Well I just up and opened up an etsy shop! And I can't wait to fill it with handmade pretties. I don't know if I am doing this the right way, or if there is a right way? Starting out with an empty shop?! I am actually pretty nervous about the whole thing. I think it's the shipping and customer service. I want to do it right, and am so scared of royally messing up something! I want to make things that are really well made, that will stand up to whatever it is they are being made for. Oh, and not to mention the time management thing! I don't want my little family (um, I mean big family!), and my little home, and my little life to just fall apart here. I see this venture as making things when I can and seeing if anyone's interested! I have thought about doing craft shows, but I don't have the time right now to have a bunch of things made at once. So, I'll see how it goes...the shop may close down in a month, who knows?! But I am hoping it's a big success, of course!
Well, I can assure you your empty Etsy shop is selling just as much as mine is! I feel the same way about the shipping and billing and such. Scares me to death. If I ever stop making stuff for me, maybe I can give it a shot. But let me tell you, I'm buying whatever you're selling!!
