Selling your craft…paying for PR?

You take a lot of care and interest in making a wonderful item. You select a shop name, you get your etsy or artfire or website up and running, you carefully consider your pricing, you post your pictures and then what happens???

Maybe you begin to question the value of your item or even of etsy? Just look at this: Etsy has 30 categories, in the children category alone there are about 397 thousand items listed…there is not even a bow category…which I have seen some . . . → Read More: Selling your craft…paying for PR?

My mom made items

Yes, I support all the small business/etsy shops out there because I know it’s not easy moving your valued product. I enjoy promoting your business and hearing about sales/traffic increases…

I too make things. Not too much anymore and it took me three weeks to get these pacifier keepers (or binkie bling) made but, I got ‘er done! There is a cute gift shop up the road in West Jefferson Oh (the Abbey) that allows some consignors and I have appreciated having my items in . . . → Read More: My mom made items

Inspired {giveaway}

(A winner has been selected, I removed Lynda’s comment since she is technically not entering to win her own goodies.)

Mom Made, Mom Sold

When I first got onto blogland it was to help showcase my bracelets, pacifier holders and keepsake boxes. Everyone said that blogging was a good way to do that but once here I was sort of lost. It was hard to get people to even look at my blog, never mind sell anything.

Soon, I got away from talking about boxes and binkie holders but I always wished there was a place that I was aware of and could have turned to for assistance and . . . → Read More: Mom Made, Mom Sold

Kid Room Initials

I am working on my kids’ room re-do. It was brown dots with some pink and aqua-ish colors. We are having a black stained wooden bed being made for my daughter so that means we had to re-do somethings. We have moved out some shelves, added new ones and started some painting.
