Would Marion Brown have an Etsy shop?

I have a google alert set up for mentions of Sanquhar history.  It's not very active--usually just mentions of the post office.  But today, the link it brought me was to an Etsy story, about Sanquhar knit gloves.  It even mentions the author's father growing up on a dairy farm near Sanquhar.   Now I'm picturing Marion Brown with an Etsy shop, selling her knitting, just to bring in a little extra money; or Aunt Agnes, selling her artisanal cheeses online, to hipsters in Brooklyn...
