Thanks everyone! Unfortunately this has been really bitter sweet for us, as we were not able to bask in fp glory and attention. Our shop was taken offline by Etsy the day before, because they think we might not be involved enough in our making process.
It would have been so nice to have been asked in a friendly manner and given the opportunity to make our case before being closed down. Instead we are guilty until proven innocent in a very hard nosed fashion. Our attempts to make our case have not been met with any benefit of the doubt.
This has all been so far from the lovely front of house Etsy that we love. We've invested so much time and enjoyed reaching out and meeting so many. As huge Etsy advocates, this is quite heartbreaking.
We'd be very curious to hear if anyone on the team (and beyond) has any specific words of advice.
Many warm regards,
Anna (& Meredith)
