Super Sunday arvo............

Oh the joy I have the next couple of hours kid free. They have been taken off to the movies by a friend. No point me going with them my French is still lacking when it comes to watching a movie even a kids one but I'm not upset I am going to use this time to finish my craft hope boy doll so I can send him off this week( I want to make sure it gets there in time and post out of here can be slightly slow). I am also going to continue my research into if & where I should set up my shop to sell my wares. I have been checking in on two. Etsy & Big cartel. Ms badskirts has given me a whole lot of info on big cartel and I see many others doing the Etsy thing. I am going to ask any of you girls with stores, of any kind, if you can offer any other info or tips to me that might help me make my decision. I would be most appreciative of your thoughts and time taken to write them.

OK no more time wasting here I have things to do. Happy Sunday everybody.

I have no advice since I STILL haven't opened my Etsy, but thought I would send some internet encouragement for your future shop!

I use etsy because I like that if people are browsing on there they may stumble upon my shop.

Having said that I have seriously thought about using Big Cartel when I get some more stock made just to have the option of aussie dollars. I use madeit for AUD at the moment but it doesn't seem to be as good as etsy.

i think you also need to think of other opportunities thru markets etc and getting in front of yr customer. i dont think online is the only way forward for us home crafters.
