Etsy Forums Lead to Artistic Opportunities

I've read the Etsy forums before, but I decided to thoroughly review them. Through the forums I read some advice to post on Craigslist. Which I promptly did. Amazingly, within less than 15 minutes I had an inquiry about my post! Fabulous.

(Click here for the link to my post and here for the link to the forum thread that was my catalyst.)

This inspired me to do some more digging on Craigslist. This is what I found...
