Meet the Team: LooksGood
The CK Etsy Team would like extend a hearty welcome to one of our newest members - Jeanette Smith of Looks Good. She also has a brick and mortar shop on St. Clair Street where she peddles her wares.
Location: 129 St. Clair St., Chatham N7L 3J2 529 397 4588
What is your favourite material to work with? paper
Tell us about your craft and/or the items in your shop. Custom, one of a kind, made just for YOU t-shirts, puzzles, mugs, key chains, coasters, and much much more . . .(Editor's Not: Jeanette and her husband Carleton own a photo-imprinting business, and have recently expanded their services to Etsy.)
What is your one wish for your Etsy shop/creative business? To be successful.
What is your favourite Etsy shop? Don’t have one yet (Editor's note: she's still working on it)
Favourite colour? Yellow (although I like teal, too, and yellow does not show up well on white!)
You could make your own dream ice cream... what would be in it? I do love plain old-fashioned vanilla, I also love Baskin-Robbins mint with chocolate chips. But, if I could make my own, WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS!!!!
Favourite place to be in Chatham-Kent? Well, I haven’t lived here for a year yet, and as I don’t drive, I haven’t seen that much of the “Kent” part, so I would have to say anywhere I haven’t already been. But, my own back yard in summer, or my front porch in spring and fall, are both pretty good places to be, especially if there is good company and a glass of white wine involved

Chatham-Kent Etsy Team Holiday Trunk Shows
The Chatham-Kent Etsy Team would like to extend a huge thank you to a few local shops for their support in hosting the first ever series of CK Etsy Team Holiday Trunk shows!
November 17/09 - William Street Cafe
I (Jen Merritt of Persephone's Awakening) wasn't able to attend the Trunk Show at the Cafe, but here's some feedback from participants and photos from the evening.
"I thought it was a great venue and atmosphere for the Etsy group and the place was fairly busy all evening. I'm glad I was able to meet my fellow CK Etsians and show some of my work. Although I didn't sell any of my photography I did hand out some business cards so that was good. I would definately do one there again (and hope next time to have a little more photography/art and maybe some other items on hand and be a bit more prepared). Unfortunately I wasn't able to come to check out the other two but look forward to hearing about them at the meeting."
Jess Wyma - Sunny Day Rain
According to Ann K. of It's Mine and Ann's...
"I think the Cafe event was a success. There was a great turnout. Sales were good. Because of the relaxed atmosphere it was easy to greet and talk with people whether they were just looking or buying. My only suggestion is to watch the temperature. My goodness it was boiling in there!!! Shoppers were making the same comment, but I don't think the heat chased anybody away."
November 26/09 - Eve Chocolatier
From Jen Merritt: "I was lucky to be involved in the Holiday Trunk Show, held at Eve Chocolatier and organized by Jenny O. of TwentySix7. Brenda supplied an excellent poster design, and the evening was filled with chocolate, a bustling boutique, and yule festiveness. Participants included: TwentySix7 (Jenny Oriet), PurplePeony (Brenda Braun), ChristyDekoning, TwistedByShannon (Shannon McDowell), JewellerybyEldon (Eldon Austin), and JenMerritt (aka Persephone's Awakening).
Shows aren't typically the best venue for my products, but I was excited to get together with other team members and meet those that I had only communicated with by email. Eve's was a perfect venue for our small group of artisans. We had a steady flow of visitors and each vendor sold something, including me (yay)! Pauline (of Eve's) was incredible and her shop set the personal, beautiful ambiance that I feel represents the Etsy ideology. I look forward to our next trunk show and team event."
December 17/09 - The Paper Pickle Co.
Hosted in the stamp and paper shop, this event consisted of team members: PurplePeony (Brenda Braun), ChristyDekoning, TwistedByShannon (Shannon McDowell), JewellerybyEldon (Eldon Austin), and JenMerritt (aka Persephone's Awakening), and ItsMineandAnns (Ann Kirkham).
Eldon states: "It was good exposure and I hope for much better in the future as the local people get to know me and my work. I do believe that there was a good time had by all." (Photo: Jewellery by Eldon)

