I am finally running out of room for my stationery and supplies.
I have to cut down. Argh!
I get a lot of things in eBay auctions that come together with other things I really don't want, or know I'll never use. Or I bought some stationery that I find isn't fountain-pen friendly. Or whatever.
It's a tiny little shop, and right now (grand opening: today!) I only have three items listed, and I didn't make any of them myself. (I have fantasies of making and selling some hand-made envelopes and the like, but... we'll see.)
I doubt it will see much action until the summertime, when I have a lot more time, but this was something of a lark and I really had to share it.
Comments? Suggestions? (Do the banner graphics suck?) Berate me for shameless self-promotion? (I really have been thinking about this for months, and it's pretty much a break-even, niggling-profit, I-need-to-make-room-on-my-shelves / why-the-heck-did-I-buy-this? sort of thing.) I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Here's the link:

Congrats! This is awesome. I fully support you. I have hearted your shop on Etsy and signed up for email notifications when you reopen! Woo!
ReplyDeleteI recently just went through my closets and did a lot of de-cluttering, and instead of trying to sell what I had (I'm talking about stationery, pens, stickers, envelopes, etc.), I decided to donate it.
ReplyDeleteOh no...1 sale down and on vacation after just six hours! ;)
ReplyDeleteBack up - sorry for the delay!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! One request/suggestion: could you indicate whether the items are FP-friendly? Oh and put an easy-to-find permanent link to your etsy store on your blog? Love all your kitty stuff, your cats are so photogenic!!
ReplyDeleteStoneZebra, thanks so much for the suggestions. I will update all my listings with FP info. (Some of the papers are untested.)
ReplyDeleteThere IS a link to my etsy store, but it's pretty far down on the left-hand column, below the rainbow fountain pen icon. I guess I was feeling shy about it, but maybe I should move it up higher/more prominently.
