Purchase A Domain Name and Forward it To Your Etsy Shop
The most limited aspect of the Etsy Shop platform is the Address. I can not remember even my FAVORITE Etsy shops. While this isn't a problem for current Members [due to favorite features], it is complicated to share with outsiders and potential new customers. SO
*Buy a Domain that is easy to remember and then FORWARD it to your shop address. [No need to mask it... besides the side sub pages will be fully copy / paste accurate if you do not mask the URL... SO suggest you just use the FORWARD DOMAIN feature INCLUDED FREE with your DOMAIN PURCHASE
[tip about Domain Purchase: select Auto Renew and at least 2 Years because search engines like Longevity in a URL and will always give Domains with 2 years or more registration priority over shorter terms. This applies to Hosting as well, but you do NOT need to purchase HOSTING because it is already included in your ETSY SHOP KEEPER SERVICE AGREEMENT. Unless you want your own website or your own landing page, but, there are other FREE ways to accomplish that.]
Go to GypsyOwl Commerce and purchase your domain today. Want more information about GypsyOwl Commerce on Squidoo?

The Crochet Angel - Grandma Deal
Twenty-Five Percent of all Sales Benefit "Hats for Homeless"!
The Crochet Angel specializes in handmade shopping bags, totes, hats, scarves, and fingerless gloves. (see the above fingerless gloves created by Grandma Deal aka Linda Deal for GypsyOwl aka Deborah Bryan.
Grandma Deal has been featured on Crochet Designs by JaguarJulie Julie is The Squid of the Year 2008 (Giant Squid 100 Club, Squid Angel Retired, Lens of The Day, and much more!)
Julie Said:
One of my friends on Squidoo, grandma_deal is a masterful crocheter who crochets hats for the homeless. She's written lenses about her crocheting hats and earth-friendly crochet shopping bags.
When I visited her crocheted bags lens, I was interested in getting some for myself to give as gifts. I asked her if she could do them in teal. She found the perfect color for a Jaguars fan! Linda crocheted 6 large earth-friendly shopping bags and one cute smaller bag with pretty dragonfly charms. Linda will soon be offering her crochet designs on Etsy!
GypsyOwl Said
One morning I was chatting with Jaquar Julie on Twitter and mentioned something that indicated my fingers had been too cold to type. Julie said she was wearing a pair of fingerless gloves.
Within a few hours, I had the information I needed to contact Grandma Deal , visit her Etsy shop, and order some for myself. The next day, they were finished and in the mail. Linda Deal is amazing!
Then, I discovered that she is THE Remarkable Women behind the Hats for Homeless! She is talented, humble, and a delight to work with! I'll be contacting her for more precious handmade items for myself and for gifts.

- Deb -- I love what you have done to benefit the wonderful indie designers at Etsy! These designers are some of the most talented artists that I've seen -- I've just met yet another Cofygirl who is knitting me a turtleneck poncho -- I can't wait! Grandma Linda Deal is a pretty special lady -- thanks for giving her a feature -- what she does to benefit Hats for the Homeless is quite remarkable! Hope you enjoy your fingerless gloves.
