" />" width="500" height="214" alt="ccb" />" />I absolutely love my etsy shop. But I mostly love it when I sell stuff.
When I sell something from my store, no matter how small, it gets me PUMPED. I yell out to whomever is listening, "I sold something! I sold something!", say a little thank you prayer, and get to packing it up.
Most recently, I sold this book.
It was a great book.
Packing it up is one of my favorite parts. I pack all of my vintage things in fabric remnants tied up with ribbons. I make a pretty, pretty package. Receiving packages should be fun. I try to make sure the person receiving their order feels a flutter of excitement when they pull it out of the box. I try to add a little surprise like the one below. It is usually a vintage toy, that may or may not bring back a memory or two for the recipient. I add a thank you card that I designed over at www.vistaprint.com for cheap. The cards feature my Nanny is a swimsuit in the snow. She was a character.
If I am not selling stuff, and spending time photographing, uploading, and describing merchandise, I feel like a big 'ol time waster. I have an affliction that renders me utterly ambitionless unless I am successful, like immediately. So. AND, my favorite part of the etsy experience was going out to find the goods at thrift stores, estate sales, and yard sales and now that I don't have that to look forward to, I've lost momentum. Ho hum.
congratulations.

ReplyDeleteI love the 'lil toys you put on there. That blonde chick reminds me of my childhood. We prolly scratched each other up over those once or twice way back in the day. Let me know when you want me to "follow friday" you on twitter. I've got a whole buncha followers now. You're store looks pretty full... so maybe this Friday? Next time I see you, we can do another photo shoot/modeling sesh also. It'll be SWEET.
ReplyDeleteHaley, That is so neat that you add a little surprise to your shipments. You always add a special touch to everything you do. That's "Hayley Style". I hope you sell some more stuff.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you as you celebrate the Day of Giving Thanks.
Thanks ya'll. Sister, you must mean YOU scratched ME up over those things as children, 'cause I was the sweet, sharing type. You were, well, the opposite of that. Remember?
ReplyDeleteThanks Janice. Happy Thanksgiving to you to! Wish we could been there on Saturday!!
