Thanks guys :-)
I have been featured on several small blogs aswell, it's jslust never done much for me really. Handmadeology was the best by a long way with good views for a few days from there.
I'm sort of thinking more of a way to advertise, and yes I guess I would perhaps have to pay. I want to find a way to get my shop properly 'out there'. I use twitter, Facebook, pinterest and Wanelo, (Wanelo thebest by a loooong way, although I do enjoy twitter!)
Can't really think of many other ways to really advertise?! That's why I got thinking about blogs. If I was a better (more imaginative) writer, and had more time, maybe I could have my own successful blog lol, now that would be good!
