300 Views Right Before 9pm

It has been a very good day in my vintage Etsy shop. I just reached 300 views from Etsy search at 8:59pm. AND I have 6 orders for a good amount of revenue. With another order to come tonight???

My shop has been doing so much better these first 5 weeks of the year than I thought I would. Especially with THOUSANDS of less total views.

I have been doing so much better these 6 weeks since Christmas than I thought. But that also makes me wonder what Etsy did??? To make my views go up so high since Christmas AND what did they do before Christmas to hurt my views?? And for the last 4 months of 2013???

If I could just get the google views back.

Off to watch the Olympics. Maybe pack some of my orders.

300 Views before 8pm

Here at 7:48pm I have 302 views from Etsy search. Pretty good. Glad to see my views have been high again on weekdays. I was thinking that the weekends would be my only high view days. But my Etsy search views have come back?

200 Views before 3 pm

Here at 2:55 I have 207 views from Etsy search!
603 total views.

And have had 2 good orders.

I have gotten some orders packed and will be shipping them soon.

It's been a good day so far.

Prayers & Support for Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis!

Today Ken Ham debated Bill Nye the Science Guy on the origins of the universe.
It depends upon which article you read who won the debate.

I believe in Creationism. I believe in a young earth.

I believe that God, and Jesus, created EVERYTHING.

It is in my heart.

And my eyes tell me so.

I believe that we are all children of God, our Heavenly Father. And that the earth is a school to which we have all chosen to come. With a mission. Each of us has a mission. A mission we agreed to before we came.

I first learned of Ken Ham in the 1990's when I would watch "Origins" on sunday afternoons on the local religious channel, channel 40, in Pittsburgh, PA. The late Russ Bixler, founder of channel 40, hosted the show and Ken Ham was one of his guests.

http://www.answersingenesis.org/

I loved the show. It was very interesting and made me want to learn more.

*******I have no idea in the world how any scientist could be an atheist!! Could not believe in a Creator!*************

Although I did not continue learning about creation science since those days in the 1990's, I have always believed, and will always believe, that

God created the universe.

High Views at Noon. Again; Suspicious of Etsy?

I have 136 views from Etsy search at 12 noon. And 450 total views.

Glad to reach that. I am still not convinced my Etsy search views have come back. No matter how many times I see it. They were down for so many weeks and months and were even low all of december. AND they are higher after Christmas than before Christmas. Which makes me suspicious. That Etsy must have done something to effect my views for 4 MONTHS.

I have orders to pack

More than 400 Views Yesterday

I finished with 436 views from Etsy search and 1,300 Total views. And 2 orders for a good amount of revenue.

Only 48 Google views.

Well today I have orders to pack and grocery shopping to do. I missed The Tonight Show last night. I got tired after 11 so I went to bed. I will watch the next 2 though, his final 2 shows. That is sad. I hope he comes back. I think he should have stayed. He's number ONE. It was probably political.

Off to work.

300 Views before 8pm; Vintage Tea Cup Pics

I have 302 views from Etsy search at 7:44pm. And 915 total views.

It has been a fairly productive day. I got some pics taken and new items listed. Including some nice new tea cups. It was a cloudy day and I would rather have taken the pics of the tea cups on a sunny morning, but I have so many that I decided to take pics of some down on the white counter top with the gold inside them. They look off-white and dark and not as good as the others on the shelf taken during the sunny mornings. But they still turned out pretty good:

Tonight will be a tv night and grocery shopping. Then maybe pack some orders.

And....watch The Tonight Show. It is one of Jay Leno's last shows. I am sad about that. I like Jay. Whatshisname is more of a younger/college student crowd/show. That is not The Tonight Show. I hope Jay gets his job back. Again. lol.

200 Views before 3pm

Here at 3:14 pm I have 212 views from Etsy search and 664 total views.

It is another high view day.

I have orders to pack and ship!

High Views at Noon

I have 155 views from Etsy search here at 12 noon. I guess my views from etsy search have come back for the most part?? I am still not sure or convinced of that.

My views are due to tea cup views.

If I didn't have so many nice tea cups in my shop, my views would be LOW. Probably lower than 2011 when I first opend??

I am looking forward to this year!

More than 300 Views Yesterday

I finished yesterday with 340 views from Etsy search. And 1 order.

Only 1,027 total views though.

I blame that amount of total views on the lost Google views and lost views from other search engines. I finished yesterday with only 47 from Google and only 4 from Bing.

Last feb I was averaging more than 1,200 total views. Oh well.

My shop is still off to a very good start. I wonder if I can keep up this pace??

I just had Deja Vu again!

I just renewed a tea cup listing in my vintage Etsy shop. I was looking at the listing and when I looked to the right of the page over at the other tea cups and looked at one specific tea cup, I had Deja Vu.

That was another moment I dreamt of.

I just had Deja Vu

I was downstairs watching Antiques Roadshow when I decided to come upstairs and check on my vintage Etsy shop. I got to the top of the stairs, looked into my bedroom, then turned back into the hall where I have my computer and as I did I had Deja Vu.

I dreamt of that moment.

Deja Vu to me is experiencing moments I dreamt of. And when I experience those moments I "remember" them.

