pssssst. btw. if you wanna shop small online but hate etsy's AI/dropshipper-ridden search results, there's a site for that.
it's called Marmalade and it's AWESOME. every artist is vetted by their team, and all shop listings lead to artists' individual shops so that artists can take payment however they want and don't have to make a whole new shop to join! You can just use existing shop descriptions and pics and link the Marmalade listing right back to your OG one!!
i just joined and got my shop set up but i've been poking around and there is SO MUCH COOL STUFF!!!! so if you want an easier way to support artists and avoid dropshippers/AI, I highly recommend. not paid to endorse, i'm just a huge fan of this awesome site the Marmalade team has made!!!! more people should know that this exists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
