Wow - front page-tastic!

I'm not sure what I've done to deserve this, but I have been on the Etsy front page 3 times (!!!) in 2 days. I must have been very good lately!

I am really trying to take my Etsy shop to the next stage. A more professional looking shop, better photos, more items available for sale, etc. I think I've been a little lax in the presentation so far. I find it hard to put as much effort into the shop - photos, descriptions etc, as I do into creating. I've been regarding the time taken to maintain my shop as time away from my workbench, rather than an important part of my business. I think it's time to set aside some time and give the shop a bit of an overhaul. (Eek!).

Well, I guess time will tell whether my good intentions come to anything! Here are the lovely front page treasuries:

Woo-Hoo! I was on the Etsy Front Page!

I've been on cloud nine all day. Yesterday my bracelet made it to the front page of Etsy! This is the first time I have ever been selected, and it really is a big deal for me. I've been an Etsy seller for over a year now and have dreamt wistfully of being on the front page for all that time. Maybe my photos are finally (at long last) becoming front page-worthy.
I have to admit that I'm not a naturally gifted photographer (actually I'm not sure I'm naturally gifted at anything). My photos take ages. This is partly because I would rather do almost anything else than take photgraphs, so they tend to get put off, and partly because I need to take about 100 pictures to get a couple of useable ones. (An image of monkeys and typewriters springs to mind).
But anyway, here is the lovely front page (My bracelet is top middle) courtesy of thebrickkiln.etsy.com
