Definitely! Come to find out Etsy is a website where you, oh great crafty ones, can sell off all of your handmade treasures! (There are those of us who will always be limited to being on the buying end, I'm afraid.) There are forums, a blog, a sellers' showcase where folks can shine a light on their own featured products, and even a Featured Sellers section with interviews that are apparently updated every 3.5 days.
Best part about it? Becoming an Etsy user (buyer or seller) is free. When you list an item you pay a small amount and when you sell it, they get a percentage.
My call? If you're always working on one project after another and other people are constantly commenting on your skills and the great goodies you turn out, telling you to start a shop, this is a really interesting way to do it without having to build your own website and pay for web hosting, site design, and the like!
Excellent info! This would be easy to do for someone who is crafty, but needs an outlet for those crafts!
Sometimes the craft shows can be a huge hassle!
