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.

Facebook Page almost there

Hi Everyone, I have been trying to wrestle facebook to do what I need, and I think finally I may have succeeded. It keeps me on my toes for sure. I do love to hear from old friends and still try to make it the best place to show all my new creations and destash items. I just listed a few photos and hope they got in the right album. ]

I had a lot of fun looking at old family pictures too, especially me, what was I thinking.

Well, time to get back to etsy and list some yarns, buttons and beads. Check out all 3 of my stores by clicking on the pictures scrolling so nicely across this page.

Almost Here - Team ESST Weekend Extravaganza

The tension is mounting, excitement is in the air, the approximately 25,000 supplies listed by Team ESST members are ready to be viewed by an excited public. Please check out my fellow team members who are selling such wonderful supplies, all types of things for crafters, jewelers, and others.

My personal items for sale are buttons and beads in my http://www.buttonsbanglesandwee.etsy.com/ etsy store, my wonderful destash of novelty yarns, with many name brands such as Trendsetter, Crystal Palace, Plymouth, Berroco, Knitting Fever, and all at half the original price, at http://www.threadsinthebed.etsy.com/ and I have just reinstated my third etsy store, http://www.sallycrafts.etsy.com/ for the craft supplies that I can't resist buying and then can't get around to doing anything with. Too little time, too many addictions, and that dear friends is why I am destashing from 3 different stores.

Please go to etsy this weekend and click on Team ESST and choose your favorite thing to play with and the etsy stores that sell them.

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.

Team ESST Weekend Extravaganza

This weekend, Sept. 5 and 6, the Etsy Supply Street Team is sponsoring the Weekend Extravaganza for September, and all Etsians are invited to join in, not just supply sellers, but also handmade and vintage. My etsy store ThreadsintheBed will be adding new novelty yarns for the occasion, and I have just begun listing vintage buttons in my Buttonsbanglesandweeds
etsy store. Please check out Etsy and the TeamESST threads to add your comments. Sally

Rainy Day Fun

Whoppee, another rainy day in Connecticut. I am actually OK with it because I plan to add a few new destash items to my etsy stores, and line some handbags that I have been knitting lately. It is so easy to knit them, and such a pain to have to finish them. Sad huh? My new line of Allegria Bags are almost ready to list. Allegria means happy and cheerful in Italian, and since that is my heritage, my new line of handbags will be called Allegria. Fun and colorful, check them out in a few days on my threadsinthebed etsy site.

I have listed a few beads in my buttonsbanglesandbeads etsy store, but have only just finished getting the buttons ready so they will be added there this weekend (crossed fingers) as well. Thanks for checking me out.
