Doing the Etsy thing

I joined Etsy!  I did!  As a seller, I mean—I've bought several things over the years.

I put the Pudding items up a couple of weeks ago, and there were a few views and a few hearts here and there.  The hearts were nice to see, but all in all it was pretty quiet.  When I logged in, there would be one or two updates in my activity feed.

Then, yesterday, things picked up: I logged in mid-afternoon and there were twenty-seven updates waiting for me.  Hooray!  By the end of the evening, one of my necklaces had been viewed over 1,300 times (how did that happen?!), 34 people had favorited my shop, I was in several circles and treasuries, and two pieces had sold.*  Drumroll, please—this is my first sale to someone who is not a friend or a friend-of-a-friend or indeed known to me in any way.  Momentous!  Not bad for week #2.

To celebrate, I made a treasury myself, using one of my favorite color combinations (pale grey and yellow) as inspiration.  It ties in nicely to the recent weather, which has alternated between rain and shine.  Love the terrarium and the rug.

 

*Update: I was in the Etsy Finds email.  Mystery solved!
