Etsy Questions

I'm new to this whole Etsy thing.  I've only had one real sale (two others from people I know) and I only have 17 things in my shop... but I hope to grow and add more things as time passes.

I'm wondering who of you have shops and what this whole "in my circle" thing means and do you want to be in my circle and can I be in your's??
I feel like I'm friendless on Etsy!
Except for my real life friend Tiffany who has recently started her own shop too!! 
She owns Architecturespeaks and blogs over at Teach. Run. Love. 

She takes the photos herself and makes these great pieces of art!  She can also do custom words like your name!  Check her out! 

Vintage Purses Galore

I've just listed several new items in my Etsy store!!
I've mostly focused on vintage items that I either previously owned or have found at thrift stores! 
I hope to someday add more handmade items, but right now I'm too busy!!
I opened an Etsy store to hopefully earn some money to buy a plane ticket to visit my beloved Grenada!! I miss it so....

Here are a few of my favorites:

 B B and B Travel Goods 

 1950's Simon Handbag

Red Hard Case Purse

                                                                  Woven Straw Purse 

ADG Fashion Imports 

Leather Handbag

My first etsy sale!

I sold my first item on Etsy yesterday!
A beautiful pink purse that I have had in my closet for years and years.
I was a little sad to see it go...
I've truthfully never carried it.  I just liked it and I went through this phase (ok so I might still be in it) where I wanted my closet to look like a store.  I displayed things.
Purses being one of the number one things.
And what more could you want for a closet than a bright pink vintage purse?!
Maybe that's what the buyer was thinking too....

Don't forget about the giveaway going on now!! Not too many people have entered so the chances of winning are really high ;)

I've just started and have listed several vintage items and plan on adding to it in the future with some more handmade items.
When I was beginning this I made a wreath for my best friend and then she had a friend who saw it and wanted one, which turned into their mom wanting one, and sister-in-law, and other friends, and before I knew it I was in the wreath making business!  (if anyone has info as to the difficulty and price of shipping a large grapevine wreath it would be much appreciated, but in the mean time I'm having trouble keeping up with my friends and family!)

In honor all of you lovely friends and the blessings that have been shown to me recently I would like to do a giveaway!! 

A handmade, original, custom wreath just for you!
You can choose from the following or any combo of the following!! Give me some new ideas!  You pick the colors and materials!

 A twine wrapped wreath with felt flowers (12in diameter)

 a vintage embroidery hoop with bunting and yo-yo's (9inch diameter)