Introducing: London . Art . Girl
We welcome our first Chathamite in the London direction. Laura spent a great deal of time in CK growing up, but has since migrated down the 401 to London. She's still involved in Chatham-Kent and writes for the Arts & Culture section of the Chatham-Kent Daily Post (online newspaper). Read on to get to know Laura.
Name: Laura Tetrault
Shop Name: London . Art . Girl
Location: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ londonartgirl
Do you have a blog or other website you'd like to share?
Acrylic paint!
What is your favourite Etsy shop?
I don’t think I have an overall fav shop but there are I definitely have some favs in different categories.
I like Paintallnight Studios for art: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ paintallnightstudios
Roia Obrien jewellery design : http://www.etsy.com/shop/ roiaobrien
Unique objects at Cyber Moon : http://www.etsy.com/shop/ CyberMoon
And the flower scarves at Persephone’s Awakening : http://www.etsy.com/shop/ jenmerritt [editor's note: gee whiz! Thankee!]
What's the most exciting thing that has ever happened to you on Etsy?
I was thrilled with my first sale – I received it the same month I began uploading work to my shop (Nov) I had started to prep my shop in Sept but no work was up. I sold 6 of my small paintings in November and everytime I got a notice I was got a little jolt of energy!
Tell us about your craft and/or the items in your shop.
I’m a painter primarily, although sometimes I do collage/mixed media work. As a personal challenge, I decided to create 30 small works of art on paper, one each day for the month of November. I opened my Etsy shop as a venue to help those paintings find homes. Then gradually I added some of my smaller works on canvas. I think it is important that art be reasonably priced and accessible to everyday people – so that is the mission of my shop: to help everyday people create their own personal oasis areas through art.
What is your one wish for your Etsy shop/creative business?
Besides being so wildly successful that I can’t keep anything in stock... That it would successfully help people connect with art.
Favourite colour?
That is a mean question to ask a painter! If it came down to it red would have to be my favourite but I really do love them all. Even brown = )
You could make your own dream ice cream... what would be in it?
Reeses peanut butter cups, pie pieces and milk chocolate chunks! Yum!
Favourite place to be in Chatham-Kent?
Legion Park, or in Williams Street Cafe.

Introducing: PurplePeony
Everyone give a little 'heeeey!' to Brenda Braun, who owns three etsy shops as well as a brick and mortar boutique at her home in Palmyra.

Shop Names: PurplePeony, Decadence2artbar, Justabrenda
Location: Palmyra Ontario (subdivision of Ridgetown)
Do you have a blog or other website you'd like to share? http://brendabraun.blogspot.com
What is your favourite material to work with?
sterling silver for sure, gemstones that are raw and rough or very elegant faceted gemstones. Gold is pretty fun too. I like to throw fabric or paper into the mix once in a while.
Tell us about your craft and/or the items in your shop.
Which one? Even though the stores are all different types, they all pretty much mesh together, facets of me?
What is your one wish for your Etsy shop/creative business?
That I get busy enough to hire someone to do the marketing and website work and to bring me coffee....lots of coffee....and I can hide away in my studio and just create.
What is your favourite Etsy shop? My own...I also haunt a few other metalworkers for eye candy and I scan through http://jenmerritt.etsy.com a lot...I like to see what she's up to! [awww thanks B!]
What's the most exciting thing that has ever happened to you on Etsy? I would say, selling my first truly metalsmithed item that was fairly pricey (compared to most items on Etsy)...for someone to purchase 'blindly' on the internet a jewellery item of mine out of the thousands available...I may have cried a little...really. I had a Sally Field moment (they like me, they really like me!).
Favourite colour? In gemstones, I've been known to drool over peridots, garnets and London Blue Topaz (google it, it's gorgeous)...in home decor, I melt over blue and brown together. In clothes I like plums, browns and purples. I've always loved purple, I blame that on Donny Osmond's purple socks (if you're under 30ish...google it).
You could make your own dream ice cream... what would be in it? oddly enough, my favourite ice cream is plain real vanilla. So...nothing?
Favourite place to be in Chatham-Kent? hands down, our house/property. It's my sanctuary. The ONLY thing that I wish we had was about 20 acres of woodlot...then it would be perfect! I also like to wander the local beaches but in the off-season, they are so much more interesting without humans.

