Adding "Handmade" to your Wedding Registry!
Contributed by: Ellie - My Little Chickadee Creations
I think making your wedding registry is one of the most fun parts of organizing a wedding (at least it was for me! LOL). I just wish I had known about Etsy when I was getting married because I would have loved to have added handmade and vintage items to my wedding
registry from Etsy.
Etsy does not have an official Wedding or Gift Registry but there are ways to let your family and friends know about your handmade and vintage wishes.
One way is as you browse Etsy and you can add your favorites to your favorites list, you can contact each seller and ask them to set up a wedding registry listing for what you would like. Then that seller can email you the link which you can give your family and friends. Once the purchase has been made the listing is gone. Click here for an example of a Wedding Registry listing in my shop which I will keep up until the wedding takes place.
Other ways on Etsy that you can make your Wedding Registry wishes public is, like I mentioned, you can add items to your "Favorites" and when you go into "Your Etsy" and click on "Favorites" and you will see a Share link and share on Facebook for example.
You can also create a Treasury. What is a treasury, you ask? It's a collection of 16 items and you can share it as well in email or online through your fave social media. To create a treasury, go to the main page of Etsy and scroll down and on the left you will see a link for
"Treasury." Over on the right you will see a button for "Create a List". You can name the list like "Ellie and Mark's Wedding Registry" and add items by item number which you find down on the right hand side of the product page. I just copy/paste that number into my treasury. Click here to view a wedding themed treasury I made.
If this sounds like too much, then I would suggest to use a 3rd party website that you can use for your Wedding Registry. For example the Amazon Universal Wish List (US only) and you can add items you find from any website to your list.
Here are some more resources:
www.myregistry.com/
www.wishpot.com/
www.wists.com/
www.thethingsiwant.com/
www.kaboodle.com/
Here is to your beautiful wedding.....may you have a wonderful day and
a lifelong marriage!

Favorite Fall/Autumn Colors
Curated by: MidnightCoiler
The colors of autumn leaves are many, so I chose to focus on three. Yellows and golds for cheery brightness and contrasting purple for its rich depth. I hope these lovely items capture the mood of crisp sunny days to come. These are just a few of the vibrant offerings for you from the artisans of the Etsy Treasury Team.

It's time for a Giveway!!
Our fabulous creator of this month's ETTEAM giveaway is Jenny Hoople of Authentic Arts on Etsy.
From Jenny: "My good friend has told for years that I should sell some of the crafts that I am compelled to make. (I also knit, sew, paint, crochet, garden, etc. I'm always telling people that my hobby is picking up new hobbies!) I started making jewelry in July of 2009, and haven't been able to stop, so I decided to sell it! I choose knotted silk because I like its history, it's more romantic! I choose "natural" materials (stone, bone, wood, shell, silk) because even when altered by human hands and arranged and strung by them, the beauty of the processes that formed them breaks through and dazzles me.
Really, this jewelry is so wonderful because it's so much more meaningful than something that was mass-produced. Everything is designed and crafted by yours-truly from start to finish. An authentic life is a more meaningful one, and, for me, an authentic life is one that's handmade."
Giveaway item:
This colorful "Sashimi" necklace is an eye-catching combination of melon-red, lighter reddish-orange and turquoise, a perfect and unique accent for summer.
Specifications:
* 18" long
* Made with red aventurine, melon-dyed quartz, apatite.
* Silver-plated lobster clasp.
* Hand-knotted on silk (to prevent bead loss in case of breakage, and prevent bead abrasion)
Round, bright salmon-dyed quartz and light red aventurine are separated by small, sparkly chips of cheery, turquoise apatite. Comes packaged in a cotton-lined jewelry box, perfect for gift-giving!
How to enter:

Featured ETTEAM seller: NoWonder
Contributed by: NiftyKnits
This is Neomi of NoWonder
Favourite smell?
Vanilla!
Favourite place?
I love London for the atmosphere, New York for diversity, Jerusalem for the History and Venice for the beauty.
Favourite sound?
I'm not sure about sound but I do love the Beatles!
How did you get started?
It started as a school (uni, graphic design) project. I always loved the book "Alice in Wonderland" as I feel that you can interpret it in so many ways and as such do a lot with it. I loved the original illustrations and started playing with that adding some of the original text from the book. I was very happy with the result and wanted to do something more with it. I started taking some sewing, and textile printing courses and created "No Wonder"
Favourite item in your shop of all time?
My Feminine Alice dress
Why?
It's very feminine and design to flatter almost every woman. I initially designed it for a friend - she's a size 46 (US 14). She wore it to a banquet with our (Israel) president and many ambassadors, she got a lot of compliments that day. I wear it often, I'm a size 38 (US 6) and I too get complimented on it.
What is your best seller on Etsy?
My woollen scarves.
Why do you think they're so popular?
They are unique as they are made from very soft 100% woollen fabric and have my prints on them.
Favourite shop that isn’t yours?
I can't really name just one as I love shopping especially for accessories - Bags, Jewelry etc. If I didn't stop myself I'd be shopping on Etsy all day. There are so many talented designers on Etsy.
What has been the most useful lesson you’ve learnt so far that you’d like to pass on to our readers?
Don't be afraid to just go for it, but be prepared to work hard on marketing! It's very important to have great pictures. If you do than you can just give it a go and see what happens. It takes time and a lot of work. You need to learn how to work the net.
Niftyknits: Very true!
