I'm so excited for MakeShopLive and their debut at the Austin Renegade Show. I hope it exceeded all your wildest expectations, KC!
For those of you on the west coast, the San Francisco Holiday Renegade show will be accepting applications soon. Check out an earlier post on our blog by KC for tips on applying to shows. And if you don't want to attend as a vender but are in the area, consider visiting to see what it's all about. I plan to see this one if I can.

TEAM NEWS:
We are steadily growing! We now have 83 members. Helping us to grow should be something everyone works toward. Let your SCAD alumni friends know about us, and pointing out in your own promotional material that you are a member is great advertising for all of us! I'll bet we can make it to 100 members before Thanksgiving with a little nudge from everyone.
There's a lot of great new work from our more experienced members, as well as imaginative additions from our newer peeps. I've noticed some people are joining our group even before they have a completed shop on Etsy! I think this is a great step for a new shop, but don't forget to fill in your personal profile and put up an avatar pic even if you aren't making sales yet.
The Team Member Profiles will continue soon. The summer got away from me and I can hardly believe we're looking at the holidays again- oh, yes, I said holidays. I know I'm scrambling to get my Christmas Section organized. Remember that to maximize your Christmas sales, you want to have your holiday stuff up by Halloween at the latest!! Crazy, I know!!
AWESOMENESS on the DISCUSSION BOARD
Even in the absence of Member Profiles on this blog, our discussion board has been full of great ideas. I want to shout out to Brienna http://www.etsy.com/shop/brienna
at briennapruce.blogspot.com for hosting a virtual gallery of members this spring.
And thanks to everyone who keeps the discussion board lively. It's great to see what everyone is thinking about and anyway, isn't sharing fun?
Keep up the good work, Everyone. If there's anything wondrous and amazing or anything you are just TOO excited about, post a thread on our member discussion board or shoot an email me to get your ideas up on this blog. scadplusetsyequalslove@gmail.com
And of course, keep making your art. (:
