CaféMia is on Etsy

For the last year or so, my wife Mia has been a huge Etsy fan.  Periodically, I’ll find small packages mysteriously showing up at our doorstep from remote parts of the world from people with names like “The Black Apple”…

As I looked over Etsy’s website I thought, what a cool idea, giving artists and craftspeople a platform to show and sell their original work.  What did these people do before?  Maybe they would contact galleries, gift shops and the sort, hoping to have their work picked up and displayed.  Our friend Rosa Murillo, who has created beautiful original art for CaféMia, has her own Etsy store.  What a great tool, empowering talented people and giving them a worldwide audience that they would never have otherwise been able to reach.  Cool stuff.

Although most of the items on Etsy are clearly non-edible, there are a few food items creeping in every day.  In fact I recently noticed a summer category called ‘Slow Food’.  In any event, since CaféMia prides itself in hand crafted artisan gelato, I thought, why not give it a try?  Check out CaféMia on Etsy.  Know someone not living in the Charlotte area that might want to try out our gelato?  No problem, we’ll make it, ship it on dry ice anywhere in the country.  Although we’ve grouped our offerings into ‘collections’, Etsy users can also request custom combinations or even custom flavors.  Let us know what you think.
