E commerce and the economy

I make costume jewelry for sale, and in Nov '08 started selling online at http://justbeads.com/ and http://redartproductions.etsy.com/ - now justbeads website crashed and the economy sucks. Everyone seems unwilling to spend money. Christmas was miserly, at least in my circle. It makes it difficult for those of us who are trying to earn an income as independent artisans difficult. I don't have the answer, and I have friends in the same situation. We are all wondering what to do, where to list, will anyone still be willing to buy our work? etc.
The only thing I can think of to do, at least at a personal level, is to hang in, continue to pursue my dream, and hope that the economy stabilizes sooner rather than later. In some regard, I liken it to dealing with chronic pain. You adjust to a certain level and learn to function; then when the pain becomes worse or something else starts hurting, you initially may be stopped in your tracks, but you adjust, and begin functioning again. The economy is like that chronic pain. Right now, it's worse, but if we keep a good attitude, we'll adjust and go on with our lives, albeit with an understanding of any new limitations.
To get back on point here, I'm looking for new places to list my jewelry and in the meantime, networking more than is really comfortable for me, and uploading pics of my jewelry for sale to my webalbum, which is a public album. http://picasaweb.google.com/home?tab=mq
Yes, it has family and friends' photos on it, but nothing that isn't fit for public viewing, so who cares?
