Etsy shop

I have been debating over whether or not to give Etsy a try. 

There are so many cute and desirable things on Etsy. What would the harm be in posting a few things and see if anyone wants them?  So I put together a few items and posted them in my typewriterorange shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/typewriterorange?ref=pr_shop

I was able to spend some time at work on Friday fine tuning all the descriptions and photos and finally opened the doors so to speak.  Then I lay awake in my bed and stared at my familiar ceiling…waiting…..

Even though I haven’t done a whole lot of work, I have been working hard getting these things ready to be posted. 

Then the doubt came. 

Who would possible want to PAY for something I made?  Was I asking too much for something I used my own two hands to make?  Was it ridiculous for me to think that anyone would like something enough to click that “Add to Cart” button?

So, I bit my nails and watched my shop sit….and sit….and sit…

The weekend came and went.  I went back to work Monday and didn’t think twice about the shop.

Then, came then.    A magical thing happened.    I had my FIRST sale!

Someone hit that lovely green button!  Someone bought a Totoro onesie I made. 

My first sale, hopefully one of many!  Woohoo!
