Calling all Etsy Ireland Team Members

Want to be featured on handmade spark? They are looking for Etsy Teams to feature in their Galleries in the run up to Christmas.

So that got us thinking how to choose the 10 shops/items to feature. How do we make it fair? How do we include everyone? How do we best represent the team?



...... and this is what we've come up with: We have chosen 5 easy to fit into categories Red, Yellow, Blue, Black & Green (afterall we are the irish team as Purls rightly told me) and we will vote for our favourites in each category but more on that next week.




This week we are asking you all to nominate an item from your own shop, which fits into one of the above colour categories. We only want one item per person, not one item per category because everyone deserves a shot no matter what their level or sales and we don't want to saturate the list with all the same sellers.


Just leave a comment below with a link to your item and which category it fits best. Your chosen item must have clear photography and have craftyirelandteam as one of your item tags. You have 7 days to submit your item so get commenting & next week we'll have the vote.

    If at first....and all that...tenth attempt to paste it and it decides to paste.
    so, for better or worse, I'm going for GREEN with Connemara marble.

    That's odd that the link didn't want to post. It must be a glitch. I just checked the backend, but couldn't see anything different or wonky. Glad that it is working now.

    Sorry AM hadn't checked here. Not closed until Monday so anyone can still enter until then.

    So far we have 6 for Black; 4 for Blue; 6 for Green; 7 for Red and 3 for Yellow.

    I was thinking of putting you in yellow Nancy to build up the entries in that category but i think it fits blue better.

    I've got to ask the question....What happens if an item voted in gets sold before the chosen 10 appear in the gift guide? Is it 'well done you on your sale; next runner up gets forwarded?'

    I'm sticking my Wine Charms in Yellow. http://www.etsy.com/listing/34350374/red-yellow-and-blue-antique-silver

    I don't think so AM. I would imagine the link to the item will still be forward to Handmade Spark & the shop would just get a plug instead.
