir from my country, please use coupon LOVE COFFEE at www.ShopDominicanCoffee.com and receive a 7% Off your order.

Featured Seller of the Week!!!



Please welcome Amy, (and one of her handbags) from ACAmour, ColeMorganCandles and Lathermedown as our First Featured Seller on our TT Blog!


Tell us a little bit about yourself: I work on my three shops almost 60 hours a week, I babysit my besties kids four times a week, and am constantly developing new projects, so not too much time for anything else :)

What do you make? All types of bags, capes, ducky momos, soon to be kindle cases, candles, soaps, and at least one batman or superman figure a week :)

Here is one of her great handbangs.. (isn't it an awesome spring color!)



How long have you made your product(s)? I taught myself how to sew three years ago.

How did you get started? I used to graphic design tee shirts and jeans and wanted to see if I could make something. Eventually I'd like to construct my own clothes.

What is your favorite thing to make & why? Handbags, especially if it's one I haven't made before.
