Oh wow, I haven’t posted in so long. I promise I’m going to start updating this more often! I’ve just been so busy with work and Etsy and my boyfriend.

Anywho, I have a new Etsy Shop!! Ebay was just too dang expensive with the fees and all. Ebay buyers seem to always bargain your prices down too, they don’t realize how much effort, creativity, time, and money goes into handmade crafts. I was selling my art for super cheap and wasn’t making a profit at all. So I have found my home at Etsy and that’s where I will be staying. I love it!!!

This is the shop it’s self : http://www.jenniferbirge.etsy.com

Here are some things from the Shop:

Cleoparta Earrings $40

FunKy Pendant $20

Swirly Ring $10

Classic Beauty Wire Ring $10

Blue Bird Fever Painting $85

I have over 50 items on Etsy so far. But I’ve just begun. It’s so frickin cheap and I’m addicted already!! I have alot more to add still.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to boost sales on Etsy?
