I absolutely loved it! It brings you back to reality and makes you asks the question, what is it you really want to do? Be serious and make a living or just play? I have often had this dilemma myself and have read many articles on this, but as I become custom to this world of blogging and meeting wonderful people along the way, I say always have a plan A, B, and C and if you have to fall back on that B or C to make a living, you really should value yourself and what you make. This is the best I have heard this explained....in plain simple to understand English! Thanks! Kaila London Can you say what a post? I absolutely loved it!

Good for you for saying it! And it's true, we're all in this together, and if we undervalue our own work, we are, in a sense, undervaluing every other handmade artisan's work at the same time because people will start to expect us to work for free. I love Etsy, but this is my main problem with it. Sometimes people will be a hard time for our prices, but I don't think we need to apologize for paying ourselves a living wage. I AGREE!!!
