Etsy works!!!! I nearly dropped my coffee cup yesterday morning when I received an email notification from PayPal that went something like "Notification of payment received" and listed an email address for someone I didn't recognize. I couldn't get the computer booted up fast enough to see what was going on.
Someone likes my hatstands!!!!! Not just "like" but loves them enough that they ordered TWO! of them at once. I realize that this may just be someone who wants to tear one apart so they can copy the idea but I'd like to think they are purchasing so they can own them or give them as gifts.
Anyway, I feel vindicated that finally someone has recognized how beautiful these stands are and wants that beauty for their home. Also, I now have a little motivation for getting back to crafting. Now if I could only find a new show to enter that won't cost an arm and a leg. Because of the high costs all over, I think I'm actually going to rent a booth at a "Trade Days" which is actually Texas-speak for a flea market.
Here in Texas they have them all over the place and lots of retailers only sell at "Trade Days" sales then travel to a new city each weekend. They are conglomerations of antiques, new retail, your next door neighbor's garage sale and craft shows. Canton, TX has been having "First Monday" just about forever and I think the rental spaces cover over 50 acres with permanent buildings and restrooms. http://www.firstmondaycanton.com/ (You'll have to copy and paste this address in your search engine window because I can't get this link to work properly with this dark background, sorry!)
It can be pretty overwhelming to someone who has never seen one of these. So prepare yourself to be amazed!
Gotta get busy!!! Happy Crafting!
