500 Sales Part 3

My third etsy store is called ButtonsBanglesandWeeds. It is mostly for my vintage button jewelry and bangle bracelets, but I also sell my destash supplies there as well. Beads and buttons. I am a flea market addict, in addition to my other addictions like knitting, weaving, jewelry making, crafting, so every Sunday, religiously, I find more crap I don't need. Well, when I see it I think I need it, but then I get home and realize I really didn't. So, for all you beaders, jewelry makes and vintage button addicts, check out my etsy store, and you may find something you really need. My prices are ridiculously low, but it is all because I need to sell things. Celebrate #500 with me, buy something and make it 501.

Team ESST - more goodies

I now have 3 etsy stores destashing my purchases of many years. My newest is crafting supplies, i.e., stamp pads, rubber stamps, embossing inks and powders, wire, postage stamps, and any other thing I might have thought I had the talent to create and found out differently.
check out http://www.sallycrafts.etsy.com if you are a crafter who likes well priced items of great variety.

You still can find my novelty yarns on http://www.threadsinthebed.etsy.com and I am trying to keep at least 100 of a good variety listed, but people keep buying them and I'm definitely not complaining.

Even my beads and vintage buttons destash at http://www.buttonsbanglesandwee.etsy.com is taking off now. I have to admit it is fun to sell things and send them off to a good home.

All my crafty and knitty friends, mucho bargains to be had.

Goals

I'm not really a goal person, hate being pressured to perform, rather let things happen as they will. So setting myself a goal to list 100 items on my etsy store threads in the bed is something I don't usually worry about. But some of my teamies say that the optimum number of items listed is 100 and that is when you get the sales and looks, so I just realized I am at 96 items, so I am going to hurry up and list 4 more just so I can say I did.

Novelty yarns make up most of the items in this store as I have to destash, I just have too many, so I am trying to list a few a day, but danged if someone doesn't up and buy a few every day or so, not that I'm complaining mind you. I love when someone finds some of their favorite yarns and are excited about it and come back to shop again.

The other day I googled a yarn I have been looking for made by Trendsetter, one of my favorite yarn manufacturers, and my store came up about 5 down on the google page as someone who sells Trendsetter yarns. It was quite a funny feeling, of course it listed my buttons bangles and weeds store, which hasn't had yarn in a few years, as I moved my destash to my threads in the bed store, it just seemed more logical to put fibers with fibers.

I have been bad about listing beads and buttons in that etsy store, as I decided to sort them and take pictures just before I list them, but the weather doesn't always cooperate for taking pix when you need them. So my new goal, oh no not another one, will be to list my vintage buttons and beads more regularly. Like a lotto ticket, you can't win if you don't have one, I need to get my buttons and beads listed in order to sell them, duh.

So many goals for this old broad, tweet on twitter, post on your blog, get promoting on facebook, list new items, and still make time to clean the house, work in the garden, etc. - oh the heck with that, the house just gets dirty again, and the weeds just keep popping up. Why bother.

Exciting Scrolling Photos

Wow, a new (to me) site called cr8tivity allows you to show all your items in all your etsy stores in a scrolling photo display. I just downloaded one for all 3 stores. The exciting part is you don't have to go to the etsy store, you can purchase items right here, right now, directly from my blog.

It was a bit of a problem to non-techie me to get them hooked up, but now they are happily scrolling, over there to the right. The yarns and handmade scarves, handbags, etc. for Threads in the Bed are first, as they are my very best sellers, followed by Sally Crafts with all my craft destash, which has been doing quite well too, and lastly by Buttons Bangles and weeds destash with vintage buttons and beads, and of course my famous vintage button brooches, just going from one item to the next. How exciting. Now I need to get more followers to check them out.

Supplies for your addiction

Hello everyone, I am now selling supplies on all 3 of my etsy stores, buttons and beads on http://www.buttonsbanglesandwee.etsy.com/, yarn destash, mostly novelty yarns but many others on http://www.threadsinthebed.etsy.com/, and most recently I have brought http://www.sallycrafts.etsy.com/ alive again to sell my craft supplies that I can't resist buying and think someday I will do something exciting with, and, well you all know how it is.

Glutton for Punishment

Hi all, I just added, or rather resurrected, my 3rd etsy store, sallycrafts, as I have lots of crafty destash to sell, I buy things with the thought in mind that someday I will do something with that, but my real self never gets around to it.

The things I am selling in my http://www.sallycrafts.etsy.com/ store are do jiggies, adhesive back floral and scrapbook types of things, confetti in all shapes, rubber stamps, a few valentine goodies, heart shaped of course. I will have to get an etsy mini for that store too. I do have 8 items listed so far.

I have been busy trying to keep up with all 3 stores, have 65 items in my fiber store, mostly novelty yarns and some handmades, http://www.threadsinthebed.etsy.com/ and am trying to get more than 100 items there.

http://www.buttonsbanglesandwee.etsy.com/ has the beads and buttons I am destashing as well, there are 43 listings there, and I have been selling mostly vintage buttons, but some of my best selling vintage button brooches are there as well.

Finally It's Done

So happy, I just entered my blog on the EtsyFAST team blogroll and hopefully can start showing my team members as followers. I do think perhaps I made a mistake calling my first post Virgin Blogger's. I hope I don't get a bunch of perverts, but won't they be disappointed when all I have to offer is yarn, beads, buttons, button jewelry and handmades. Well, just a little celebration that I actually did it.
