Our First Day .......
Well, today was the day that Tam and I launched our 'Private Showings" - I am not really sure what to call it, just NOT 'party plan'.
We had a lovely group of ladies who were all very friendly and very chatty. Just wished they had maybe bought a bit more.
Anyway, it is definitely not TUPPERWARE, not that there is anything wrong with Tupperware but we are just not selling like that.
It was a bit of a learning curve - I sold some things - it would have been better if I had sold more. So much preparation goes into a day like today - maybe it will get easier as we get better at it.
Maybe there is another way of selling my stuff. I thought of an Etsy Shop or a Shop at my website. Anyway, my thinking cap is on. Does anyone have any better ideas or suggestions. I would love to hear from you if you do.
I have also uploaded a heap of photos onto Flickr of some more recent things that I have made.

Your drawstring pouch with balloon fabric is gorgeous. Have you tried getting a stall at your local markets?
What a shame you didn't sell more - your work is beautiful. Etsy seems to work well for many crafters.
Etsy is definitely worth a try - I have had a store since I opened the one linked to my blog. I don't have a link to it on my site as I was trying to work out which was the best option. Even without any link ,it has done quite well. I am just considering whether to move everything across to Etsy or keep both stores...
I think it makes the whole payment system easier as the site does most of the work for you.
Cathy, all your wares are SO beautiful. They say the imitaion is the highest form of flattery, so take this compliment from me. You inspire me!! only problem is, mine is not nearly so perfect as yours!!
