Back in April, we shared the news that our Etsy shop was unhappy with changes at Etsy and joined the #EtsyStrike. Since then, we banded together with a team of fellow artisans and supportive customers to begin building an alternative handmade marketplace called Artisans Cooperative. In this post, we'll tell you all about it!

We are joining the ✊ #EtsyStrike ✊ and putting our Etsy store on vacation mode April 11-18. In this post, we'll tell you what the strike is, why we're joining it, and what we want.

We regret to announce that we have raised prices on our Etsy webstore -- but not on our website. In this post, we'll discuss: exactly what is happening with Etsy fees, the complications of increasing material costs, and the moral quandaries in Etsy's rapidly changing marketing policies.
