Sheets in the Wind
Sep. 2nd, 2009 06:30 pmI feel like I have a new part-time job here, my Etsy shop has been doing surprisingly well and between that and garage-saleing for new stock and getting it cleaned up, researched, photographed, etc. it's just like work...except it's fun and totally at my own speed.
I put out a mishmash of things to see what sells and found to my surprise that my vintage sheet sets seem to do very well. My clothesline, as a result, is often full of sheets in many colors, all waving in the wind with me snapping pictures of them like some kind of linens paparazzi. I just sold more, so now I get to go sheet-hunting again. Old papers and books are pretty good too.
I'm just so happy that it isn't dead in the water - The only drawback so far is I keep wanting to hang onto the cool stuff instead of selling it, hah.
Just an update and encouraging note to the rest of you with Etsy shops to go ahead and put something out there, it's strangely entertaining.
