Maybe you can get there from here after all. 2009-03-18 - 12:15 p.m. Oh frabjous day! Yesterday I sold my first photograph through Etsy! And you�ll never guess who bought it� Jen Lemen! I met Jen at BlogHer �07. She was a lovely soul and, even back then, very encouraging of my photography, so when I got my Etsy shop up and running I thought I�d let her know (I saw she was online at gmail, so I impulsively messaged her). To be honest, I was sort of hoping for some kind words to perk me up a bit. I know that I don�t really have the whole �how to drive traffic to my site� down, so it�s kind of discouraging to put something up and then, in a matter of a couple of days, get buried under the avalanche of newer offerings on Etsy. Within minutes she messaged that she�d not only checked out my stuff and liked it, but had bought something as well. I was floored but, sure enough, I got the notification email from Etsy within moments. Today she emailed me the following: �this image is so deep for me. it's how i feel right now--like i'm walking through fire on a path that opens at just the right moment. kind of like the red sea parting. thanks for creating something that speaks to my soul� How cool is that? My first sale! And to a Shutter Sister no less! Wanna see it? Okay, I�m inspired and taking the plunge: here it is. No guarantees how long I�ll leave this link up though�

That means no swiping my stuff - text, images, etc. - without asking.
