Thanksgiving

As I sit here and want to complain about the weather, my age, my hurts and pains, depression, and so on. I also have to try to realize that God is in control of everything and no matter how hard life is, I have to allow God to take control and depend and trust in his guidance, mercy, and love. 

 As I watch Isis and Russia playing their dreadful war games, we have to realize that only God can fix what is wrong with the world. I am thankful to be living in a quiet house, town, street, and basically life. I could not imagine what the people who lost everything is feeling like. The ones who had a home one day, but war took it away the next. Little children walking the streets, hungry, sore, dirty, and alone. As I go about my daily business with Etsy, eBay, and Bonanza. I ask why God am I not selling anything? When actually,  I should be thankful for the home, health, food, clothing, money, and life that I now have that at one time I didn't. I am thankful I am not homeless, living in a motel or sleeping on floors at strangers houses or friends. This I did do, in boot was my son who now is grown. So I am thankful for all I have.

 So thank You Jesus for it all.

Not happy with Etsy

I have been contemplating leaving Etsy even though I have been selling there for over 4 years. This year they have made huge changes and made it much more impersonal. They changed the whole look of Etsy, they took away the Treasuries, and other things that used to make it special. I used to get frustrated with the amount of emails for treasuries. Then I realized I had a whole lot more people following and favoring my items. I have used the teams to some extent, but do not find them as productive to help with the selling. I think before long they will take away the teams as well. If they do that, I am sure thousands will leave Etsy. If you are going to want impersonal, then use eBay or worse Amazon.  I noticed too that some of the trusted and loving shops that used to sell and sold a long while has quit selling. They are still on Etsy, but not selling items anymore. Here I reopened a Vintage store a few months back, and changed my name on the design with jewelry shop and frame...
