Sheets in the Wind

[primsong]

I 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.

Congratulations! That was really quick. I am so glad you're enjoying it. :)

Teehee! Love the Tribbles.

Thanks! My kids and I made those for a church bazaar a couple years ago and I just rediscovered them. I felt like I had to have *something* handmade, it IS Etsy, after all. ;-D

I'm not familiar with Etsy shops...how would I view your sheets? I need some king-size sheets with deep pockets....do you have any of those? I shelled out for some recently and was just appalled at the price.

Sadly, all I have right now are doubles and twins, the last of the Queens just went out to Pennsylvania and I haven't any Kings left at all... the ones waiting to be listed are all twin as well, that's just what I've been finding of late. Etsy is for handmade and vintage only, so they're all patterns from the 60s-80s. Someone else may have some though - try a search!
