Things I found out were selling on Etsy

Here is something that I started working on this past year.
Throughout the time after Etsy stopped having Treasuries. I started to create lists on my Etsy shops pages. I have about 20 different lists for items of different colors, Retro, 1980's, vintage, handmade, etc.. Well, today, I wanted to go through them and see if I could pick up on some or any trends on the selling. I found out that 'Retro 1970's' is selling a large amount in that era and time frame. The Funky/weird items, blue items, green, and purple are selling some things at this time as well. Blue items are selling the most of the colors. I imagine white will pick up due to wedding season coming up.
As far as the Vintage items, just random vintage, this has picked up a great deal as well. I checked Yellow and Red item lists, nothing had been sold from them. I did try to create lists of many beautiful and unique items for sale, and I did find the Retro trend very interesting. So I am going to gear toward finding Retro items more than anything at this time when out looking.

 I have been on vacation a good amount this year. We lost my husband's mom, so there has been a great deal going on before her passing and after. This past week we finally took a long needed 9 day vacation to Hot Springs, Arkansas. If anyone is wondering where to take a vacation for all families, this is the place. It is good for everyone. The food is good, Stubby's barbeque and Grandmas kitchen is good. I hope that I can again go there or even move there, but right now things don't look to be heading that way. Well, this is all for the new post. 
I will be loading pictures on here again in the next post. Just not today. Tata till later.

Etsy Holiday Selling

We are well into the Holiday selling season. This year Etsy changed a great deal of things and I feel the changes improved our sales. They added go on sales, percents off and so on. They also did a social media sharing change for both the phones and online. The sales reflects next to our items when we have them on sale now. I have seen a pretty big difference in the amount of sales I have had compared to last year. I am glad I stuck it out with Etsy and have decided to add clothing and scarves and purses to the shops. It has been a success on the selling of these items. Will I continue to sell them in the future, maybe. I do think the clothing is a good thing to sell.  So some items I have listed that are new can be found in my 2 Etsy shops. Have a look StreetCrossingDesign.etsy.com Vic kiesVintageroom.etsy.com

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...
