Hi there,

Halloween is quickly approaching, and I can feel the excitement in the air and on Etsy. Dressing up in crazy costumes and eating candy — what a perfect opportunity for some team bonding! Read on to hear about some teams' fun (and spooky) takes on this holiday.

The next Teams Office Hours will be on Tuesday, October 12 at 12 p.m. ET in the Virtual Labs — click on the "Classroom" to join.

Promo Love

Founded only a few months ago, the Etsy Promo Love Team has come a long way. They have a popular group on Facebook, create team-themed treasuries, and the team leaders come from all over the world. Recently, they even launched their very own online magazine, the second issue of which should be out later this year. Check it out!

Fun Down Under

The Down Under Street Team just held its inaugural conference this year. Read this write up about the event and you might just get inspired to put one together for your team...

Team Halloween

I've been seeing lots of great Halloween-related team activities lately. The HC Street Team has posted instructions for how to make spider web paintings on their blog. The Jewelry on Etsy Team has dedicated some spooky accessories to the holiday, and Made in Vermont is hosting a Halloween giveaway. How is your team celebrating Halloween?

What's Going on at Etsy?

I wanted to give everyone an update about how things are coming along with Etsy Groups. This new site feature, which will enable team leaders to update their own team profiles, is currently still undergoing beta testing. We've been learning a lot and have made a ton of improvements. Right now, since we are in the midst of migrating data over to our new and improved system we have put a brief hold on updating or creating new teams. We are very close to the finish line in the beta testing phase,
building in all the new suggestions and working out all the kinks before the new feature goes live.

We can't wait to share all our hard work with you. Until then, thanks for your patience!

Best,
Morgan
