Do you sell anything else in your store besides dolls?

So I like to poke around in other dolls stores, because there are some gorgeous dolls here. And I've noticed that several people sell other things. I'm guessing its to supplement income, since dolls don't exactly fly off the shelves. Or some people obviously have multiple talents to share. I've seen patterns, wool, stuffed animals, jewelry, all kinds of things. I'm thinking of trying that. I am thinking of fairy related products (not sure what yet) or dollhouse miniatures (handmade). Do you sell anything besides dolls in the same shop? How is that working for you? What did you start selling first, the dolls or the other stuff?

When I opened my shop, I had a few dolls and a random embroidered baby Onesie. That baby outfit was my first sale ! :) but since them I've added a few very random things, but have had no luck on sales on anything other than dolls. I've been considering doll house items myself though! I think that fits is well for a doll maker.

I added some geeky themed Christmas ornaments this year. That worked out well. :)

I started listing baby shoes first then quickly (within the month) added some dolls and a smattering of other things. Whatever I could think to make (as long as I enjoyed making it) I just wanted to fill the virtual shelves, but I'm not sure that is the way to go sometimes I thing my shop looks too random. I've been thinking about making 18" doll clothes since they would fit my dolls.

I've had that same thought about my shop Santresa. Having lots of different items does seem to make a shop look more random, but I enjoy making different things. I actually think your shop looks very nice. I think your different items go together nicely.

Thank you. Its random but there is a theme. The theme is "things that I like" lol
