Hi all - welcome November not my favourite month but what can you do?

I've been sort of lurking last little bit. Hubby is doing great and my brokeback son is surviving, He's still in a lot of pain but is walking everyday. So that is a good sign to me. That stupid exo- skeleton brace he has to wear is really uncomfortable for him. I just wish this was over. His ribs are healing though so that is good. He feels he can breathe better now.

Amidst all this I also started working again at my old job cooking. Just 3 days a week Tues to Thurs. So it's not killer hours but the money will come in handy.

I came up with a new tag line for the shoes.
"Saving women's backs one shoe at a time"

what do you think?

I love the slogan Norma! :D

What a busy weekend - built the pallet photo backdrop I mentioned last week. It was... interesting. Pallets have a million nails in them and don't exactly fit easily into a hatchback car. But, after a few hours of ripping apart and rebuilding, the result was well worth it. I think my photos have improved 100% - especially since I could move the pallet right in front of the big window and get the good natural light. Spent almost all day Sunday ironing, taking photos, and building listings. Now comes the follow up part of posting everything on Pinterest and all that fun stuff.

I hope everyone has a productive week in store!

Thanks Kim! It's a huge relief to have the photo situation resolved! I'm thinking of probably retaking photos and updating my old listings as well - I just need to find the time! Haha :)

Looks really good Megan! Finding a way to take photos is really challenging. I think I've finally found the background that works for my items. A lot of trial and error. A lot of time to try to figure it out. Your listings look really good with the pallet background. It brings a continuity to your shop and it does make your aprons pop!

Also just a quick note that this discussion is set as public. Just saw that as I was looking over my post.

Norma... Like the slogan! It's cute!

Megan... Love the pallets too! That background works really well for your aprons!

Does anyone know if the local search (I've got the wrong name...having a foggy moment!) is live for Canada because in the last week I have gotten an unusually high number of sales from Canadians. It's awesome! Things have really started to pick up! I've never shipped so many packages in one day before! 8 packages from weekend orders and then 5 more orders came in today! Whoot woo!!! Having a little party over here!!!

Hi all. The corrected chat thread for the first week of November is here:

https://www.etsy.com/teams/5084/alberta-street-team/discuss/17015752/

Sorry for the confusion. Must be the affect of too much Halloween and the time change. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it! )
;-)