I don't know why I did. This was a plain, uninteresting moment. Nothing special about it.

Oh well. Back to the Roadshow!

100 Views at 10:10 am

It is good to see me reaching 100 views before 12 noon. My views from Etsy search have come back?? I am hesitant to think they have come back for good. It was months with lower than average views. But they are about where they were last year at this time. Whic has me wondering WHY????

Why did they drop in september and stay down even through Christmas??? But rise back up AFTER Christmas???

Hhhhhh..........

Yesterday was a very good day in my vintage Etsy shop

I had 5 orders with an excellent amount of revenue. That surprised me. I hadn't had a day of that many orders in a while. Although I did have a good month of january.

I also have more than 1,200 total views and one of my highest day of views from Etsy search ever at 387. I've been over 400 views from Etsy search 3 or 4 times total. And at around 370 several times.

I finished with 50 views from Google. Still low and still disappointing. But I am gradually getting over it. lol. I am gradually accepting that my Google views are gone and lost for good. That there is no way I can be relevant for Google. Partly because how Etsy uses our listings! When one of our listings will show up in an image search it will direct the person to similar items on Etsy!

It was a very good day overall though. I am not sure this month will equal the great january I had. I hope I can make a third of that. A third to a half woudl be good.

Now I have to replace all the valuable items I've sold in the past 5 weeks!

Off to work to pack and ship all my orders today!

Last Nights Dream of Being Back in School

I dreamt I was back in school. I was ina classroom. And it was young, unfamiliar kids in the class. And it was a math class? And we were doing problems on the front chalkboard. I was doing one. It was some type of mathmatical word puzzle? And I didn't know the answer and I wrote, "we all know the answer". The problem was a question. So that is what I wrote.

I was in a seat in the first or second row. And I started thinking I was in the wrong class. I thought I was in a match class with younger, smarter kids. And I was held back? Or I was in a lower class? When I should have been in a math class with kids in my own grade? It was like I was in a freshman math class and I was a senior? Even though it was math I didn't know. A math class for smart freshman and I was a senior?

The teacher was sitting in the front of the class in a desk like us students and she was talking about the problems as one of the students was doing the problem on the chalkboard after I sat down after doing mine.

We didn't go over my problem. Just the one girls.

I don't think it was a message. Maybe I was just workign things out. I know at times I have had dreams similar to that. Of being back in school. But with unfamiliar classmates.

I don't think it had any meaning. I was just working things out in my dreams. Just one of those dreams

I LOVED watching the Seattle Seahawks beat BADLY Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in the Super bowl!

I liked it when the ball sailed over Peyton's head on the first play. Then as the Seahawks made plays I was getting happier and more satisfied.

I was glad watching the Denver offense do nothing. And get stopped.

I loved it when Peyton threw that first interception.

When the linebacker Smith returned that interception for a touchdown I was saying "Wow".

When Percy Harvin returned that opening 2nd half kick-off for a touchdown, again, I said, "Wow". And loved every second of it.

I am glad Peyton got beat badly. On national tv. In the super bowl. lol.
His arm is weak. He can't throw the ball more than 25 yards down the field.

I don't like it that Seattle won the super bowl. I wanted New Orleans or Green Bay to make it from the NFC. I would rather San Fran have made it. But it turned out great in the end.

I am still mad that my team, The New England Patriots with Tom Brady, lost in the AFC Championship game. And not good either. And I am still made that Peyton and the Broncos got what I wanted for Brady and the Patriots all season. Another season gone. Another season lost. I can't count on anything. I could say "next season", but I've been saying that every season for 10 years now. So just gotta do what I gotta do. lol.

200 Views before 3pm

Here right after 3 pm i have 213 views from Etsy search and have also had 3 orders. My very nice, very old Royal Grafton blue & white tea cup set, my beautiful Victorian Aynsley pink tea cup trio and a very nice Hobe necklace.

It has been a fairly productive day. Good amount of views, some pics taken, a few orders.

I will try to list some more.

157 Views at Noon

Here at 12:07 pm I have 157 views from Etsy search. Another good morning. It is a sunday, too. Sundays have been high view days for weeks now. Even a few months.

21 Views from Google. That is 2 days now of views better than 20. I should finish in the 50's? Not where they were, still a disappointment, especially because of the thousands of views (and sales?) all the lost Google views have cost me. But it is good to see that many.

I have taken pics of a few books. I will try to take more and get them listed today and tomorrow.

Back to work.

100 Views at 9 am

Here at 9:36 am I already have 112 views from Etsy search. And 372 total views.

Views have come back from the slight drop yesterday. The drop yesterday ended up not being so bad. I still finished over 300 views from Etsy search at 302. At noon it looked like it was going to be more.

Today, 13 views from Google so far. I have to stop even checking them. They are gone and lost. They won't come back.

I have laundry to do. And some grocery shopping. Maybe I will stop in the thrift store. Although with this being the first weekend of the month, people just got their checks, the stores will be busy and the good items in the thrift stores go fast.

Off I go.

100 Views at 1pm

Today, a saturday, has been a noticeable drop in views. It has taken me until 1pm to reach 100.

Yesterday I finished with 323 from Etsy search and 48 from Google.

Still a couple orders to pack and ship today.

Off to work.
