In progress

What a winter weekend this has been! Snow, snow and more snow! I love it. I love it even more that I can stay home in it. I can enjoy the fire in the wood burning stove and be in my pj's allll dayyy longgg.

These past few weeks I've been working hard and studying photgraphy, lighting, my camera's manual... I've been in contact with a few professional photographers that are more than willing to give me advice in my merchandising... It's still a work in progress and my vision hasn't completely been fulfilled, but here it is so far:

Both of these are for sale in my shop, just fyi. ;-)

I did an awesome thing this week, too. I'm quite proud that I was even able to donate a little...
There is an Etsy shop, OzBushfireAppeal.etsy.com that's donating all proceeds to the Australian Red Cross. This was made in response to the recent wild fires. I donated a blouse, it sold for $20 in a few hours. All I have to do is ship it out and all that money goes to the organization. How cool is that?

That's all for now, I think I'm gonna make myself a cup of hot chocolate!

Etsy happenings

In preparation for my store makeover, I'll be having sales until then... I have items that are soon up for renewal, and, really, I'd rather sell them than keep 'em in the shop. Mention this blog and get free first class shipping (in U.S.) on those items. They are already marked down for your viewing pleasure. Click on the photos to see their listings and a few more, too.

I am so greatful for how this shop has come along. I've been shipping to Australia, Canada, Europe...this list goes on. I love interacting with people so far away...my mind wanders off trying to figure out their style and personality based on their purchase. Some are just natural quirky with the crazy prints they purchase...others are classy and feminine...but all are creative, no doubt about it. Other sellers on Etsy are so nice, too and friendly. I have a great sense of community when I chat with any user on it.

I've been steady with sales and happy with that. For now, this shop just give me a little extra spending money to goof off. Off sets the fact I don't work full time to begin with. I love scouting out the items too, it's a bit of retail therapy that I don't feel guilty about! I've got sooo many more items that are not listed in the shop...I really hope the new set takes off without a hitch. I want to share them with the world. And the saga continues...
