I’m still pretty new at being able to sell the things that I make. With past hobbies or crafts (stained glass and jelly making to name a few) I’ve gone all gung-ho and made as many things as I can to give away to family and friends and then having nothing else to do with the fruits of my labor, moved on to the next obsession. So now that I’ve got a shop on Etsy, I’m able to put rosaries and other jewelry up for sale. As I said, I’m still relatively new at this but I get an extraordinary burst of joy when I see the e-mail from Etsy saying that something has sold. It doesn’t seem to matter whether it’s a small or large piece.
So I know that I keep mentioning it but do you know about Etsy? It’s really an amazing place to shop. Everything for sale is either handmade or vintage (or a combination of the two). There are sellers from all around the world and you can buy just about anything you could ever imagine (and some things that you never could). For example there’s the weird, the wild, and the huh??? There’s also stuff that you wonder how you ever lived without it (like fabulous lip balm)… you know you need a new flash drive, right? and who doesn’t love popcorn?
So I’m hoping for an influx of sales as we enter the holiday season (so head over to Beatitude Boutique or Jewels from Jules and take a look… hint, hint). Right now I actually have all items marked down by 10% in my stores. In fact, many Etsy sellers have started thier holiday sales early for Black Friday/Cyber Monday - if you search for ‘etsyholidaysale’ you get a list of all items that have special discounts through November 30th!
Happy Shopping!
