Setting up an Etsy shop

Wow, lots of steps to set up the shop... taking pictures is the most challenging. Pictures that look good enlarged and up close. I have a lot to learn!

Halloween

Got special plans for Halloween? Olive Branch Old Towne is having an afternoon celebration with merchants handing out treats - nice safe way to take little ones Trick or Treating.

Girl's Night Out

Friday night is our first girl's night out party at the new shop.

New Classes

I think the most difficult thing this week is trying to come up with new classes. It is difficult to arrange multi session classes. Hard to get customers to commit to that. Everyone is so busy and understandably wants some instant gratification.

Sale

The whole Old Towne area is having a sidewalk sale this Friday and Saturday. I am trying to decide what is on sale and for how much.

Since events like this bring more general shoppers rather than beaders I usually put jewelry on sale.

So many beads, so little time

We have added so much new stock lately and new classes that it is hard to keep up!

Old buildings

It is nice to have a location on a historic walking tour but one drawback of a place built in 1915 is it is certainly a challenge to keep cool in hot weather!
