Etsy Home Party Central is a blog used to orchestrate and organize a new kind of home party, an Etsy Home Party.
So what is Etsy? "Etsy is the World’s handmade marketplace" with sellers and buyers from across the globe. In short, it is a venue for artisans and craftsman of all kinds to sell their goods online. So the products available for purchase are not some mass produced corporate concoction but something made or collected by a real person who will directly benefit from your purchase. Learn more
But Etsy is more than that. Etsy is a community made up of the buyers and sellers from around the world. There are shops and blogs, events, workshops, teams, you name it! One of the most ingenious elements of the Etsy online environment is the Treasury.
What's a Treasury? A Treasury is "An ever-changing, member-curated shopping gallery." In other words, you make the shopping gallery. Anyone can go to Etsy, register and create a collection of sixteen items based on any idea, any word, thought, theme, purpose or whim.
That Treasury goes up on the site and everyone can shop those items. Every hour on the hour, Etsy picks one of the hottest Treasuries to go on the front page of the site creating a built in marketing system generated by the buyers and sellers themselves. Learn more
So, every Etsy Home Party is based on a custom Treasury or collection of Treasuries based on a unique idea or theme. Therefore, no Etsy Home Party will be like another. The "catalog" of featured items is different every time.
