What is the name of your shop? My shops name is Northern Dlights

How long have you been open?  Since May 2014

How long have you been doing your craft? I have been making bath and body products for about 3 years now, but have been making scented candles melts for about 11 years 
​

How did you get started ?  I started making candles when my son was small because I wanted to help supplement my husband's income and I wanted to be able to stay at home at the same time. I started making soap about 3 years ago because I was always fascinated by the whole process of it and how all all the ingredients benefit our lives. I also love knowing how much people love what I make and knowing that I made it myself, with my own two hands. ​

What do you like about selling on Etsy?  I really love that I don't have to do all the maintenance and work like I do with having my own website, and also that Etsy has a good traffic base already established, so it is easier for my product to be seen through Etsy. ​

What brought you to Etsy?  The fact that it is mostly all handmade products. And that it is so easy to work with

​What's been your best Etsy experience? The first time I actually heard that Cha-ching! lol. I think I had gotten two or three orders before I actually heard it. It was awesome! I love that sound! lol

Is there anything else you would like to share with us about your shop or yourself?  I love creating! I am always willing to try new things, and to make something by request. If there is something that people want and I don't have it in my shop, please let me know and I will do my best to make it for them!
