Hohoho Happy Thanksgiving! Broken China Jewelry For Dark Friday

Wow, it's Thanksgiving week! I promise yous all get got a slap-up vacation no affair how yous pass it. :)

Years together with years agone earlier Etsy was created together with earlier I had my ain website, I started off selling my jewelry on Ebay. I scream upward gearing upward for the busy vacation weekend together with Black Fri together with creating tons of jewelry for my Ebay shop.

Back therefore it was auction-style selling, which was fun together with exciting, together with it actually was a slap-up agency to larn what items were the near pop out of everything I sold. I met therefore many wonderful customers, many of whom nevertheless are customers! I think I sold over 3,000 pieces of jewelry on Ebay - wow!

Then only about 2009 Etsy came along, together with since it touted itself equally a "handmade marketplace" I knew that it would survive a adept venue for my work.

In betwixt the 2 I too listed my jewelry on my ain website, www.dishfunctionaldesigns.com, but that got to survive real fourth dimension consuming together with difficult to perish along upward with, therefore I decided to focus my efforts on Etsy.

At the same fourth dimension Ebay's fees were mounting, together with 1 time they decided to accept a cutting of the seller's transportation costs - pregnant the seller had to pay a pct of transportation costs to Ebay - I was out of there. I gauge they did that to cook upward for the tons of sellers who would accept payoff of buyers for listing an detail on Ebay for $10 but therefore charging $20 for shipping.

I miss selling on Ebay together with on my ain website together with get got been toying amongst the persuasion of trying 1 or both out again, perhaps 1 time things settle downwards after the holidays.

One of my best Thanksgiving weekend memories was the twelvemonth my immature adult woman Rachel was born (who only straight off turned xiii on Sunday!). Born the calendar week earlier Thanksgiving, together with in that location I sat at my desk on Black Friday, at my figurer amongst a tiny piffling newborn babe inwards 1 arm, writing upward sale after sale amongst the other arm, till 5am. I think I got an entire 2 hours of slumber that black until I had to acquire upward inwards the morn for my 2 & 1/2 twelvemonth old! :)

Here I am, nevertheless keeping on, real much jewelry later! I am therefore thankful for all of my wonderful customers that I've had over the years, together with for the might to construct a career only about what I dearest that gave me to might to piece of occupation for myself, at home.
