Etsy Experience and A Winner!


Oh my goodness! 
The last two days, since I first started selling on Etsy,
 have been exciting ... and a lot of work too.

Thank you so much for all your great tips, advice
 and kind offers of help.
I will be reaching out to you...I am sure.
Your encouragement has been so uplifting!

See the sweet little holy water font in the photo above?
It sold within 10 minutes of listing it.
And guess what? 
you won't believe it...
I was actually...momentarily... disappointed...
 as I had spent the morning taking photos, editing photos,
 writing a description, researching and figuring out a price...

...and now I have to wrap it up and send it away!

Silly me...I know...that's the point of all this...
and really,
 I am delighted.
This whole Etsy shop thing might actually work for me!


just listed!

 
The same thing happened with my beautiful metal tole wall sconce
 which I recently found and showed you.

So even though I have been adding items to the shop...
...things have sold quickly and it still looks empty!

 My hats off to all of you successful Etsy sellers
 ...because there is a lot more to this whole process than I ever imagined...
and I surely have a lot to learn.

But...at least I have started!


In the last two days I have sold... 5
 of my pretty blue green Belgium beer bottles!
There are 4 still listed
 and I am about to give one away to one of YOU!


...and the randomly selected winner is...

Vicki at Ranger 911

But...thanks to ALL of you for your well wishes and support.

Instead of heading off to the flea market this morning...
I did my treasure hunting at home...
and am happy to report
 that I have dug up some goodies to list in the shop.

We have a busy week ahead
 but the plan is to list something new each day.
Stay tuned!
:)

What am I grateful for today?
Kindred spirits who like the same things I do
 and encouraging friends willing to share their experiences.
