My Etsy Shop is Turning 1!

Coming up on April 20th, my etsy shop will be 1 year old! I can hardly believe it. Here's a little back story...

I first started out my etsy shop by selling jewelry. Then I switched to selling jewelry and accessories. I focused on bracelets and keyrings for a while but wasn't having as much luck as I wished, so I finally decided to test the waters of graphic design.

I had always worked with layouts and graphics in the past but had never tried selling before. I researched and saw what others were doing and finally made a few banners and listed them. After about a week or so, I got a couple of sales and it boosted my confidence so I worked hard and started stocking more.

A few months of having a shop with a combination of jewelry, accessories, and banners...I finally transitioned over to a graphics only shop. My sales have pretty much doubled since I started selling digital graphics and I could not be more pleased. I had always enjoyed making things like that, but never figured I could earn a little bit by doing so. Nowadays, my shop is full of banner and avatar sets at affordable prices - most are $3.50 - $4, and I try to charge the same amount for any add ons.

Now that you know all about the now and then of my etsy shop, here comes the part where I need your help. I have set a goal to reach 100 sales by April 20th, to make my 1 yr anniversary complete! Right now I'm sitting at 94 sales and only need 6 more to reach said goal. I have decided that the 100th person to buy a banner and avatar set from me will receive free sale banner, sale avatar, vacation banner, vacation avatar, and customer appreciation graphics! So go ahead, take a look around my shop and try to be the 100th customer!

Books of January

One of my new year's resolutions was to start reading more, so I've decided to share some thoughts on the books I've read and am going to be reading (hopefully ;)) throughout the year.

The first book I picked up and read this month was titled Shopgirl by Steve Martin. I mostly decided to read this book because I loved the movie and thought that if the movie was good, the book should be half way decent. Well I was wrong....the book was way better than just half way decent, it was great!

I'm the type of girl that likes simple books that are easy to read and follow, so this was right up my alley. It was also really amazing how well I could relate to the main character, Mirabelle - a lonely girl working at a glove counter who is a vulnerable artistic young lady. She happens to meet an older man named Ray Porter and the rest of the story is based on their relationship and how their lives unfold with and without each other.

I think I can relate to this story the most because I work in retail, am artistic, have a lot of the same character flaws as Mirabelle, and feel that I deal with life much the same way she does from time to time, just not as drastic. Anyway, even though this book is a light read, it is very enjoyable and I'd recommend it to anyone that likes a bit of dark/realistic comedy.

The next book on my list is another Steve Martin novel - The Pleasure of My Company. I've just started reading it, so hopefully I'll have thoughts on it later this month or toward the beginning of February.
