Last Thursday a not so little group of crafters and artists (that already sell or plan on selling on Etsy) met up in the uber-lovely Patisserie and Café Herr Max in Hamburg.
The event was held by two thirds of the german Etsy team in Berlin, Matt and Marie, who welcomed every new arriver warmly to the group and invited them to order whatever they wanted (how lovable is that?).
It is on events like this I realize again and again: All the great chances and connections the Internet made possible are one thing (and something I love and am grateful for) but nothing beats actually meeting cool and inspiring people in person.
That's a redundant truth, I guess, but it's good to be reminded of it once in a while:)
Matt and Marie talked about the beginnings of Etsy and the current developments regarding the international aspect, like having the possibility to have prices declared in Euros instead of US-Dollars.
For the most part we all exchanged experiences, got to know each other a bit enjoyed delicious cakes and coffee and had a lot of fun.
There really always is a special athmosphere in the air, when a lot of creative people meet up, it was lovely:)
I somehow forgot to take pictures, so I am gonna lend this one Matt made.

You can find more pictures and info about the MeetUp on the German Etsy Blog (in german apparently;))
