Too Early For Halloween?

I know technically it isn't even summer yet and we still have tons of time before fall. I also know that I usually run out of time before the holidays and have tons of ideas with no time to complete them in.

So, I have already started listing Halloween items in my etsy shop. So far, they are just a few items leftover from last year, but by next month maybe I will start listing new fall designs.

One thing I hate about that though is it always gives me a rushed feeling. Last year I was sewing Christmas outfits in August and I just didn't like that. You can't exactly feel Ho Ho Ho jolly sewing Christmas trees in 90 degree temperatures!

Do You Yart?

What is yart? The yart sale is a seller organized sale taking place on Etsy from June 11 to June 20. It's mixing yard sale + art = Yart. The last time I checked over 400 sellers were participating (and despite the sound of the name, it's not only art that is included).

How do you find items on yart sale? A lot of us have edited the titles and tags to include 'yart', some have added it to their shop announcements, and others have added it to their avatars.

Happy yarting.

Announcement

In appreciation of the beauty of the tiger, I am curating an etsy treasury of tiger themed items. I would like these items to be sold by either Etsy for Animals (EFA) or Cruelty Free Etsy (CFE) members.

If this describes any items you have, either comment here or send me an etsy convo. Thanks so much!

Good Happy Sunny Sunday

Hi everyone, it is a very sunny Sunday morning here.

My quandry this morning is whether or not I should separate my etsy shop. Right now, I have a mixture of children's clothing, accessories, baby blankets, toddler blankets, other baby items (burp cloths, wipes, etc.).

Sometimes it just all looks to cluttered. I am considering separating the clothing and accessories from the blankets and baby items.

But then which one do I want to keep where. Keep the PumpkinLights shop and leave the clothes there? Or the baby items? It would be far more expensive to relist all the blankets than the clothes, but I kind of want to keep the clothes with PumpkinLights.

Decisions, decisions. Or I guess I could just keep it all in one shop and deal with the clutter. :)
