The Nitty Gritty:
-Can you tell us the meaning behind your Etsy shop name?
The name, believe it or not, comes from the name of a character in a vampire fiction I was working on. Sadly, I lost my train of thought on it and it's currently in my documents folder gathering dust, lol. It is an actual nickname for me from some of my friends, but they've since shortened it to Rayven.


-When did you join Etsy?
Nov. 20, 2008

-What kinds of things are available for purchase in your shop?
Many kinds. Mainly crocheted items like scarves, cozy's, and various others......... I do have bookmarks up as well.
I plan to, hopefully soon, have sewn items and some photographs up for sale so keep an eye out for those.

-What is your favorite item from your shop?
tie between 2 things. The fingerless gloves and the mini purse

-Where do you get your ideas and/or inspiration?
Most just come from the top of my head and I do, not often, follow a pattern. That's how I learned to crochet a bow.

-What advice do you have for other Etsy sellers, especially those just starting out?
Advertise....alot.....all over, any and all sites you visit if possible. Then go to the chat rooms on etsy and advertise there.

-What do you do to promote your shop? Do you blog? Twitter? Facebook?
Myspace?
I have on twitter a little. Haven't had a chance to on myspace and as for facebook......I don't like facebook so that's out of the question
I've also done so on deviantart.
