Here's to Handmade Holiday Success!

I Took The Handmade Pledge! BuyHandmade.org

Etsy is sponsoring a Holiday Boot Camp to help promote handmade and vintage gift-giving this holiday season. With so many unemployed and financially troubled, it makes more sense than ever to support independent artists and craftspeople.

We at Holly&Sage pledge to participate in the Etsy Success Holiday Boot Camp to the best of my abilities. I vow to check in every week, do my homework and support my fellow Holiday Boot Campers. I will read the weekly newsletters and blog posts, check in on the weekly forum thread, read the weekly blog post, check off the checklists and salute the mascot. I promise to share what I've learned with those who need it, support my fellow Etsy indiepreneurs and, most of all, have a positive and persistent attitude. I understand that together we can spread the word about our handmade and vintage goods, making this holiday season a more unique and meaningful one to gift givers and give-ees everywhere!
