Re: AAA Cafe' Daily Chat 11/27/2013

i'm about ready to go to bed. i hope you feel better mary....

i can't believe the holidays are here already and before you know it, we will be in the new year.

i was running ahead of last year until i hit november. it was my best month last year but this november is looking like last year's october. i think it's because the warm weather lasted longer in most places and now that we've turned colder, folks are now looking for the winter wear items.

hopefully december will look like november last year and i'll recoup - it's still a good year and i have no complaints.

have a safe and happy holiday for those in the US and around the world who celebrate thanksgiving. even if it isn't a holiday, i am sure there is lots to be thankful for!

Re: AAA Cafe' Daily Chat 11/27/2013

Good morning all!

So sorry the nasty infection is back Mary, I hope you'll manage to get rid of it completely, I reckon is quite difficult sometimes during the Winter months though. I used to get tonsillitis when I was a toddler, had my tonsils removed when I was almost 6, that helped but I still got 3 or 4 bad colds, cough and throat infections a year. Since my late 20s that has luckily stopped, and I can now go for 2 or 3 years without even catching a cold, my last one was in April 2011. Here's hoping that I haven't written the last famous words now....!! Fingers crossed. To make up for it though, I wasn't born with strong, good teeth, so I've had too many toothaches and lots of work done in my life, but hey, I count myself lucky that so far this has been my only health problem. Again, touch wood and fingers crossed that it stays that way!

I've got to finish some leaf clocks today and then take photos and list them, together with a couple of watches, so I'd better get going, it starts getting dark at about 4pm here and I need natural light for those photos!

Have a great day everybody and, for the Americans, have a great Thanksgiving holiday!

Re: AAA Cafe' Daily Chat 11/27/2013

Good morning -

Mary: Hope you feel better soon. Terrific quote today!

Woke up to even more snow and a storm advisory and it is only supposed to get worse as the day goes on. Hopefully not though until after I return from my regular job.

I pretty much am almost done with my custom order so hopefully that one along with the other sale I got yesterday will be ready to be sent next week. Still hoping the sales pick up even more with black friday and cyber monday. Has anyone tagged for those two days? I was going to but not sure if it really was worth it.

I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!

Good morning everyone!

@Mary, I hope you feel better. Sinus infections are awful. Try some tea with honey & lemon (that was my grandmother's cure for almost everything ;o)

Soooo, I woke up this morning to a sale and hit my goal of 10 sales so YAYYYYY!! I have today off from my day job to get ready for Thanksgiving. So much to do ;o)

Have a wonderful day!

Mary, Do you have a Neti Pot? If you could keep your sinuses cleaned out it may help with the frequency of infection. I would stay in bed and get some rest.

Nuria, I hope things have settled down for you. Here is hoping your time at work goes by quickly today. Have a nice day!

Beverly, I hope your sales keep up and I believe they will, with the weather forecast being for a colder that usual winter. I do not care if it is cold, my issue is the snow.

Val, This past January I had the flu and it really took me down. So October 1st, I got a flu shot. Here is hoping you stay well this winter.

John, I tried tagging for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday and it did not see any difference. I do not have the time this year to make any changes to my listings anyway. I have 293 listings and that is way too many this time of the year. If you want, why not try a few to see if it brings more views. If not then you really did not waste your time. I figure once they click on one of your listings and liked what they see, they would probably look at your other listings.

Jeannie, Congratulations on your sale and here is to 100 more! I have to do some baking today and work on orders. Somewhere along the line, I want to take a shower. LOL!!! Enjoy your day off!

Like the rest of you in the USA, I will be preparing some deserts to take to a Thanksgiving dinner with my daughter in law's parents. My husband has to work tomorrow night at Amazon, so he is going to be dog tired. I hope everyone has a lovely day.....

Re: AAA Cafe' Daily Chat 11/27/2013

Mary, I'm sorry your sinuses are giving you grief. I swear by Bragg's apple cider vinegar and local honey.. and my neti pot. I have been able to avoid getting a sinus infection for the past year or so.. hoping the streak continues.:) Sinuses can be miserable.

Congrats to all who have hit goals, etc! I made 10 sales for November, so I'm pretty thrilled with that. Hoping December is even better for all of us!

Working on restocking a local shop with more placemats, and trying to get some more made for my shop! I had to deactivate because I sold out at my craft show last weekend.. It is so difficult for me to grow my inventory lately. Have a few custom orders I need to be working on tonight too.. so I will be making a pumpkin pie and sewing tonight :)

Have a fantastic day everyone.

Hope everyone has a good day and a nice thanksgiving!

I just wrote a long post and for some reason Etsy lost it. *sigh*

My best month on Etsy this year was August. Very strange for my shop.

Sorry to hear about your sinuses again, Mary. Whilst keeping them clear is definitely worth following Dona's idea with, I am a great believer in Vitamin C.
When we lived in Alberta, we learned about it and I have taken a 1,000 mg pill every day since. I rarely, if ever, get a cold - although sometimes I can get post-nasal drip of a night time. The quack gives me an inhaler for that - and Bob's your uncle. On the rare occasion I feel a cold arriving, I up the Vit C to twice a day (it can have an effect on one's tummy if one takes more for too long). But, believe me, a couple of days at two a day, and no cold worth it's name stands a chance! Try it sometime - I'd really recommend it.

Found I'd been treasured by Beverly this morning: thanks very much for that support. Duly responded as one should!

Have drafted my Christmas letter to friends and family: now have to choose the cards and address envelopes. With luck, they should be off by the week-end, only a couple of days later than last year. Amazing!

Re: AAA Cafe' Daily Chat 11/27/2013

Hi everyone,
Arrived back from Vegas late last night to a winter wonderland here in Western New York. Was worried about making it back due to the storms and flight cancellations all over the US. Went to work today and feel exhausted now but no rest for the wicket. Have to get ready for hosting Thanksgiving. Luckily, we do this on Saturday. My in-laws are Canadian and aren't available tomorrow. So I have a few days to recover from my trip, clean the house and get the groceries for the feast.
Mary - hope you feel better soon and aren't plaqued by your sinus infection ongoing.
Jeannie, congrats on meeting your sale goal. I'm still thrilled about my first and only sale. My customer e-mailed me right after she received the painting and was thrilled. That made me really happy.

Wishing everyone a great week and to my fellow Americans Happy Thanksgiving.

Evening all.

Mary I hope you feel better soon - sinuses can be an awful pain (literally).

Just dropping in to say hi. I've got one more craft show for the season and then I can get back to working on my shops. After the show on Sunday, I'm going to start listing some the remaining craft show inventory in my two shops - hopefully that will get me some sales.

Got to go - have to go to the day job in the morning.

Have a great night.

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who celebrate it!

I saw some wonderful threads on previous days and had not time to answer. I am a highschool science teacher and highschool year is almost gone around here, so I am full of papers and exams to grade!!!

Mary, I hope you are feeling better.

Well, back to my student's papers then. I just wanted to send you good wishes. :)
