What is your shop name and URL?

buffet - http://www.buffet.etsy.com/

-Tell me two (or more!) interesting things about you. (Hobbies, achievements, favorite something-or-other, family situation, jobs, etc)

My little sister and I own this etsy shop together! I'm an office lady and she is a baby clothing and accessories designer. We live in Hong Kong. Let's see we both like to travel...probably because Hong Kong is just a city compare to other countries...so we love to go out and see new things and experience the world. Both of us always act like a childa though we are not that young anymore...but this is how we enjoy our lives when there are always so many disasters<<--meaning our day-to-day problems among us.

-What do you sell in your Etsy shop?
Mostly supplies...mainly cute and lovely ones...any kind of supplies we see that are suitable for our shop...also we do handmade items too but not many^^""..we got a full time job u know...so we only have little time to do our own crafting..but we are trying hard on that!! We want to offer items that other etsians may not be able to find in their own countries^^...also my sis do banner/business card design too!!

-To which Etsy Street Teams do you belong (if any)?

none...cauz we dont have much time...and because of the time gap....we think at this moment we cant contribute much to the team...so we've never joined one.

-What inspires your creations?

For me, I like to create with my instant ideas..I create what I have in mind at that time! So most of the time I would have to try a lot of time to get the final result! but I love the process!!

-Tell me a bit about your creative process and/or how you learned to do what you do.

I would first imagine the final result in my head and then start work it out...through the process I do a lot of testing and may not succeed at the beginning...but it feels great when the final item is finished.

-What is your favorite item in your shop (currently for sale or previously sold)?

Currently I would say the cute cards packhttp://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16438570We sold another different set before...I love it because in one box u got to have 72 different style of cards....i always love to use these kinds of cards to write thank you note to my customers...maybe i m too greedy haha...love to have surprises!! and these cards are so cute btw!!

-Why is it your favorite? (Please provide a link)as above

-What 3 words would you use to describe yourself?

Fun! Simple! Playful!

-What do you like about Etsy?

I love the whole etsy society and the environment! People are great here! You see people selling supplies to other etsians...and then they use these supplies to do handmade items...and then all etsians buy these items back for their uses....Just like a little society!! Just love it like that....so hope this will last forever without any kind of pollution u know!

-What makes your shop unique?

Besides normal supplies items...we love to find some exciting and special ones and suggest on how u are going to use these as supplies and to create your own handmade.for exampleshttp://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13278545http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15874432of course...items from Hong Kong is another feature...and we can prove that international shipping is very fine! Just see our feedbacks...customers got item safe and sound!!

-What advice do you have for other folks selling or buying on Etsy?

To believe in yourselves! When we first start out this shop...we think it's hard...and it's really hard...but then when we got our first sale...we know it really works!! of course u need to play fair and obey the rules too!

-Where else can we find out more about you and/or your creations (please include a link)?

we do have a blog but to be honest we update it quite slowly hehehe....but we are improving now!!http://buffettoday.blogspot.com/
