I can only imagine what Julie and her husband went through getting their gorgeous late 19th-century home ready for the Etsy MN Fall boutique last week. It’s a brave thing, inviting tons of strangers into your home to buy and sell – it makes me think old-school merchants were brave people, braver than me, certainly! Julie and family pulled it off beautifully, and the woman never stopped working over the course of the day to make it the best experience possible for everyone. A few of us at the show were jokingly referring to her as “the blur.” One moment, there, the next wooshing by in a flurry of preparatory awesomeness.

I also got a chance to meet some other fantastic sellers, and the walkthrough was nice – given our super simple publicity plan of mailing out postcards and using our personal promotion resources, I have to say this came out very, very well.

Among the many fabulous people present – and please, send me a comment if I left you out! were:
