500 Sales on Etsy

I am so excited, my 500th sale from my 3 Etsy stores happened

today. It was actually a rubber stamp from my Sallycrafts store

called Woman in Repose. But most of my sales are from my Etsy

store ThreadsintheBed, my yarn destash. My novelty yarns, effect

yarns, carry along yarns, etc. See the 6 original tubs to the right,

they include regular yarns, ribbon yarns, novelty yarns, ladder style yarns, and soft and squishy yarns. I have recently added 2 new bins, one for little flag and nub yarns, and the 8th for boucle yarns.

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.

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.

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.

EtsyFAST Team September Challenge

I just entered my first woven shawl in the September Challenge - Songs - for the EtsyFAST team (Fiber Arts Street Team). I wove it on my Knitters Loom that I bought myself for Christmas last year and it took a while but I am so pleased with how it came out. Measuring 14" wide by 68" long, 88" with the 2 10" fringes, it is lightweight and colorful. So what else could the song be but Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors. Now, I need to see if I can insert a photo or two here. If not click on my etsy store threads in the bed.

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

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.

Virgin Blogger's First Post

Well, I started this last Saturday, and many problems with google and blogger caused my first blog, ButtonsandThreads to disappear, so my mama didn't raise no dummies, it only took me a week to realize that I could start a new blog and name it ThreadsandButtons, and have the same things as the other one, but actually have a blog someone could find (I hope). So wish me luck and I will be entering my blog on the EtsyFAST team blogroll and hopefully adding you all as my followers.