Introducing: Persephone's Awakening
Err... I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce the owner of the shop Persephone's Awakening... me!

Shop Name: JenMerritt
Location: Chatham, Ontario
Do you have a blog or other website you'd like to share? Persephone's Awakening
What is your favourite material to work with? I have a really hard time narrowing anything down. I started out making purses, so I have an affinity for fabric, but I would have to say that what I love most right now is beach glass. The thrill of the hunt is fantastic!
Tell us about your craft and/or the items in your shop. Much like my real life, I seem to be unable to focus on one thing for very long. Right now I make crocheted scarves, beachglass necklaces, button necklaces, and I have a few totebags left over from the summer. I'd love to narrow down my practice a bit, but I don't seem to be able to. Next journey: tshirts with appliques and bleach-imprinted designs, beach pottery painted stone necklaces, and accessories made from thrifted ties.
What is your one wish for your Etsy shop/creative business? I'd like to be in more brick and mortar shops. I don't expect to quit my day job (social worker), but it'd be nice to have a steady second income from Etsy. I'd also love to have my own space in an artist's collective building. It'd be so full of creative energy, to share studio space! Kind of like Blick Shared Studios in Belfast (incredible building!)
What's the most exciting thing that has ever happened to you on Etsy? It was pretty exciting to have the CK Team approved, but my most exciting thing was when I sold four custom crochet flower scarves in a manner of two weeks. Until I realized I then had to MAKE the scarves!
What is your favourite Etsy shop? There are so many amazing shops, but I would have to say that I am always awe-stricken with TheBlackApple.
Favourite colour? Red + Aqua.
You could make your own dream ice cream... what would be in it? It would taste like the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" soap/perfume by Lush.
Favourite place to be in Chatham-Kent? Somewhere with moss. It's such a magical plant.

Introducing: TwistedbyShannon
I'd like to introduce Shannon McDowell. We just so happened to attend the same grade school, and it was a pleasant surprise to discover the she is the on and only Shannon running her shop - Twisted.
Shop Name: TwistedByShannon
Location: Chatham, Ontario
Do you have a blog or other website you'd like to share?
Often I put my design ideas up on my deviantArt page to get feedback before deciding whether or not to sell something - so check there for previews! TwistedbyShannon.deviantart.com
What is your favourite material to work with?
Wire, for sure. I like what comes from my work with leather, but I often find it frustrating to work with.
What's the most exciting thing that has ever happened to you on Etsy?
My first sale - proof that I was making something that people will buy!
Tell us about your craft and/or the items in your shop.
My handmade philosophy revolves around creating unique designs from unexpected items. Most of the items in my shop are made from scraps and bits that would have otherwise been thrown out as garbage, but I think that anything has the potential to be made into something fantastic.
What is your one wish for your Etsy shop/creative business?
That my experimentations continue to be well-received, and that I will continue to have fun crafting.
What is your favourite Etsy shop?
Merimask - I collect masks, and these are beautiful.
Favourite colour?
Blue - I haven't met a shade of blue yet that I haven't liked. :)
You could make your own dream ice cream... what would be in it?
I would bring back orange-pineapple ice cream. It's too hard to find nowadays.
Favourite place to be in Chatham-Kent?
The old part of Maple Leaf Cemetery, actually. There's a large tree that I love to sit under and read. It's a very beautiful and peaceful place.
