wrap your karma around me baby

we live in a world where we expect the worst. it's almost funny that we're surprised when someone is nice to us. i joined etsy exactly 2 months ago and i'm getting used to the abnormal pleasure of consistently decent, kind people. you ask a question on the forums, you get patient, detailed answers..you get links, you get tutorials, you get laughs..and a lot of them come from your competitors. i'm enjoying myself almost to the point of feeling guilty about it..and i'm learning how to run a business from these men and women who share their tips and tricks and positive encouragment. someone makes their first sale..everyone posts and cheers them on, someone can't make a sale..everyone rallies and tells them not to give up. we really are a community in the best sense of the word, and for my part , i'd like to shine a light on some of the best i've met so far.

goodkarmasoaps.etsy.com- true to the name of her shop..she posted a thread to give away a help booklet to anyone that had done something nice for someone else. and fabulous soap!

betafly.etsy.com--kind, helpful,in any thread, willing to share tips and advice. great shop

lilacpop.etsy.com--encouraging,positive, helpful...always.gorgeous pieces

crochetgal.etsy.com--welcoming,with encouragement and laughs for a newbie (me), great pieces

kiwigemwraps.etsy.com--excellent,fair but gentle critiques.,beautiful jewelry

latherinluxury.etsy.com--a new seller, with a great lavendar soap that drove my man crazy.

so now do something for me..it's just gonna take you a minute to check out these wonderful etsy shops..you'll probably find something new, something you like..maybe even make a purchase..or start a new friendship or, make a sale of your own. but most importantly, you'll be passing the good karma on..being nice for no particular reason than it just feels so damn good..peace out ..share the love.
