Follow Etsy Recyclers On Twitter use #Wastenot So We Can Find You!

CALLING ALL TWEETERS!

 Please "Follow Us" on Twitter, our Twitter Team Name is EtsyRecyclersGT .  We use the tag  #wastenot in some of our posts --if you list any items from your shop we encourage you to use that tag as well. That way Heather and I (slowly learning the tweet ropes) can retweet your posts when we see the tag. 

What are we tweeting?  Blog articles, Treasuries that may feature your items, some products from some of our team member's shops, retweets of the #wastenot tag, articles that may be helpful, and Etsy-related things you may like!

Why ?  Etsy makes it easier than ever to tweet items from your shops now, it's free and fun, so why not do it? There is a share button on the side of every treasury, and every single item in your store. We'd be crazy not to gain exposure for our team.

Special thanks to Heather for kicking my butt in gear on this.  Perhaps an old blog dog can learn new tricks...

Get to know our awsome team captain, Cindy of Retro Chalet

I joined the Etsy Recyclers Guild Team a few months ago and have had a pleasant experience from day one. Cindy our team captain and team leader has several shops on Etsy. Her main shop is Retro Chalet and her second shop is Retro Chalet Studio. She sells really cool vintage stuff including vintage buttons, vintage Melmac, vintage block letters, vintage advertising and other vintage items at Retro Chalet.

Her Etsy bio says, "Dumpster Diving Diva, Recycler, Artist, Writer, and Greenie. Proud Team Leader of the Etsy Recyclers Guild. Member of the Vintage Etsy Society Street Team. Do-gooder".

Lot of vintage buttons $12.00


In her Retro Chalet Studio shop, she sells a variety of cute recycled handmade art things such as poker chips with cute images taken from vintage books and other sources (these are made into pendants), mixed media collages and other jewelry pieces.

WATER LILY - Pendant - 1930s Vintage Ephemera - Eco Friendly Blue Poker Chip Pond Plant Pendant $12.95


Cindy is the type of person who is willing to go above and beyond for anyone. She's always willing to promote other team members because that's just who she is. I've never met her in person, but we have exchanged quite a few messages and I feel as if I've gotten to know her. She's a genuine person who would give anyone the shirt off her back if it came down to it. She gives 110% and more in everything she does. I would like to thank Cindy from the bottom of my heart for everything she has done for our team and for me. You can get to know Cindy better by clicking the links below:
