I started to remove some items from the online market places in which were for Christmas and are basically nothing but Christmas. I deactivated them on Etsy and will put them back on next year in September or October. I did have a great deal of sales. Between Etsy and eBay I sold 65 items from October 1st to today. This is more than I ever sold in that time frame. I gave each customer an extra gift with their packages, whether it would be a Christmas Pencil, gift tags, stickers, etc.. They all got to have something. So this was a lot of work but it had paid off in the long run. 
Now onto other matters of the heart, I am going to removing many items from both avenues of selling, eBay and Etsy in the next month. I have already started. Some of it will be going to Goodwill, some of it will be deactivated until a later day. 
Well this is all for now,.

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...
