Trades. 


I love trades. Especially if the trade is something i can use to make jewelry with. 
I found this group called the Trade-A-Holics. I havent traded anything yet but they seem like a great group. They are an Etsy team but u can follow their blog even if u arent a member....... Trade A Holics .




"The Etsy Trade-a-holic Team’s purpose is to trade amongst it’s members and other interested shops. Thru trading, we self & cross promote, receive feedback and build our sales plus gain wanted or needed items. We also strive to maintain an organized and updated list of people willing to barter for what they want & need."

Etsy Chat forum.. Trade room

I have to say that I LOVE the trade room in the etsy chat forum. I've gotten some cool stuff. one time I spent 3 hours in that room talking to people and trading . One trading buddy is in Rhode Island. Since i am in Massachusetts we get our trades the day after we send them :) I trade mostly for pendents or something I can reuse to make jewelry.
I received a purple shell pendent and a glass sea horse pendent from http://UnexpectedTreasure.etsy.com
A fairy pendent from http://AllThatGlittersbyKML.etsy.com
and magnets from http://glamazon08.etsy.com
