Other team members included are: Christy Dekoning, Brenda Braun, Shannon McDowell, Jess Wyma, Christina Seagrave, Laura Tetreault, Jenny Oriet and Steph Temesey.

Fall CLEARANCE Sale

Tonight I started arranging my pieces on a tablecloth that I intend to use for fall shows, only to find that everything clashes. Pink and rusty yellow just don't seem to work. Bright, summer colours - although very cheerful - aren't necessarily bringing about the cozy, warm feel of Autumn that I'm ready to embrace in my shop.

I decided to do an inventory of all the items I have in my Etsy shop and found many that have been sitting un-loved (and unhearted and unviewed) for some time. [side note - to see who loves you and your items, check out the Heartomatic, shared by Christy DeKoning.] In an attempt to clear out some older items, I have set up a Fall CLEARANCE Sale in my shop. I lowered the price of the items in this new Section (if you aren't using sections yet, you may want to try. It's a great way to organize your shop and be more user-friendly) and well, we will see how it goes!

I invite any of you on the team to join in - perhaps we can make it a team-wide Fall CLEARANCE Sale. If so, I can email Etsy and they may publicize it for us. If anything, it's a good way to clean out shop, maybe make a few extra sales, and participate in our first group activity!
