MAG Supply Swap

Some of the MAG members got together today in the Eclectica Miami shop's parking lot to throw down and have a supply swap!

Members got rid of unwanted crafting goods and were blessed with someone else's crafting junk to make wonderful things out of. I know we all thought ours was the worst and who would want 'that'? but... a glorious day was had by all and everyone went home with a good feeling in their tummies and lots of new ideas in their heads.

Mega Beth Tour Miami • Etsy admin visits MAG!

We got to meet a celebrity...an ETSY employee! Beth from ETSY reached out and touched the Miami Artisans Guild in January 2008. She was in town for a conference on e-tailing and got in touch with one of us (Eclectica) who invited her to her brick-and-mortar store...she called me (Phbeads) to give her a ride since I was heading out to the store anyway taking Kate and Robbie with me. Beanblossom met us there. It was an impromptu ETSY bash! We got a chance to chat, bring up ideas and suggestions for ETSY and we were rewarded with a feature in the ETSY storque! Go Miami Artisans Guild! We made the ETSY connection!
