Terra's Treasures
This week we have a new featured seller from Etsy. So please get to know her here a bit, check out her shop, and leave her a comment letting her know what you think! Check out where you can find her on the web at the bottom of this post!!
This is Terra, the owner of Terra's Treasures. Terra is a seller from Twin Falls, and she sells super cute clothing and accessories for children and infants! I hope you all enjoy getting to know her as I have! Check out her shop, she may have just the thing you're looking for to keep your kiddo looking fashionable!
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I'm a stay at home mom raising two wonderful little boys, Dylan (2) and Taylor (6months).
How did you come up with your shop name?
My mother actually came up with it. She told me one day that I should start my own shop and call it Terra's Treasures.
When did you start crafting?
I've actually been sewing since I was a little girl, but it wasn't until I had kids that I fell in love with making little clothes.
What first made you want to start selling your creations?
I would make things and I had so many people tell me how cute they were and that I should sell them. I was already selling a few things here and there to friends.
Describe your creative process to us.
It could happen anywhere. I'll see something that I like or realize a need and then it's all I'll think about until it takes a shape. (a little obsessive? no comment....)
What inspires you?
How do you promote your work?
I have a facebook page and a blog that I'm trying to get up and running. I just need to be a little more disciplined and post more often. I think it would be a great way for people to get to know me better and for them to see some of the creative process I use to make things.
Are your items pre-made or made to order?
Both. I have some things I sell that are custom orders and I also have some ready to ship things that I make when I have spare time or that are left over from a craft show.
Tell us two short-term goals you have and one long-term.
Two short term goals I have are to actually sell something in my shop and to organize my time better so I can be more productive. (Bad facebook! I can spend way too much time on there). My long tern goal is to be successful in this endeavor so that when my children start school I won't have to go back to work.
