SALE

Hi everyone. Shameless plug but I wanted to let you all know that ALL my vintage dressmaking patterns have been reduced to just $2 in my little Etsy shop

Plus if you use MISH73 at checkout you will receive 15% off your order (before p&p). That is off any order, including the already reduced patterns!!!!!

So get yourself on over to my shop and have a peek, lol, its a must.

Bye for now. Shameless plugging over ;)

Last day of Blogtoberfest and other challenges

Well I did it, yay!!!
Blogged everyday throughout October for the Blogtoberfest challenge.
Listed an item a day in my Etsy shop for the Crafty Folk daily listing challenge.
Sold 10 items (target was 5) in my Etsy shop for Apron Thrift Girl Resellers challenge.

Really pleased with myself, all the team members of Crafty Folk and other bloggers who have helped me along the way.

Well normal blogging will now resume, but I am joining the Crafty Folk daily listing team for November as it has proved to be very successful.

Hope all are well.

Facebook

Hi everyone, well I've finally got around to setting up a Facebook page for my Etsy shop mish73. Yay for me lol. Would love it if you could increase my fans (at the moment its just little old me as the one and only fan). Think my blog updates are getting shorter and shorter as the month of October goes on!!

Mmmm wonder what I can rabble on about tomorrow!!

Thanks for your help

ATG's Resellers Listing Challenge - Week 3

Well I am one happy bunny. Still on target with listing every day of October, yay. But, the best bit is that I have exceeded my sales target of 5 for the whole of October. My sales so far this month are 8. I am so pleased :).

I think a number of factors are involved in my selling success. The main one being part of the Crafty Folk team on Etsy. As part of the daily listing challenge we promote each other daily(in which ever way suits us best), hence more exposure for my little shop resulting in the increase in sales!! So a big big thank you to my team mates for all their hard work.

Friday and still going just

Just when I was feeling all bleurgh this week (can't pinpoint why) a lovely lady made 3 purchases in my little Etsy shop yesterday. Which perked me up no end. So a big thank you to Dawn :). Plus another sale came in from Denmark!

Perhaps its the weather, the constant drizzle and lack of proper daylight! Don't know really. But the sales have given me the smile I needed. To keep hold of this I thought I would sign up for the School Christmas Fair and make some handmade goodies. Need some pennies for the Santa Fund. This will hopefully give me the kick up the backside I need to get my mojo going. I know some will think this is pressure I perhaps don't need, but for me I believe it will help.

What do you find helps you when feeling BLEURGH?

Day 2 and what to say!!!

Hi everyone. Well this is what happens with me, have loads going on and still struggle to find something to type. I'm just blooming rubbish lol!

Had a fab day yesterday with the kiddiwinks in the park although I do find this weather a little weird for this time of year. Fish and chips for tea so I didn't have to cook. Oh did I mention I was lazy too ha ha.

Finally starting to feel like the new house is home and everything seems to have found a place despite me having no bedroom furniture! Although that is way down the list on things to buy with the dreaded C around the corner.

Listed for the 2nd day in a row in the Crafty Folk team (woohoo get me). Come take a look as there may be something that takes your fancy or why don't you join in and try the challenge yourself. We are a friendly lot!

Blagged my way through today, phew. must try harder. Would be much easier if you all popped round for a cuppa and then you wouldn't be able to shut me up :).

See you all tomorrow.

Crafty Folk on Etsy

As you could see I set myself a challenge for October to blog everyday for Blogtoberfest. Well I am also going to take part in the listing club on Etsy. Team members of Crafty Folk are going to try and list an new item every day throughout October. Then in turn we will promote each other by any means possible. Such a good idea!! So Blogtoberfest challenge will fit in nicely with this (ha ha not daft me). Should have plenty to blog about, which is the part where I struggle! May even have chance to include a small giveaway and little bits about the change my life has taken :). Well hope all my readers are well and enjoy my future ramblings.

My new listing on Etsy today as part of the daily listing challenge is a little Beatrix Potter book

Phew made day 1!!

Breaking News!!!!

Woohoo I've opened an Etsy shop selling some of my vintage finds. More goodies will be added over the week. Would love it if you would check it out. Thank you

Part 4 giveaway - funky diva designs

Wow I've managed to blog everyday in October so far. I'm so very proud of myself and I've even managed to change the look of my blog, just a little. The changes are very pleasing to me if no one else. I've also managed to learn a few technical things, some courtesy of fellow bloggers, that make this blogging malarky a little easier. Anyhow, this is not why I am blogging today its to give you the final instalment of my giveaway wins to date.

So thanks to Anna Ryan at funky diva designs on Etsy I won a fantabulous make-up brush wrap in the most delicious fabric, which I receieved yesterday. Again I've used Anna's pics as you can all do it so much better than me. I'm just one lucky lucky girl. Please take a browse round Anna's beautiful shop by clicking my link (there are some fab goodies using beautiful fabric).

So a big big thank you to Anna xx

I would like to say although I have included 4 giveaway wins I have also been lucky enough to have contact with some fantastic sellers mainly through Folksy who have been so so generous when I have made purchases from them. There are too many to list here but why not click on the link and buy handmade :)
