The more the merrier

it was 46 degrees here this morning. Lots of shop items This will be a quick post. Due to circumstances, just being pretty busy, I have not been been renwing or listing new items much over the last week. But I have been watching my views with Heart o tron. Strangly, with no new listings, no active forum threads, and no listings in treasuries, my view count has been rising of late. Now there could be other factors causing this rise, the recent changes in how searches are handled on Etsy comes… Continue

Cold Calling

today it was 47 degrees out this morning when i went and looked. This means a full day in the shop, and probably an evening! Woot! Todays posting will be the quick version so I can take advantage. So I have a new experiment My take is,things though bad, will get better for the country. It is hard to call a bottom to any recession, but we are defiantly at a local bottom now. But I think this economic down turn woke up some folks, there also is something else in the air namely some sort o… Continue
