Sweet shop! My mom used to make yarn eggs for Easter when I was little.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I'm stopping by from the Etsy Blog Team.
That yarn basket is so cute! I've heard that about the 100 listings, but it's sure hard to be able to list that much! Thanks for the confirmation that it helps. I'll keep trying! I hope you're able to have your own shop one day! I would love to be able to do that too.
ReplyDeleteit's true, 100+ listings will do that but i've seen shops with 17 that gets sales too! in onne websitei've seen, most etsy shops with consistent and regular sales have 500+ listings, yikes!
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know that shops with even 17 items get sales. I have 40 something, and I'm trying to add more. Wow, 500+ listings! I would love to have consistent and regular sales, so it looks like I have lots of work to try and do!
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't already you should try Playfulwears' hot fudge sauce! It's the best I've ever had! Sure to be a hot seller whether on Etsy or in a physical store!
