I had never heard of etsy so I took a look--you're right. It's massive. I was also curious about the organization--if you list under childrens-->baby-->hat , then do you still get listed under clothing-->hat and under crochet? On Ebay, if you want to list in multiple categories, you pay extra. I would hope you didn't have to do that here. Then again, you would probably get the most "foot traffic" under "children" anyway.

I'm dubious about just how much sales people generate from sites like this, but I suspect that with such low listing fees, it's worth having it up there just in case. As someone else said, it only takes selling one thing to recoup your costs. I would go ahead and try it. You never know. I would also consider just making up a name for yourself ("Velvetwear" "Crochet Bouquet" "Petits Anges" or some such thing) so you appear professional and putting an ad in your local "Craigslist" (http://hamilton.craigslist.org/) -- absolutely free and you never know who might reply to that.

Btw, the pic is cute, but didn't you have a really adorable one of Claire in the hat?
