Oh Etsy - How I love thee!!!!

Ok people, I'm shaking things up in my Etsy shop! Can you feel all the shaking (you may want to get in a doorway for safety)!? Ok, here's the backstory: Back in 2008 when I opened my Etsy shop, I mainly sold charm necklaces. I did a few custom orders for weddings, sold a bunch to friends for gifts, and had an every-now-and-again sale on Etsy. Without getting into all the details, for one reason or another it fizzled out, and I took my shop in a new direction. I was busy making flower hair clips for my baby girl and continued to have success making things for friends and family, but not so much on Etsy. Well Etsy, I'M BACK! 2011 is the year that you and I are going to be friends again, OK?!!!!?!!! Ha ha. I just "launched" with my new and improved charm necklace collection and I'm super excited about it. I think they came out really cute and I'm excited to see how they do out there in etsy-land. It's dog-eat-dog out there for sure though! After I listed my first one, I went right to the jewelry section to do a final spell check (I mean, it had not been more than 2 minutes since I hit "finish"), and my listing had already moved down to page 3. No joke. This is going to be interesting, but I'm definitely up for the challenge. So, if you're looking for a cute, inexpensive, meaningful gift for yourself or a loved one, stop by OohLalaCo :) & pardon my shameless plug.








Happy shopping people!!!!

  3. and can i just add that the random word i had to type was "menism". i think that could be a real word... like a a good menism is, "you look fine" or "i don't have an opinion on your hair" or "whatever you think".

  10. Hi Ali, I am visiting from Cassie's blog and I thought I'd take a look around. Your story sounds a lot like mine. Opened my shop, got disheartened and am now up and running again, hopefully with more success this time. I'm also advertising on Cassie's blog (Happy Baby Designs) so I'm definitely hoping this will bring some traffic my way. If you ever want to work together to promote each other's shops, just let me know! We can all help each other :) I'm also a new follower :)
