New Ventures........

After much deliberation and advice from my lovely blogging and facebook friends, I have done it!  What may you ask - well, opened an Etsy shop.  It is something I have thought about for a long while.  I am a ditherer as you may have gleaned from my blog posts.  If something can be put off, I am your man (woman) so to speak.  Procrastination should be my middle name.  I gave myself a good talking to and got to grips with listing, taking photographs, describing, measuring etc etc, oh and then there was how much should an item be!!!


Bespoke Vintage Lace Corsage
 
I have been making lots of accessories with a view to opening a shop online.  I took a lot of images of my work and listed away, until my friend Gill told me about online photo editing!  Back to the beginning and enhancing each and every image and re listing them.

A few wrist cuffs were listed to complete a small selection of work for sale. So after much tweaking the shop is now open.

It is so lovely to see the sun is shining, and summer has finally arrived.  Until next time......

  3. I can't wait to have a look! I agree with the remark above - we women take everything in life so personally, but we must not be faint-hearted! Good luck with the shop and, most importantly, have fun with it.
    What's the name of your shop?
