Julia, Best of luck with shipments to Japan. I have never shipped there but have you thought of checking out the USPS website or calling a UPS Store or Postnet location for more information? I've had to do that when I shipped an item to England 2 yrs ago. Corky
YOU all must think I am DUMB! Just realized when I set the team up in hurry I wrote share are love of holidays instead of OUR but I just noticed and fixed. I try to keep up with all the threads but never thought to proof read! DAH to me!
WELL I got two orders in ghostgap this month after 0 in september. I know everyone was buying Halloween like crazy in all the stores so it was a real let down. But hoping for a GOOD October in both my shops. Well I got a third but that one is just an experiment. Just trying to hit a new market.
You bet! Well after Halloween I am changing our team avi! I was going to do a Thanksgiving one but thinking of going straight to the Christmas one since really Thanksgiving is a SMALL market on etsy and the stores. It seems I am a rare one in decorating for Thanksgiving. Poor Thanksgiving gets overlooked and after Halloween it is not long before everyone puts up Christmas decorations. We as crafters have to rush from making Halloween, thanksgiving, and Christmass. It would have been so great if Christmas was in January. Besides in the part of Pa I lived I never had a white Chirstmas as a child and it would snow some time in Deccember but never for Santa and January was much more chances of snow..Plus here in Florida December is still warm but if we get a cold snap it is in January and I need cold to feel like it is Christmas. Everyone is wearing gloves and hats and complaining when it is a beautiful 60 degrees.I am like I LOVE IT!
We can still do Thanksgiving treasuries but it is best we don't waiste too much time on that and really push our Christmas wares. I know I start holiday shopping starting after Halloween.
Janis I found a perfect Nightmare before Chirstmas pic for the spooky cute team!
Thanksgiving is greatly overlooked, but have to say, I am not a big fan of it regarless, get together with family and friends, I do that anyway, Eat turkey, not me I am a vegetarian, and be thankful for what you have, I do that all the time and am grateful daily.....But I would love a Christmas game/treasury/something....
OKAY I STARTED A NEW TEAM AND IT IS FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO SHOP ON ETSY, THE idea of creating this team is in hopes buyers will join too! It won't have activities like my other teams but be a source for those hunting around for bargains. pleas join if you think it sounds like a team you would like!
I hope you al like the new team aie! I skipped Thanksgiving since Christmas is a bigger market I feel we can still promote Thanksgiving but I am going to concentrate on CHirstmas now.
Well I started supplies now sarah and even though it is less thn a dollar profit it ads up and make me feel good to get something. I have not got a suppy order in angels but my other and I did get a feather cllip order in ghostgap so few but any little order is nice. Nice to here from you and I hope all is well.
Julia I have been too..creating tags for knitting and things like that..they are selling which is nice..but $ wise I am way down from previous years..I feel like I am getting lost here again..sigh! Doing well..trying to get through school LOL..one .......more......semester....pant pant LOL. Hugs hon!
I hope school goes smoothly for you Julia, I have purchased 95% of my Holiday gifts so far from Etsy ONLY, I completely support the craft, and the wonderful craftsman on Etsy, I am partial to the darker side, but I love and wish all shops the best in the upcoming Holiday season
IT has been a hot winter in the 80's in Florida and I am so Happy it is it in the 40's this night and going up to the 70's. I am going out early today so I can enjoy that cold air.
I know you are thinking I am crazy but I love it cold.I get so tired and can hardly move in the heat and I just love the clean smell and energy cold air brings. Now I would not want it 10 below 0 either but while everyone else will be complaining today I will be enjoying my cold day and it won't last long and soon 7 months of 90's and humid hot summer.
join in the chat members. In some teams this is a fun thread .
